Technique wise Dio was the best....but Ozzy has better songs and better stage presence....so in my opinion Ozzy is the man for Sabbath.

Ozzy hasn't had "presence" since about 1977...

Which songs do you feel are the best from the Ozzy era? And don't forget Ozz had almost nothing to do with writing any Sabbath songs.

Personally I think that Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules eclipse any record Sabbath put out previously. Some of the songs from the Ozzy era are classics, but the Dio songs were light years ahead.

I always heard that Ozzy didn't have much to do with the lyrics for about 80-90% of the Sabbath songs. But I read the book Doom Let Loose and it paints an incredibly different picture. I recommend that book to anyone.

Ozzy was the best. Dio had stupid Dungeons & Dragons lyrics.
