Who really cares, Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson are better than both anyway. But the best metal vocals come from Roy K

Ozzy is not the better vocalist between himself and Dio. They both have fairly distinctive voices, but Dio's voice is clearer with a fuller sound. They're both half the front man they used to be, which is a shame. I agree that Ozzy is the better singer for Sabbath, but thats it. Dio is the better vocalist overall. But there are several better than both: Dickinson, Halford, Kahn (Kamelot), Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian), Tobias Sammet (Edguy), Matt Barlow (Iced Earth) and Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica).

Of course, Dio has stronger vocals. He even saved Sabbath, sure the music changed a little but it was for the better. It's not like Ozzy was invaluable to the band. Nothing against Ozzy, but really what did he actually contribute besides vocals?

Ozzy hates his fans and has zero respect for anyone but his greed. He's a terrible singer and never has been able to sing in key, so he hides behind fantastic musicians, takes all the credit and acts like a buffoon on reality shows and throws water on passive, idiotic fans at his terrible shows.
He is nothing more than vermin and it's a real shame people can't see behind the shameless, media whoring promotion and pandering to a crowd that no longer questions the beep that is fed to them. -

"Heaven and Hell (the album) is way better than anything Black Sabbath did with Ozzy. Yes, that includes Paranoid."
That all comes down to a matter of preference, buddy! I love H&H and MR, but Ozzy left behind a legacy with Sabbath that includes Master of Reality, Sabotage, Paranoid, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Volume 4, Black Sabbath, etc.
Some people might like Paranoid more for its doomy riffs, dark bluesy feel and Ozzy's eerie voice, while others might like Heaven and Hell more for its mysticism, less-bluesy approach with Dio's range. I like both; it's difficult for me to compare though because Dio's only in 2 good Sabbath albums vs. Ozzy's 7 or 8. -

That's exactly right it is all a matter of preference. Who's to say who's better really. I like all forms of sabbath whether it be Dio, tony martin, glenn hughes, Ian guillan, etc.. But I do think Dehumanized is a good an underrated album and the devil you know I also enjoy
