| What a career this guy has had. Black Sabbath and
solo, this guy has created such a wealth of material. But
this is the album that introduced Randy Rhoads to the world. Randy
Rhoads had that special blend of classical influence and heavy
metal/hard rock flash. We couldn't even begin to calculate the
extent to which he has influenced guitar playing throughout the
world. This album features "I Don't Know", "Crazy
Train", "Mr Crowley", "Goodbye to
Romance" and "Suicide Solution". But my all-time
favorite track from Ozzy on any of his albums is Revelation
(Mother Earth). Ozzy has never put out a bad album. He came
close with The Ultimate Sin (1986) but there were a few
good songs that were just good enough to save it from being put
in that category. After this album I'd recommend the following
albums in the following order: Diary of a Madman (1981)
which features "Flying High Again" and "Over the
Mountain", Bark at the Moon (1983), Ozzmosis (1995),
which features "Perry Mason", and No More Tears (1991),
which features "Mama I'm Coming Home". |
