Dio was great musician but if we talking about Black Sabbath I must say that Ozzy is the fuckin best. Ozzy and the rest of crew made the greatest hits and thanks to them Black Sabbath is KULT! Cheers.
@xxxWRAxxx ..Both BS line up made great hits. Dio era made awesome epic masterpieces... Heaven and hell, neon knight, children of the sea, sign of the souther cross, voodoo, mob rules!!i personally would not change any of those for paranoid, iron man or war pigs but thats just my opinion!
I think great singers come down to individula taste. for example i find dio much more passionate in his vocals than kursch, therefore I tend to prefer dio
but im curious, why do you exclude martin? he was a very good singer and fit the 80's sabbath sound well
Same individual taste. Martin seems a bit too much gay. He is artistic but not passionate, he plays role instead of living it. He is good, but all other Sabbath singers were at completely another level, imo.
Btw, check Blind Guardian live records. Those are quite passionate xD
I do agree that martin was not as passionate as the other sabbath singers but I still think he deserves to be mentioned with the others (technically, he was with sabbath longer than dio lol)
he's pretty good, I guess blind guardian is an acquired taste though :P
This song has me questioning whether Dio or Ozzy was a better front man? I do have a great respect for Ronnie though, stepping into Ozzy's shoes took a great deal of courage.
@virago2 ... and by the way.... Dio sabbath era was also kult. Dio sabbath albums also influence many bands. Ozzy sabbath was the original no doubt about that, but Dio sabbath was more of a team, ozzy sabbath was more of gezzer and tonny as everyone knows that ozzy was the most fucked up of them all, thats why he got fired from the band.. just saying!
@MetalkingDio No doubt Ozzy was messed up from drugs and booze, but there is also no doubt he was as much responsible for the success of Black Sabbath as Bill, Geezer and Tony. Everyone has their favorite lineup, mine happens to be the original. That doesn't mean I don't love the Dio lineups and the magic and mystique that Dio brought to the group. It deeply saddens me that I never got to see him live....PS Love him in Rainbow as well
ozzy was sabbath, but once ozzy left no doubt blach sabbath became somthing else, this album is jus amzing, the guitar work is fokin amazing, why dont we see work like that now????
anyone who makes the comments that sabbath is ozzy or ozzy is sabbath are only a ozzy osbourne fan, the only true sabbath vocalists are Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio and Ian Gillan
just to let the younger generation,know, type in early ronnie dio,

For all those who argue Dio vs Ozzy: go try Blind Guardian and their lead singer (songs are pmuch similar to what Dio wrote, btw).
Hansi Kursch beats all Black Sabbath singers in terms of vocals range and power. But that doesn't mean that I have to stop listening Ozzy or Dio.
Before you flame me, keep in mind that i love them all (including Ian Gillan, excluding Martin). Just don't say that "he was the only one".

The ozzy albums were better. (Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Paranoid, Master Of Reality, ...)
But if you only look to the vocalists:
1) DIO
2) Tony Martin
3) Ozzy
(I'm not counting Glenn Hugles and Ian Gillian in it)
