True, but I'd never really consider that Black Sabbath. The band was well dead before he came along, they just became his backing band.

In the same sense, Ozzy wasn't quite Black Sabbath, either. Blizzard of Oz was a good album, and the rest is just those good old 'one good hit song with amazing Randy Rhodes solos to sell the album then a ton of crap' albums.

Although this thread has derailed somewhat I always found Diary Of A Madman far superior to Blizzard Of Oz.

Two totally different artists.

Ozzy was a much better fit w/Sabbath, but Dio was a much better singer. Just give the "Dio at Donington UK: Live 1983" disk a listen and you'll hear there's no comparing the two. I might add a completely ass-whooping live cd.

Priest's, best most consistent albums were "Sad Wings" and "Stained Class". After that, could get cheesy, ie "United". Still very powerful and multi-dimensional band which new how to change it up, as evident on "Screaming with a Vengeance" where the band went from dark speed metal to light glam metal at the flick of a switch. I don't think there was another band that could craft a heavy metal single as well as Judas Priest...well accept for maybe Ozzy.

I've never listened to a whole lot of the Ripper stuff, but "Jugulator" was a cheese ball classic.
