Rainbow is some good stuff. "Stargazer" is one of my favorite tracks of all time. Beautiful stuff.
Its tough to choose, I like Ozzy and Dio both, but when it comes to careers outside of Sabbath, I like Dio's more. So, I guess that means I'm choosing Dio? (I would like to just choose Black Sabbath and say both vocalists were awesome, but I don't think that's what the Sabbath option means.

I chose Ozzy but that's probably got more to do with the fact that I'm an 80's kid than which lineup was actually better. I nearly chose Black Sabbath but I'm more into Ozzy solo if I'm honest.

I think both Sabbath and Ozzy are best at their place. It's not proper to compare them.

Now there's a smart man ! I like your comment MarkHenry..not too keen on BEST when applied to music or the arts in general, my tastes change daily maybe hourly !!!..lol..it's all subjective to one's personal taste !

No way, I definitely dig Ozzy. Sab is cool but nothing beets Ozzy.

Yes Steve I know what you mean about tastes changing daily because I also listen to a lot of various music and it depends on what mood I am in at the time what i actually listen to although I do have a few all time favourites that i get out of the toy box from time to time when i need them.
