Randy Rhoads is my favorite but Zakk Wylde, Jake Lee and Brad Gills are great musicians no doubt. And of course Iommi is fantastic.

Tony Iommi may not have been Ozzy's guitarist, but I voted for him anyway. You did say favorite & he's the one.

I saw Ozzy on the Blizzard of Oz tour at the Painter's Mill Star Theater in Towson,Maryland and he was just mesmerizing,you couldn't take your eyes off of him.That Flying V that was almost as big as he was was like an extension of his own body.

I don't know why, but every time I think of Randy I feel like crying. He looked like a really sweet guy (pretty, too, in a shy, sensitive way). Many people in the music world have died as a result of their own behaviour (alcohol, drugs, reckless driving and such), but his death was just plain senseless. I wonder whether there's any truth in the saying that "only the good die young"...Cry

I don't think he was just a student of classical music, but also a teacher.  His experience and patience in that area is what allowed such great songs to happen in his short time in the spotlight.

Randy Rhoads!!!!!!!!!!!!

The other guitarists he has had since RR's death don't even come close.

Just think if he would have lived,he was studying and wanted to pursue a career in classical guitar.

And while he never played on a studio album I think at least an honorable mention ought to go to Brad Gillis,he played his ass off on the Speak of the Devil album.

Wrong way round, Iommi wasn't Ozzy's guitarist, Ozzy was Iommi's vocalist (a subtle but important difference )

As far as Mr Osborne is concerned, for me it has to be Randy Rhodes (just listen to the 'Diary Of A Madman' album); I could be wrong, but I think even Ozzy would agree - Rhodes's death affected him personally and professionally, and despite the many guitarists he's tried in the last 20+ years, nobody has come close.

Iommi?Big smile
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I have to go with Rhandy; the most unique of the bunch. Although I don't particularly care for Ozzy's music at all.

I'm going to cast an out of character vote for Zakk Wylde.  He was the guitarist behind some of Ozzy's most creative albums like No More Tears (which Wylde wrote most of the music for).  I don't care much for anything else Wylde has done with any other bands, but I do enjoy what he did on that album.
