Damn! RIP Ozzy. When I was learning guitar I loved learning and playing along with his music. He made it a lot longer than I think any of us thought he would!

Glad he got a proper farewell
Is this the guy that pissed on the Alamo?

"You Looking at Me, Looking at You", which was originally left off Blizzard of Ozz, but later added to a reissue.
As they say at work about some, he'll die at his desk. Pretty much what Ozzy did, stadium show and barely a week lately, gone.

He wasn't an Aggie.
He definitely went to fire school.
RIP Ozzy.
This was from one of his early, hard-rocking guitar driven songs:
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love and forget how to hate
I've always thought that was a pretty good message hidden in broad daylight. Wasn't he supposed to be evil and have secret meanings in his songs when played backwards? He fooled everyone for a while.
I hope there are plenty of bats in rock heaven. Ozzy will be hungry.

It was the Alamo Cenotaph.

Saw him in his full blown hair sprayed coke head 80's era. Metallica with Cliff Burton opened. Ultimate Sin Tour. Awesome show!
No one snorted ants better!
Diary of a Madman and Blizzard of Oz are Great rock and roll albums.
And actually for better or worse, the father of reality TV. The Real World started it but The Osbornes blew it up. The Kardashians owe him and his family.

Seems impossible
Given the amount of drugs and alcohol he consumed in his life, it seems impossible he made it this long.
You're right though... absolute rock legend.
I guess he's going to find out when he closes his eyes forever if it all remains the same.
Pretty sure they acted like preservatives to keep him going
All of No Rest for the Wicked is greatly underrated.
RIP, Oz.
RIP, Oz.
Mamma….he's coming home….
RIP. My first concert ever in 1984. Motley Crue opened for Ozzy, amazing. He will be missed.
For me, it is Old LA Tonight off Ozzmosis. But, given that I am primarily an Ozzy fan due to Zakk Wylde's playing, that song does it for me as it hits all the piano and guitar parts perfectly.
Same, I've always thought it was one of his best constructed songs.Claude! said:

His live album tribute to Randy Rhoads is my favorite album of his.

Correct. It was the Cenotaph. And if you look at the picture of him bonding out, he is wearing one of Sharon's dresses. They were both in their hotel room. Ozzy was hammered and naked. Sharon didn't want him leaving so she hid all of his clothes. He put on one of her dresses and ran out of the hotel. Pretty funny.
Well, maybe funny at some time.
Yeah, he was hammered and thought he was urinating against a wall (so goes the story).
His apology a decade later was sincere, I hope - but who knows. He wanted to do a concert in SA.
Contrition, a donation, an apology.

Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
Yeah, you waited on Satan's call

The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye

I forgot about this gem.

No use saying sorry
It's something that I enjoy
Can confirm - he never did say sorry. RIP

RIP Ozzman. I knew of Sabbath and his early solo stuff because I had older siblings but I was 14 when No More Tears was released and it blew me away. So much more than just No More Tears and Mama I'm Coning Home it is a stacked album. Saw him in 1996 and it was a great show and he had a great performance.
Through all the happiness and sorrow
I guess I'd do it all again
Live for today and not tomorrow
It's still the road that never ends
Time After Time and Old LA Tonight are some good ballads.

Same here. Was going to post almost exactly what you said. The song is just great.
Close second is Mr. Crowley.
War Pigs is by far my favorite Black Sabbath song from the Ozzy years.

lol.. what is this homemade mess?
It's a mess for sure. One of the commenters says there is no video of Brad playing this live. He did it on the album but supposedly a fan cut clips together to put this with the music.

yeh the audio kind of seems real (like, it's really ozzy), but none of what I'm hearing is matching up with the video.. they aren't playing the song you're hearing.
interesting fact
Lemmy and Ozzy both died 17 days after their last performance

Too many to pick one…
I'll skip Crazy Train and Iron Man since so many will add those (and they are great songs)
Flying High Again
I Don't Know
Suicide Solution
Over The Mountain
Bark at the Moon
Ultimate Sin
No More Tears
Mama I'm Coming Home
Crazy Babies
Demon Alcohol
Perry Mason

Two that haven't been listed above...
Mr. Crowley may be one of his best. With Randy, of course.
Diary of a Madman is no slouch either.
RIP, POD

You Can't Kill Rock & Roll deserves a strong vote too. As a kid who grew up with classically trained musicians for parents, I pretty much hated rock until just before high school. You Can't Kill Rock & Roll was one of the songs that pulled me into the fold. Randy's guitar intro was a big attraction for me, of course. And the lyrics spoke directly to my angst-filled rebellious teen heart and head like nothing else at the time. RIP Ozzy.
