Ozzy Osbourne

This first solo effort from Black Sabbath's original frontman was practically an instant classic. Paired with the omnipotent Randy Rhoads on guitar, Ozzy stepped out in 1980 with the commercially successful and easily recognizable "Crazy Train," which was followed up by the widely controversial "Mr. Crowley" and "Suicide Solution." Aside from making headlines, these nine timeless tracks showcase Ozzy's influence on the metal masses; echoes of his clean, melodic vocals and storytelling lyrics can still be heard in metal acts following in the Prince of Darkness' footsteps.
