I was going through my Ozzy cds and I think I am missing 1 or 2...can someone give me a list of his albums by order when they were released...also curious to know which album is your favorite? Black Sabbath dont count just Ozzy please...Thanx much...
K!
The only two Ozzy I own are Blizzard Of Oz and Diary Of A Madman. Those two albums are two of the greatest albums ever recorded in every single way. I bought them when they came out, and when Randy died it was the first time I cried over a famous person dying. I sat anxious and excited to hear the new stuff.
Then Friday Night Videos started to advertise that they were having the premire of "Bark At The Moon" on!!! There I sat in front of my TV all set to see Ozzy come storming back to the brilliance I loved soooo much. The "evil", the "scary", the "serious".
Instead I got Ozzy running around in a werewolf suit, acting terribly, with a song that was just downright silly sounding.
Ozzy went onto say that his stuff was meant to be taken in the light of Hammer Horror films. The video was a tribute to Hammer or sorts. The thing was, I loved the fact that his stuff, with Sabbath (though I am not a fan) and those first two solo releases, was SERIOUS. I never took it as an act. Everything since then has been an act.
I now realize that it was Randy, Bob Daisly, and Lee Kerslake that I was a fan of. They just found a really good vocalist to front THIER band. If those three could somehow put out a new album, I am sure I would LOVE it.
Long answer I know. Sorry. But it is a case of everytime Oz releases new stuff, I get excited, and hope to once again have those feelings hit that a 10 year old me had once upon a time. I love Ozzy for what he did for me as a kid. I loved my Ozzy obsession, and I love my memories of it. I would never have taken my guitars serious without Ozzy finding Randy. But the man has broken my heart for years now. But I will always respect him, and have a little love for him.
