Absolutely awesome!! I have all of Martin Popoff's Black Sabbath and Ozzy books and many others!! I love every book and I am a maniac of Black Sabbath music and Martin Popoff's books as well as performing in my own bands Witchcross(original music and Black Sabbath tribute as well), and my own Ozzy solo tribute band Black Rain , both from Chicago. I thought you would be doing 10 from each Ozzy solo and Sabbath from 1980 forward. That makes it even harder combining them into ten albums including both since I love both so much on every album from both bands. For 1980 forward I have to go 1-10. I didn't want to go backwards.. with #1)"Blizzard Of Ozz" #2)"Diary Of A Madman" #3)"Bark At The Moon" #4)"13" by Black Sabbath(I loved it. I don't care if some people didn't), #5)"Born Again" by Black Sabbath(I am one of the biggest fans ever of this album!) #6)"Mob Rules" by Black Sabbath #7) "Heaven And Hell" by Black Sabbath #8)"Down To Earth" by Ozzy #9)"The Ultimate Sin" by Ozzy #10)"Ozzmosis"

Lair... I have commented before, "what if the Black Sabbath 13 release was a double album" ? There is16 tracks recorded for the 13 sessions. What are your thoughts on the Japan bonus track 'Naivete In Black' on the 13 release? Thank you
I think those songs are really good and yeah they could’ve added them to the initial session. “Seasons of the dead“ is probably my favorite from that extra group of songs. “Naivety in black“ is also very good
Ozzy: "Diary Of A Madman", "No Rest For The Wicked ", "No More Tears ", "Blizzard Of Ozz" & "Bark At The Moon " Black Sabbath; "Mob Rules", "Heaven And Hell", "Headless Cross", "The Eternal Idol" & "Dehumanizer" Besides BS's "Forbidden" I cannot stand anything Ozzy has done after "No More tears".

Oh wow, right off the top I misunderstood the premise. I thought it was top 10 albums that ozzy was on, solo and sabbath. So, I've gotta rethink this right quick. I was very surprised to hear you rank Down To Earth that high. For me, Ozzy's great stretch runs from the 8 sabbath records and through Ozzmosis, but I feel it dips on DTE, when they stopped having his guitarist be the primary writer and brought in so many outside people. But hey, great that you like it that much. OK, let me think this through, this is gonna be difficult. 10. Heaven & Hell/Tyr a dead heat. flip a coin 9. Ozzmosis 8. Eternal Idol 7. The Ultimate Sin 6.

Too difficult to rank them! - My number one would be "Sabotage". - And right after, all together : "Diary, Blizzard/Tribute, Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, No Rest For The Wicked, Bark At The Moon, No More Tears & Master Of Reality". - Coming next; "Technical Ecstasy, Never Say Die & Speak of the Devil". Sorry, nothing from the post Ozzy eras...
I don't get The Eternal Idol love, I just can't get into that one as much as I try. It has a few good songs but for me Headless Cross and TYR blow it out of the water.

I love The Ultimate Sin, but I don't like No Rest For The Wicked. I hate the song Crazy Babies. I just prefer Randy and Jake to Zakk. I've never got any of the Sabbath albums after Born Again, but I'm thinking about it. I never had an issue with the production of ultimate Sin or Born Again, maybe it's because I was really young and my ears didn't know any better yet, or maybe because I was more into Venom? I can just tolerate those productions more than anything over produced. Andy Sneap is the enemy to my ears.
Blizzard of ozz, diary of a madman, bark at the moon, no more tears, heaven and hell, mob rules, dehumanizer, born again, 13, does the devil you know count?. If not then cross purposes.
Surprising how highly diary of a madman gets rated. I like it in my top5 but i think it’s inferior to blizzard of ozz, songs not as Memorable and Randy’s playing a bit more subdued. Both bands really struggled after 1983 to release consistent good albums. Only no more tears and maybe dehumanizer are as good as the 6 albums from 1980-83 to me.

I agree with all your lists, the only difference for me would I would have to have Cross Purposes on my list somewhere.
Yeah, I was torn between that and Headless Cross. The only reason I went for HC was for the reasons I described. Overall I generally prefer CP.
Heaven and Hell, Tony's licks are awesome and solid work from Geezer and Bill to lay that foundation.

Lemmy said he made more money from No More Tears than any of the Motorhead albums.
Unfortunately Motorhead albums were not big sellers and No More Tears was very successful.

I love The Ultimate Sin, but I don't like No Rest For The Wicked. I hate the song Crazy Babies. I just prefer Randy and Jake to Zakk. I've never got any of the Sabbath albums after Born Again, but I'm thinking about it. I never had an issue with the production of ultimate Sin or Born Again, maybe it's because I was really young and my ears didn't know any better yet, or maybe because I was more into Venom? I can just tolerate those productions more than anything over produced. Andy Sneap is the enemy to my ears.
Speaking of working with, it's curious that Ozzy never worked with Martin Birch who worked with so many other classic icons.
I think Heaven & Hell reinvented Sabbath as well as Heavy metal in general.
Blizzard of ozz, diary of a madman, bark at the moon, no more tears, heaven and hell, mob rules, dehumanizer, born again, 13, does the devil you know count?. If not then cross purposes.
Surprising how highly diary of a madman gets rated. I like it in my top5 but i think it’s inferior to blizzard of ozz, songs not as
Memorable and Randy’s playing a bit more subdued. Both bands really struggled after 1983 to release consistent good albums. Only no more tears and maybe dehumanizer are as good as the 6 albums from 1980-83 to me.
