Ozzy sucks.
"beginning to suspect", lol you crack me up dude. Not every single opinion on something requires 100% knowledge of the subject. If it hurts your feelings that I don't like Ozzy just say so for crying out loud
It doesn't hurt my feelings at all dude. I simply recognized a fundamental gap in your Black Sabbath musical knowledge that I tried to partially resolve. I really don't care if you love'em or hate'em to be honest. But considering the fact that they invented heavy metal, I figured you might be slightly interested.
But 'they invented heavy metal' could be debatable though.
I guess any such declaration can always be called debatable. But it's probably more widely settled than you realize.
...One record of the era, however, threw art-rock ambitions to the wind and exhibited all the bone-crunching elements that would distinguish Heavy Metal forevermore: Black Sabbath. From the tolling bells and crashing horror-movie-theme riff of its opening track to its satanic references and occult imagery throughout, Sabbath's debut album mapped out the terrain for the new and thunderous genre and provided a blueprint for all aspiring bands to follow in their wake. This legacy was cemented by their two subsequent releases, Paranoid (1970) and Master of Reality (1971). One has only to compare the heaviest riffs offered by Jimmy Page, such as Heartbreaker and Whole Lotta Love, to the unearthly sounds that Tony Iommi produced in songs like Into the Void, Children of the Grave, Iron Man, and Lord Of This World to confirm that Black Sabbath did indeed create something that, while not completely unprecedented, sounded like nothing else on Earth at that time. It seems safe to say that history will remember them as the true founders of Heavy Metal.
Ozzy's new stuff isn't great by any means but his old stuff was. I preferred his stuff when he was a member of Black Sabbath but maybe that's just me.
Partially.
What is your opinion of Black Sabbath with Ozzy?
With the exception of maybe 5 tracks, one NOT being Crazy Train since I've just heard it too many times in my life to still like it, I'm not really a fan.
War Pigs is pretty good.
This reminds me, I hate Led Zepplin too.
Crazy Train is not Sabbath, it's Ozzy solo.
I'm beginning to suspect your opinion is not an educated one. Not that there's anything wrong with that, especially when it comes to accounting for taste.
A few of the better known Sabbath (with Ozzy) tunes include:
War Pigs (which you've mentioned)
Paranoid
Iron Man
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
N.I.B. (probably my favorite Sabbath riff)
Tomorrow's Dream
The Wizard
Into the Void
Children of the Grave
Fairies wear boots
Symptom of the Universe
Sweet Leaf (i'm sure you know what that one is about )
After Forever
Lord of this World
Supernaut
