Interesting. Is it just Dio-era Sabbath, or post-Ozzy? After all, there were only really three albums with RJD (plus a live one), so I just wonder if you rate them for their albums with the other vocalists, later on too, or are you simply pro-Ozzy era and that's it? I can't speak to technical areas of guitar playing, but I thought some of Iommi's best solos were on
Heaven and Hell, though there's no doubt that he dropped the dark, doomy tone he had pioneered.
I of course am a Dio fanboy, so although I also love Ozzy era I will usually go for Dio-led, as the change to a more progressive and slightly less dark direction chimed with me. What did you think of
13?
