February 1, 200916 yr Author Some Other Key Songs: MII3ns2KTBc Iron Man (1970 live USA#52) xtqy4DTHGqg War Pigs (1970 live) uRhZISswW_k Children Of The Grave (1971 original, Live 1974) 5SH2DNAB0Qo Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973) Were any of you fans of Ozzy's former band, and were any of you fans of his replacement (when Ozzy flew solo) Ronnie James Dio?
February 1, 200916 yr I prefer Dio tbh, Ozzy will always be associated with Sabbath but for me Ronnie James Dio is the best rock singer of all time, got all his stuff from Elf, Rainbow, Sabbath, his solo stuff etc Only solo stuff I liked from Ozzy was Blizzard Of Ozz album which to me is a classic
February 2, 200916 yr in the 70's (pre punk) music was very polarised, and if you liked sabbath you were invariably a biker... lol... i wasnt, so whilst the music was good... it wasnt my scene. cant deny their achievements though, being the template many have followed.
February 2, 200916 yr Sabbath, one of the greatest bands of all time....End of..... Ozzy for me Craig I'm afraid.... I just never thought Dio's voice suited Sabbath's style...... It would be like having Johnny Rotten or Joe Strummer fronting Rush or Genesis really......
February 3, 200916 yr Dio is one of the worst rock vocalists. He sounds like a helium filled dwarf. (or should that be little person.) Sabbath (and Purple and Zep) defined heavy rock in the early 70s. Their most over-looked track must surely be Supernaut which has one of Iommi's greatest riffs.
February 4, 200916 yr Like Rob, most of their stuff passed me by, only really liked Paranoid if I was being honest. I prefer them now looking back, but not at the time.
