When I think of BS, I think of Ozzy....but that is because of his extended amount of time with BS. BS would seem odd without Ozzy. I do like Dio as vocalist, though.

When this came out, I was VERY excited. WHen I saw the track listing, I had to go over it a couple of times as I noticed one -glaring- oversight on Black Sabbath's part.

Where the heck is Sign of the Southern Cross!?!?!?!? C'mon, that song is an epic Dio/Sabbath classic. I wonder if there are any interviews out there with any of these guys asking why that song was omitted. (if anyone knows of one, by all means please link)

Other than that, it's a great album. When Heaven and Hell came to town a couple yrs back, I didn't even know anything about it until a day or two before as I heard just the tail end of a commercial on the radio, thus couldn't make the show.

Ozzy for me!..but DIO is great too!!! haha..:).i bet you no one says...Ian Gillan [ A legend with Purple...but with Sabbath???...to be fair it works on a few tracks on the "Born again"LP [Trashed" for eg] but struggled singing the ozzy classics live. Credit to Glen Hughes and Tony Martin who do remarkably well......but i will be gobsmacked if any one chooses them over the legends :bow::bow:

I rate both Ozzy and Dio but I have to go with Ozzy for Sabbath and the rest, well I think Lou said it all.

Dio is friggin awesome and Heaven and Hell is one of the best albums ever but I still prefer Ozzy. He's the original voice and has his own distinct sound that is a trademark of Sabbath. They were still kick ass with Dio but I personally felt it just wasn't the same.
