Black Sabbath
This one means a lot to me. I have always loved Sabbath, and I feel a bit emotional writing this. I never got to see them live, and I still feel a bit gutted about missing the Back to the Beginning shows. I did see Ozzy perform solo at Download, and he played a few Sabbath songs, which was a real highlight.
Ozzy might not be the most skilled singer from a technical point of view, but that does not take away from what he achieved. His voice, his stage presence, and the way he carried himself all made a huge impact. He helped turn rock music into something darker and heavier.
With some styles of music, it is hard to tell where it all began. That is not the case with metal. It started here. This album took the psychedelic rock sound of the sixties and turned it into something slower, heavier, and more threatening. You can hear the roots of metal in every riff.
Beyond the music, Ozzy became a cultural icon. He challenged more traditional ideas of behaviour and appearance. People remember the music, but they also remember the way he looked, the way he acted, and the way he lived. Death to all but metal, hail satan, rest in evil prince of darkness.
