Good thread! I think Rio made another group: The Ozzy Years (I'm here so I'd call it the REAL Black Sabbath), the Dio Years and the Rest.
Dio was a sublime musician/singer and I'm glad for them to have decided to be Heaven And Hell instead of Black Sabbath. I think both periods were superior to the T. Martin days...
I do agree Heaven & Hell is overrated, but not that much! Dehumanizer is underrated on the other hand. That's an excellent album! I saw Black Sabbath with T. Martin live some 10 years ago or more. Then I saw Ozzy a couple of times. Now there's a chance to see the 3 of them together (we'll miss Bill) which I might have to pass up...
