Blizzard of Ozz vs. Holy Diver

It was tough for me. I chose Blizzard of Ozz, mainly because of Randy's guitar work.

as much as i love Dio... i went with Blizzard for the same reason as xyz.

I like Holy Diver but i Love Blizzard of Ozz. Ozzy was top notch back then and he had Randy.

The result of this poll is shocking to me.

DIO.

Bless you, my son.

I love Dio and I even prefer Dio in Black Sabbath than Ozzy, but I voted for Ozzy (the original release not that re-recorded crap they released a few years ago) due to Randy Rhoads guitar work also like mc666

I voted for Dio even though I loved Randys guitar work

Had to go with Randy Rhoads on this one.

Blizzard of course.

dio

Why? Blizzard is the better album.

They are both great albums, and IMO they are very different albums the only thing that connects them together is because both men fronted Black Sabbath but Randy Rhoads was just a great and unique guitar player, so that is why the voting is going the way it is.

Dio is the better one. One of the first songs I ever learned how to play on guitar was Holy Diver.

That and Vivian Campbell sold his soul to "Hearing Impaired Pussy" later on.

(eyesore is going to kill me)

I went with Dio. That albums simply blew me away the first time I ever heard it. While Blizzard is great I am kind of tired of it. Peace.

I barely qualify as a Dio fan. I have only one of his albums and I get tired of his voice easily and most of the songs I can't tell apart....but Holy Diver is a great record. Blizzard is only meh.

I am really hoping the one Dio album you have is Holy Diver! If so, that's a great start to building your Dio collection.

HD, and I'm not talkin' high definition.

I went with Dio, because I'm a bigger fan of "Diary of a Madman" than I am "Blizzard of Oz".

I see a pattern to how and why people vote now. The selling point for either album seems to be Randy for Ozzy or Dio for himself.

You're wrong! I like the music on Dio's album. I agree with SchpongeBob. I don't really like his voice that much, it gets tiring after a while.

Just out of curiosity, who is your favorite metal vocalist?

Agreed, kind sir. Although Bark is my fave Ozz disc.
