1. Crazy Train.....All aboard! His standout song. It kicks some rockin' ass.
2. Flying High Again.....The tune that made me want to buy his solo album.
3. Close My Eyes Forever.....Surprise! A duet ballad at #3. Lita Ford makes it work.
4. Bark at the Moon.....A howling good time tune.
5. No More Tears.....I always think of a shampoo commercial. Still, it's greatness.
6. Shot in the Dark.....One of the first songs I recall that got me hooked on his solo stuff.
7. Over the Mountain.....Guitar riff madness on this awesome cut.8. Mama I'm Coming Home.....Going out on the rock & roll limb and saying this is the song that matured him as a musician.
9. Road to Nowhere.....A solid tune as he has ever recorded.
10. Time After Time.....He really mellowed and went after the rock ballads later in his career.
11. Perry Mason.....It's borderline creepy horror film music. Still good, though.
12. I Don't Know.....Such a simple statement. Such a great song.
13. See You on the Other Side.....It's a beautiful love song....just kidding.
14. I Just Want You.....Not his best vocals, but he sings clearer than he ever speaks.
15. Mr. Crowley.....Can't drop this song out of top 15 contention. It's pure Ozzy.
tie: Gets Me Through.....Just when you think he's done...he records this nice single in 2001. Hard to be believe this song is 15 years old.
UNDERRATED SONG: Dreamer.....It's not dreamy, but it is a solid pick for this spot.
OVERRATED SONG: Goodbye to Romance.....One of his slower jams that just doesn't quite do it for me.
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH: No Easy Way Out.....Great guitar work mid way thru...and you gotta believe in this lesser known Ozzy track from the "Down to Earth" CD.
ALBUM TO LISTEN TO: Sorry "Blizzard of Oz", Sorry "Ozzmosis". Sorry "Bark at the Moon". Hello "Diary of a Madman". It was my inevitable choice. Rock on!
