Ozzy has incredible range, please contribute a favorite song.

This has always been one of my favorite Ozzy songs. I was lucky enough to see him at Ozzfest the year he played the second stage in the parking lot. It was 100+ degrees out and he sprayed my buddy and I with a fire hose!

Dio is probably a far better singer than Ozzy in a lot of ways, but Ozzy is Ozzy and Sabbath are much better with Ozzy

Yeah, very much like Van Halen vs Van Hagar. Better vocals, just not the same band.

So from a technical standpoint, Ozzy isnt that great of a singer. He just has a very unique voice that worked well for his band and music overall.

David Lee Roth actually had an incredible range, especially for a rock singer. (Five octave I believe) but he wasn't always great with his execution. That's not to take away from Hagar, who is a great singer in his own right.

I'd agree with both.. VH isn't the same or as good without DLR and Sabbath definitely wasn't the same or as good without Ozzy.

Budokan seems to bring forth the very essence of HM

I agree, but then again, Iommi, Ward and the rest of Sabbath should follow right along
Ok

Ozzfest 2006 at the Hyundai Pavilion? I was there as well. Couldn't enjoy the music due to dying from the scorching hot heat. I was supremely pissed that he decided to play the 2nd stage and not the main.

Dig them high notes.

So many lesser known songs show off his singing prowess. Decades of songs still thrill the airwaves.

Love this one.

Ozzy is getting in the hall of fame this year as solo artist. I didn't realize he wasn't already in as solo artist.

From Ozzy's 2nd solo album.

 

[Nameless Ghoul]

Ozzy is a legend. I have this photo framed in my house. Between him and Lemmy they are my "patron saints", throw in Hetfield, and Angus, they are my rock 'Mount Rushmore ".

 

[Halifax]

Never even heard this F'n kickass song, or the debate on it. Great post Madmick!

Ozzy's intense performance, in that video, shows why Ozzy is among the greatest entertainers ever. RIP to Freddie Mercury, Elvis, and Michael Jackson.

Really? No more tears was a highly acclaimed album, considered top 2 of Ozzy's career and spawned 4 top 10 singles and this was the opening song on the album. The whole album is killer
