Love them? Hate them? Why?
Which lineup do you like most?

I didn't listen to much from them after Headless Cross. By then it was pretty much The Tony Iommi Band. My younger brother kept with them and insists the music is great, which I don't necessarily doubt, but to me it just isn't Black Sabbath.
For me it's Ozzy, Dio, then Gillan.
I don't know if it's true, but as I heard it (pre Internet days) Ian Gillan was very happy with what they recorded. After he laid down his vocals he went on vacation (probably to Hawaii), but returned to find Iommi had remixed the recordings. He hated what he heard.
If this is true, who knows what might have been if he stayed on a little longer.
I have a copy of the original masters, before Iommi chopped stuff up. "Stonhenge" is a good 3 to 4 minutes longer, and I thought Gillan's vocals were much better on "Disturbing The Priest" than what was released.
The reunion was good- the "old" sound was tapped into enough to sound like Sabbath, but it's hard to take Ozzy seriously anymore.

Ozzy and Dio for me, after that I didn't follow them much. I do like the Ian song Trashed tho. I did see Black Sabbath with Glenn Hughes singing on their ill-fated 1986 tour where Glenn was fired after like five shows. We didn't care that much, we were actually there to see the opening band - Anthrax!

I don't listen to anything after Ozzy. It's not that I don't like it, it's just what I was brought up on.

They're not bad... but it's not Ozzy. I was lucky enough to see the original line up (reformed) twice. I say twice... once was without Bill Ward as he wasn't too well. Both times were superb. |

I was not a Vinny Appice fan- he was boring, sounding like he was on 'ludes. But I love this riff and Geezer's Bass.

Dio is no Ozzy... he's way better than Ozzy! But only Ozzy could sing Ozzy songs and have it sound right. I love this cover. Note on the 'Back Cover' you can see only one of Ozzy's feet, as though he's stepping into the mirror. |
