Jake is the best guitarist Ozzy has ever played with. Calm down,of course I mean solo. Tony Iommi remains tops of ALL time. As well it is TONY that is the real Prince of Darkness. Ozzy would be the jester,maybe. Anyway #1 Jake ( hello Badlands greatest 80s lp ever ),#2 Randy then Brad Gillis then Bernie Torme. Waaaaaaaay behind is Zakk " the perpetual pincher " Wylde heading up the rest of the no faced dudes in and out of Ozzy's group.

I can never decide what album I like most out of the first 4. I guess it depends on the mood I'm in. No rest and no more tears are probably the last of any decent Ozzy albums. Any albums after that are constantly changing down a gear or two. Maybe it's because I grew up listening to it since 83 and hearing Sabbath during the 70s has made me fussy with "high" expectations.

No Rest has not aged well with me No More Tears is ok, just listen to it more on the radio than anything and that’s about the only song on the album I like.

OzzY OzzY OzzY! I agree! Diary Of A Madman is a truly beautiful album. It's because of the magic of Rhoads, Daisly, & Kerslake with OzzY bringing the vocals. While I never saw Randy Rhoads play live, I remember when I heard that he had died. What a loss to the world. Randy's solo & outro on Over The Mountain is the greatest guitar solo of all time. Yes 100% Diary of A Madman is the BEST OzzY album ever. The amazing thing about it is that it was rushed (they had to get back on the road) it took them 6 weeks to write & record this masterpiece. That's "extra extra crazy" as Ozxy would say. I would rank his other studio albums as 2 Blizzard Of Ozz 3 Ultimate Sin 4 No More Tears 5 Bark At The Moon 6 No Rest for The Wicked 7 to 11 OzzY made more solo albums after No More Tears? I didn't bother, Ozzy claimed he would do no more touring and said goodbye to everyone on his No More Tears Tour (No More Tours). He claimed retirement so do any of his albums matter afterwards? No More Tears was a good album. It was leaps and bounds better than No Rest4tWicked OzzY OzzY OzzY OzzY OzzY OzzY OzzY Suicidal 4 Life Peace

Everyone remarks about the sonic difference between the first album The Blizzard of Ozz and the second album Diary of a Madman. Here why there was such a sonic difference, interview from the man himself ...producer Max Norman: NORMAN Back then (Blizzard album), the main thing we had in the studio was the AMS 1580 digital delay, which was the first, good long digital delay. I remember it went to 408 milliseconds, which was really something in those days (for note, alot of Randy's delay settings were exactly at that max setting, 408 ms). On Blizzard of Ozz, a lot of the echoes on Randy’s guitar are 408 milliseconds long. On the second album [Diary of a Madman] we had a Lexicon 240 Reverb with new chips in it. We used that for some of that spacey clean guitar stuff on the album, with long, 30-second decays. We doubled those guitar figures into it. That makes it kind of spooky.

1 and 2, aka ...DOAM and Blizzard argument reminds me a little of Metallica's Ride the Lightning vs Master of Puppets.

My list: 1. Blizzard of Ozz - A huge wave of creativity which defined Ozzy's style from thereafter, and a great introduction of Randy's guitar wizardry. 2. Diary of a Madman - Maybe not all songs are on level of the debut, but a quite weird, sick and heavy album. 3. The Ultimate Sin - Rock/metal anthems one after the other. Nothing new invented, but great melodies all over and even the ballads are geat. 4. Ozzmosis - It's quite versatile and since I listened to it very much when I was a teenager it's still very definitive for me. 5. No More Tears - For me it's a bit over the borderline which separates rock from pop, but the songs and the performance are all top quality. 6. Bark at the Moon - It's also a very versatile album, though not so consistent, with So Tired, the first of the awful boring cheesy Ozzy ballads :-D. 7. Down to Earth - A bit less exciting than the previous albums and lacks such a character, but still has some good songs. 8. No Rest for the Wicked - It's not bad, but the songwriting imho just doesn't touch the other '80-'90s albums of the Prince of Darkness. ...and I'm not familiar enough with the more recent albums. :)

Good critique. I think the albums how you placed them were about spot on. Ozzmosis is right where it should be. No More Tears should of been below No Rest for the Wicked. In my opinion and its more of a sentimental opinion The Ultimate Sin is my favorite Ozzy solo album. Blizzard of Ozz when it got heavy it shined but when it got soft it was blah. I hate No Bone Movies. Goodbye to Romance is a snoozer. Diary of a Madman I would say would be my second. Good ranking. Im surprised Ultimate Sin you had second. The album in my opinion is criminally underrated. I just read through some of the comments and blown the fuck away with The Ultimate Sin love. Thats awesome to see.

