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

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

I like some of the Martin stuff too - lots of good songs from Headless Cross and Cross Purposes. The band didn't even want to call themselves Sabbath at this point; the record company made them. I think that even goes as far back as Heaven and Hell!
I like some of the material on Dehumanizer but in my opinion, it's nowhere along the lines of HH and MR. Same goes for The Devil You Know. I just feel the latter two albums w/ Dio are too doomy for the Sabbath-Dio era. I think Dehumanizer and TDYK would have been better had Ozzy been singing over those riffs. There's just not much, how shall I put it (magic?) in those songs compared to HH and MR. -

Yeah and the Eternal idol album also has some killer stuff. That's a good point you make about them not wanting to call themselves black sabbath because a lot of clueless people always bash Iommi for still calling them sabbath after Ozzy was gone.
I do agree that Dehumanizer and The devil you know isn't as powerful as heaven and hell or mob rules, but I think they are good albums in their own right2000. -
