They are awesome, I'm just saying that he didn't write much of them, if any. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Friday, May 28, 2010 7:22:22 PM)

Blizzard and Diary were two fantastic albums. That cemented Ozzy's presence in Metal more than Black Sabbath, in my mind.

All the songs were written by Butler and Iommi. As leader of the band Iommi credited the whole band on every song. Don't ask me why but that's what they did. From what I gather all the songs on Ozzys first two solo albums were written by Randy Rhoads and Bob Daisley. Ozzy doesn't contribute much in the writing stakes other than an idea or melody here and there but gets credit, I guess, because he makes the songs so good with his voice, presence and showmanship.

Is that right, Jimmy? I thought that writing the lyrics was why Osbourne got his name on the song credits. If I'm wrong, I'm happy to stand corrected. Still think Ozzy's voice suited what they were doing in those early years perfectly.
