Ozzy was a pioneer of the metal genre, but as a singer Dio is obviously stronger. Dio has more of a range, but also has a stronger voice. Ozzy does have some singing ability, but it is surpassed with by Dio's vocals. |

Well said, Bad! Ozzy gets a dreadful and undeserved bad rap far too many times! People seem to forget that unique and unmistakable voice, (just like our Metal God Rob), like nothing anyone could ever copy! He's still one in a million in my book, whether he's an accomplished 'composer' or otherwise! And I have far too many great memories of my youth attached to his songs!

But I promise you, even now.. and even on the "Kevin Churko" (SP?) project that was Scream, Ozz was in there with major input in both the music and lyrics. Sorry.. I don't buy the whole thing about him just getting lucky. Nobody has a career lasting 40 years at the very very top of their chosen profession without being incredibly talented.
Erm.. ok I ran out of words!! I once spray painted the words Ozzy Is God outside the Mayfair in Newcastle and that seems a good way to finish and press send! :;o)

Dio on Sabbath's "Heaven & Hell" was Black Sabbath's greatest album. Dio's solo albums kick *ss. He was a way more versatile singer than Ozzy. Greater range, more personable stage presence and the best thing to happen to Sabbath. Ozzy was better with Rhodes and Jake E. Lee on guitar. The band Heaven & Hell was also slamming with a more daring vocal approach & sick guitar. |

Ozzy is nothing without Black Sabbath. In Sabbath, he contributed NOTHING! Did not write music,
did not write lyrics, knew nothing about the technical or production. His voice was a match for the first
4 albums though; a miracle and Sabotage is my favorite. Ozzy only made it solo because his wife was a genius
when it came to selecting a great technical backing band and technical crew, as well as marketing strategy Geared to American listeners.
DIO is DIO.... Professional, mystical, and an all around much better talent! RIP. This man can really sing live!
As for Ozzy, I want my money back - worst show ever in 1985 - I was embarassed for him.
Judas Priest always a great show:-) |

I would say Dios solo stuff was more consistant overall but Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman are better than any Dio solo album. No Rest For The Wicked would be on par with Dios best solo stuff too.

Apples and Oranges my fine feathered friends...I loved Heaven and Hell, I was a Rainbow fan and loved RJD's vox.
Technical Ecstacy and Never Say Die were terrible LPS. Ozzy's addictions and behavior even had the Sabs looking for someone to take the Oz man's place for the tour. Get real, Sabbath had been in decline since "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", some great songs here and there, not a whole collection though.
Black Sabbath and Ozzy parted ways and both were better for it. Sabbaths LPs with RJD are good solid A+ platters, sure there were a few stinkers over the years with very inconsistent writing for the Sabs with an assortment of vocalists, and the two Jake E. Lee projects by Ozzy had the same issues.
As a solo act Dio was pretty damned good...still after the second solo album it was proven he needs a strong guitar player to flesh out his ideas...ya gotta figure after working with Blackmore and Iommi the loss of Campbell was huge.
So while Dio was by far the better singer, Ozzy was his eaqual as a frontman when he was not screwed up. They each have their special charm.

Good info, Jimmy
Suppose Iommi and Butler sharing writing with all the members of the band is a bit like Bono and The Edge sharing songwriting of all U2 songs with the band - class gesture, if you ask me.
Agree with comments about Blizzard, Madman and No More Tears, although I thought the latter album was his most mature of his career, but the early Sabbath is in a different stratosphere, for me. |

Errr, NO.....................That is a saying here. When you hear something you know is just fucking brilliant the tiny hairs on the back of your neck stand up, otherwise called, Shivers down your spine. I'm sure you know that.

Dio had the better voice, for sure. His work on Rainbow Rising and Heaven and Hell is awesome. His writing is not as good as Ozzy's.

Even though I Iike (some) Motley Crue I agree with you on that one. I have been to twelve
Ozzfests and this will probably be the weakest one but I'll go just to see Halford. Also, that's
not twelve different Ozzfests just twelve total. I've seen four of them in two different cities.
I've seen eight different ones.

I know most will not be as excited as I am but I just read that there will be an Ozzfest 2010
this summer. Ozzy will headline (yes I know he'll suck) but here's the cool part. Co- headling
the main stage will be none other than the Metal God himself ROB HALFORD. They only have
6 shows planned.
San Bernadino, Ca.
Chicago, Il.
Pittsburgh (fuck yeah), Pa. 
Hartford, Co.
Camden, N.J.
Boston, Ma.
I know I'll get to see Rob this year is why I'm so happy. Maybe twice if he hits the area on his own tour.
Peace all!

Dio is obviously more talented than Ozzy but if the question is who was better for Sabbath
I'll take Ozzy any day. Heaven and Hell is a great album, Mob Rules is O.K.. Dehumanizer
I didn't care for at all. Other than Never Say Die I love everything Sabbath did with Ozzy.
Sabbath is my second favorite band next to Priest and I was into them before Dio so maybe
I'm biased. This is my opinion and it only matters to me. I saw Dio 6 times and, once with
Sabbath and again on Priest/Heaven and Hell tour so believe me I love Dio I just like Ozzy
fronted Sabbath better. |

Yep the Dio albums reign supreme for me!! i dont really think there is a bad song on Heaven..... and Mob Rules.
The Ozzy (Sabbath) albums in my opinion are patchy...the good songs are good but the naff one are....naff! lol but i guess Ozzy is the better frontman. |

on the album revolution fits beter. I havent heard this ozzy POS, since I cant play it at work, but I am sure its all no good.

On that note,Angel Of Retribution may not be Judas Priest's best LP but its not thier worst either,it utterly amazes me how many people not just on this forum but outside this forum who do not like Retribution,they all compare it with recent boring Iron Maiden albums and to me thats unbelievable.
I swear if Angel Of Retribution were released in 1986 instead of Turbo,90% of these people who say they don't like it would be hailing it as a classic right along side of Defenders Of The Faith. I still say that Judas Rising,Demonizer and Hellrider are just as good as ANY JP track ever,name any 3 songs by JP and those 3 are just as good to me anyway. It doesn't matter though,Priest could release an album better than Painkiller and since its not released in the 80's 90% of people would hate it,thier loss. I really think that Angel Of Retribution is an underrated album,still say its the band's 5th best studio album of all time I even like it better than Stained Class,Hell Bent For Leather and Defenders Of The Faith but thats my opionion.

I know, it's pretty stupid. However the fact that they released it as a single means it's probably the best song on the album. If that's the case then this album is going to be an incredible achievement. I never would have believed that Ozzy could make an album worse than Black Rain, but if this song is anything to go by he may just have surpassed himself. He should have kept the title Soul Sucka, that would have been the icing on the shit flavoured cake.
