Heaven & Hell, easily. I don't really think Blizzard is all that great. It's got a couple classic tracks, but Heaven & Hell plays beautifully as an album. It's very atmospheric and just works a lot better for me as a front-to-back play than Blizzard does. Diary of a Madman was where Ozzy pulled off a really solid album.

Blizzard because of Randy Rhoads and my dislike of Dio. I think I've said on here before that Randy Rhoads is like the guitarist equivalent of Superbad: phenomenal on their own but they sparked a massive wave of unsuccessful imitators that made a lot of the work in that genre unbearably bad.

Examples of those bad imitators?
Btw, for the record: I don't like anything Dio has ever done, except Heaven & Hell and Mob Rules. Screw his solo career and the last couple albums he did with Tony Iommi. |

Buckethead and George Lynch come to mind. They're just as fast, even faster, but holy **** are they boring and uninventive.

I used to like some Buckethead tracks, but yeah, I think he buries his good ideas under mountains of wank. I can't say that I've ever made the connection between him and Randy, though. I'll have to sit on that for a while to see if I think it makes sense.

It's in the soloing style.
