I think Dio is a better singer but Ozzy was the best singer for Sabbath.

I agree.

I like the albums with Dio, and he is a technically better singer, but the true classic Sabbath sound was made whole by Ozzy's vocals IMO.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Ozzy of course.
There is no other Sabbath's singer for me but Ozzy. Ozzy + Iommi is classical Black Sabbath.

Don't get me wrong, Ozzy did his fair share of calssics with Sabbath, but Dio completely brought the band to new musical realms. I mean, Ozzy couldn't have sang 'Children of the Sea', 'Mob Rules', 'Die Young' and the like, could he?

Ronnie Dio rules! I like Ozzy a lot, especially as a person, but let's face it - he's no singer. Great for the first Sabbath albums, but the band with Ronnie was something else.
 
After Ronnie, I'd also like to mention Glenn Hughes - my favourite vocalist of all. His performance on "Seventh Star" is nothing short of stunning, and both the albums he recorded with Tony Iommi in more recent years are fantastic.

 Dio is a better overall vocalist, but nothing he did in Sabbath or elsewhere can compare to the power and the influence of the fist 5 or 6 Sabbath albums so I gotta say Ozzy, even though over the years I've lost alot of respect for him.

Technically, all singers after Ozz are better. Ozz, however, just has THE characteristic Black Sabb voice.

"Allright now!"
"Won't you listen!"

Ozzy? PFFT! This is not a joke, I've heard a lobotomy patient who was more coherent than Ozzy. I'm not kidding. The Dio Sabbath was a hundred times better. I'm still going with Tony Martin though.

   this is the most unfair post ever...how could you possibly compair these 4 Voices.. (i don't mean that Martin is not a good singer, but there can be no serious competition for him). i mean, Ozzy has the most eloquent voice i've ever heard and with the rest of the Sabs defined hard music as we know it today..without these albums nothing would be the same today..

who can tell anything bad for Dio? his voice is perfect. so are Sabbath albums with him (Dehumanizer aside..)

Gillan? seriously? the voice of Deep Purple.. if Sabbath were influential, then what Deep Purple were? ask Michael Kiske, Geoff Tate, Ray Alder and so many others about Ian..

Hughes has the most technical voice of all the above and also it's not fair for him because Seventh Star was supposed to be a Iommi/Hughes project LP but the record company insisted on a... new 'Sabbath' album..

Personally, i voted for Dio because whenever i listen to 'Neon Knights' 'Heaven And Hell' 'Falling Off The Edge Of The World' and so on i get feelings that can only be compared to the touch of a woman.. if you know what i mean... Ozzy excites me too but it's more of a.. bite of a woman vampire... ha ha..

While Dio is a better singer and I enjoy listening to him more,Ozzy is the TRUE voice of Black Sabbath.
