Diary Of A Madman definitely. Many people go for Blizzard but I find it an album where Ozzy and Randy Rhoads were both finding their feet musically whereas Diary was much less reliant on generic riffs and crowd pleasing songs.
There are a couple of good tracks on Bark at The Moon (You're No Different/Waiting For Darkness) and The Ultimate Sin has big big memories for me from childhood and is nostalgically my fave but Diary is a damn fine album.
A couple of tracks on No Rest are good (Breaking All The Rules) but I gave up by then and have never heard a single album after this release.
