i used to frequent a guitar shop back in the 80's that levied a $2 fine to anyone who came in and picked up a guitar and played that song.
also, paranoid, and stairway to heaven. there was actually a sign.

I mean, there's a reason nobody else uses it as much as he does. Because it starts to get ****ing annoying after a while. Every riff the guy writes is just, "Chugga chugga chugga WEEOOO, chugga chugga WEEOOO". Honestly, Zakk. It's been twenty or so years of that ****e now. Give it a ****ing rest already.

...now that I've got that out of my system, Sabbath with Ozzy. :)

It's pitch harmonics...not pinch harmonics lol. yeah i see your point but, I mean, Zakk don't give a damn you know? He likes playing that so he plays it. I don't think he even really did that to try to distinguish himself from others, I think he just played it and it stuck. I got to admit though they do start to get predictable after a while you can hear a song by him you've never even heard and pretty much know exactly when certain things will happen.

Ozzy's solo career.

It gave us Crazy Train, and Bark at the moon

im biased, i saw sabbath with dio (first concert i'd ever seen) and so il go with sabbath w/ dio. Although thats pretty much by default

Wayfarer: And sure it may get old watching his solo's o on for hours but he has done a ton of work for other artists thats all different and fantastic.

I dunno if its been mentioned but Dio is dead....

Sabbath and Ozzie anyday. Apart from the self-titled debut and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath being a couple of the coolest albums that have ever graced the music industry with their presence, they're also responsible for this merry ditty, which is reason enough for my vote alone;
