I would have picked “Shot In The Dark” too if I hadn’t heard it so many times. As it is, I’ll have to agree with Avenger.
To me, The Ultimate Sin is the one album that is killer from start to finish. I also really like all the albums before that, and No Rest For The Wicked. After that, there are a few songs that make me go, “hey, this isn’t so bad” but that’s all.

Just put on The Ultimate Sin because I didn't have most of the songs in memory. Some pretty good songs on there, would probably be great with a better singer.
Stand out track vocally is Killer Of Giants(probably because it's not a regular rocker but more of a moodier piece closer to old Sabbath and his singing moved towards that too), overall I'd give the title track the best rating though. Worst must be Thank God For The Bomb(those vocals ).

Not quite of course, but dangerously close.MEXDefenderOfSteel wrote:maybe commercial, but AOR? i wish R.E.O.

Shot in the Dark is an AOR song, though I must confess to quite liking it anyway.
Good song nonetheless.
Chroming Rose “Pressure” LP found!
100% agree with this statement.. I also love ALL of Bark At The Moon! Classic albums IMO!Keir wrote:The Ultimate Sin is the one album that is killer from start to finish.

Why are a wise man & a wise guy opposites?

It IS taught in any music school that I teach at. From my perspective,those first two Ozzy albums are essential, or, at least they were, if you were learning to play the guitar,and were a Heavy Metal fan in the early '80s.Witchkiller wrote:Ozzy's solo career kills up to No rest Fot The Wicked (my fav album). Magical "commercial" metal on those albums with unique song writing! Diary Of A Madman (the song) should be taught in every music school.........

I still love the first three of Ozzy's solo albums. Though I really don't understand the love The Ultimate Sin always gets. To me, that's really bland, commercialized, devoid of identity... it sucks. And as goes for the last 20 years of Ozzy, I have bought some of the albums but I really wish I hadn't.
I know I ain't doing much,
doing nothing means a lot to me.

I'd also vote for Shot In The Dark.MEXDefenderOfSteel wrote:SHOT IN THE DARK!!! his best songThe Sentinel wrote:My favourite Ozzy albums is "The Ultimate Sin"; catchy as hell and pretty consistent all the way.
But his best song ever for me is "Diary Of A Madman". Mad!
Best album: Bark At The Moon.
