I have to agree with Jody on this one - Blizzard Of Oz was a superb debut solo album, but I feel the band's potential only really came to fruition on 'Diary'... who knows where the next album would have gone had Rhodes lived.

Ozzy's got some proggy songs: Diary of a Madman, Revelation (Mother Earth), No More Tears, Waitng for Darkness, etc.

My favorite is Diary of a Madman. With some elements of prog metal.

I've got all Ozzy's studio albums apart from the last one (but I know it) and my favourite is Ozzmosis (which strangely isn't present in this poll) closely followed by Diary of a madman and Bark at the moon.

The first three are really good, though I voted for "Blizzard..." Randy was one of the greatest losses for rock music (as was, though he played in a different style and context, Stevie Ray Vaughan). Then Ozzy and his band went steadily downhill, IMHO. I really can't stand that guitarist of him - "the king of blacksmiths", as a friend of mine calls him.

I thought 'Blizzard Of Oz' would rightly trounce the others, as it sets out Ozzy's stall magnificently. It's Randy Rhoads at his finest too- every song features an incredible solo.
I'd undervalued his other work until recently when I gave 'Bark At The Moon' another spin- I particularly like 'You're No Different' from that album. However, 'Blizzard' is still his best.

It's 3 out of 4 of those. Flying High Again is on Diary of a Madman.

Yeah, that's what I heard as well.Pretty petty and despicable move on Ozzy and Sharon's part, IMO.
Luckily I got a copy of the original versions of Blizzard and Diary
before they went out of print. Not only is the playing on the remasters
far inferior to the original release, the actual mix and mastering jobs
were _horrible_.
Oh, and I voted Blizzard of Oz

I think Sharon decided to re-record the bass and drums so Daisely and Kerslake wouldn't get paid or something like that.

I voted Blizzard!!
The original album was recorded by:
Ozzy Osbourne: vocals
Randy Rhodes: guitars
Don Airey: keyboards
Bob Daisley: bass, backing vocals
Lee Kerslake: drums, percussion
2002 Remstered version: 
Ozzy Osbourne: vocals
Randy Rhodes: guitars
Don Airey: keyboards
Rob Trujillo: bass
Mark Bordin: drums, percussion
What was wrong with the original??

I'd vote for Tribute, but since it's not there I'll vote for Blizzard of Ozz.