I usually wouldn't include a live album on a rankings list, but RR Tribute is my #1 because I was a late bloomer listening to Ozzy and I heard Tribute first. After hearing that almost none of the originals from Blizzard or Diary sound as good as they did on Tribute ... so my top 5 is: 1) RR Tribute, 2) Ultimate Sin, 3) No Rest for the Wicked, 4) No More Tears, 5) Diary.

RR Tribute aside from being one of the greatest rock band line ups in history had great sound recording quality. I first heard it on cassette tape and cranking it up gave me true concert sound quality.

RM, yes sir… Diary then Ultimate. Always thought Ozzy was over rated compared to Halford, Dickinson or even King Diamond… But listening to “ Little Dolls” an epiphany!!! Ozzy is a GOD.. and he brought us Randy Rhodes… 🤘

Excellent list! The later Ozzy albums are easy to avoid. A rapper? Anyhow, Bark at the Moon may be the rock and roll Thriller ... I've never really made the comparison, but I don't necessarily disagree. I love Jake E. Lee's playing and appreciate that album the same way I enjoy Flush the Fashion by Alice Cooper. Your content rocks!!! 🤘

Pretty good ranking. For me Ordinary Man was pretty ordinary... if not lame. I would have put it last. You can hear his voice is on autotune. Yes he is old. So is Klaus Meine and his voice has barely changed.
@RuthlessMetalYT2 жыл бұрын
yeah, Ozzy has perhaps aged more than Klaus Meine. Cheers!

Zakk just can't hold up to Randy or Jake. Even Brad Gillis on the first live album held up better than Zakk. To bad Brad did not stay around, but than there would be no Night ranger.

Speak Of The Devil is underrated af. Ozzy sounds unhinged and Brad Gillis has insane guitar tone. Controversial, but I dig it more than Sabbath’s Live Evil, even though many of Ozzy’s vocals aren’t really live

My parents bought me Diary of a Madman for Christmas in 1981, by 3 o'clock in the afternoon I listened to it 4 times. The title track is amazing and perhaps the 1st symphonic metal song? Bought Blizzard of Ozz a few days later, good but not great. A year later I bought Bark at the Moon, good title track but nothing after. Last of all I bought The Ultimate Sin, complete crap, what they did to Ozzy's voice a sort of proto autotune, sounded like a pop singer not a metal. That was the last Ozzy album I bought.

That's badass to hear your story about Xmas 81 and your parents buying you DOAM. Diary is my favorite and BATM is my second favorite because they're the darkest. Maybe the copy of TUS turned out bad with off key sound. I first bought No Rest For The Wicked on cassette tape at Fiesta back in the early 1990's. My best friend and I were both in shock at how fucked up it sounded. But then later on we went to a friend's house and he got the CD which sounded okay and we told him about the tape I got. He said "maybe you got a bad tape" and damn I'm glad that turned out to be the case.

I'm in my mid-50s and was about 13/14 years old when Blizzard of Ozz came out. So, for whatever it is worth, this is my ranking on a scale of 1-10 (10 being perfect). 1) Diary of a Madman -- 10.1 (yes, I just broke my own rating scale) 2) Blizzard of Ozz -- 10 3) Bark at the Moon -- 8 4) The Ultimate Sin -- 7.5 After The Ultimate Sin there is nothing worth rating. Ozzy owes all his success outside of Black Sabbath to Randy Rhoads and even Bob Daisley.

I think that Ozzy wasnt even actually alive after No More Tears. Sharon just poked his corpse with an electric cattle prod to get his ass on the road to pay her prodigious ever mounting wardrobe and decorating bills. Kinda like the movie Weekend at Bernie's where they just wheel him around with sunglasses on.

OzzY 3rd album release was a double live album with only Sabbath songs (Talk/Speak of The Devil) is technically all covers but thats debatable. He also did an entire cd of his favorite songs. I believe it's from the Prince Of Darkness set. All songs are pre 80s rock and a Disco song. Staying Alive w/Dweezil Zappa, Mississippi Queen, Born to Be Wild, Working Class Hero, In My Life, Fire & Purple Haze are some of the songs I recall. Zack is playing on Purple Haze so it's cringe-worthy & laughable. It's from the same compilation that has him re-doing Changes with his daughter, Kelly. So that gives it a little respect, but not a whole lot lol Peace

Speak of the Devil (or Talk of the Devil as it was released in the UK) is a covers album too. Sort of. Kind of. In a way. Well... it was seen/marketed as a covers album when released anyway. Plus its better than Undercover. Not by huge margin but defo better! LOL
