tough choice? No?! It was the year both reinvented themselves. So which one appeals to you more?

| Sabbath for me. I always thought Ozzy got off to a half-assed start. |

Sabbath! Dio! Sabbath! I was never a big fan of solo Ozzy. I think Blizzard of Ozz is his high point. As the 80s progressed and moved into the 90s his stuff got less and less appealing and more and more bland.

Randy Rhoads' performance on BOO is probably the only thing that could make me choose anything over Black Sabbath. Ozzy on this one. ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

I have them both on my playlist for the weekend. Haven't heard these two in a long while. I'll come back next week. ------------- |

Sabbath. I do like Blizzard though. It's probably Ozzy's best album, although I thought Diary of a Madman was pretty good. After that...no thanks. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Revelation: Mother Earth from BoO is an amazing song. Mr. Crowley is pretty good too. Those are the only really enjoyable moments from either of those albums. I suspect I sit in the minority when I consider "Mob Rules" to be the superior of the Dio era Sabbath albums. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

I do too, now, although I did not feel that way at the time. As a teen, I preferred HH. ------------- |

And I must be in the tiniest minority when I prefer Dehumanizer above them both. ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent." Charles Bukowski |

| Heaven And Hell by a country mile. Blizzard Of Ozz is still a good album but not quite on the same level, and it hasn't aged well. |

1980 was the best surprise ever. After thinking an era had ended with Ozzys departure from Sabbath an metal had an unfilmable hole, instead of getting zero great albums, we get two of the best ever. Instead of being gone, Ozzy goes and turns out an album that is worthy of his best work with Sabbath (thanks in no small part to Randy Rhoads) and Sabbath.... well, the just go on to put out the single greatest metal album of all time. |

I think Sab is infinitely more musically satisfying than Ozzy solo albums. I also think Mob Rules is better than HH. Not dissing Ozzy. I like his vocals on the early Sab albums very much. I can't imagine the early Sab with Dio on vocals and I don't think they'd have the same vibe at all without Oz. ------------- |

Haven’t heard either for ages but as I recall it was Sabbath. ------------- "There is nothing new except what has been forgotten" - Marie Antoinette |
