THE MOON IS JUST THE SUN AT NIGHT
>>130289139fpbp Cant tell if bait or OP is a fag
>>130289128Listen to Stargazer by Rainbow
>>130289128>unique voiceI've heard more Ozzy clones than Dio clones.
>>130289249This, Ozzy was just kind of a generic bluesy singer, but Dio blended operatic influence with blues influence in a way that was and still is fairly unique.
>>130289242Did it.Garbage. Now listen to Snowblind by Ozzy era Black Sabbath and tell me which song is better. Sure none of them created those songs alone, but they're part of them. My point is that everything Ozzy was involved is great, unlike Dio.
I never got Dio, I never got his style or voice, it's just boring.
>>130289334Snowblind isn't bad, the guitar work is what makes it stand out though. It'd be equally good with any other singer. Dio carried Rainbow as much as Ritchie Blackmore did. I cannot imagine disliking Stargazer. That album's influence on metal cannot be overstated.>everything Ozzy was involved in was greatYou're telling me EVERY Ozzy solo album is great?
Listen to Bible Blackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGEnm76wh_ISabbath's best albums are Master of Reality and their self-titled debut because those are the darkest, rawest albums, and they have the best songs. Ozzy's voice was the perfect counterpoint to Iommi's sludgy guitar, shooting through it like a ray of light. However, Dio was an infinitely better vocalist, and Dio solo is way better than Ozzy solo.
Sabbath with Ozzy - GreatSabbath without Ozzy - ShitOzzy without Sabbath - ShitOzzy's mournful, wailing style was uniquely suited to the heavy, doom vibe of old Sabbath and vice versa, simple as.
>>130289128Sacred Heart is better than Holy Diver anyway.
>>130289443>Ozzy without Randy/ Jake E Lee - Shitftfy
This bait is even worse than the time the westboro baptist church protested his funeral because the music offended them.
>>130289128Dio peaked in Rainbow.
