Here's your question for the night (From Cadeauxxx, thanks!): In Tribute to Ozzy, name 3-5 songs of his that are your favorite WITHOUT mentioning Crazy Train or Black Sabbath songs. (try to avoid the bigger hits, focus on more obscure)
For me I'm going with this list:
1. Fire in the Sky - probably my favorite Non-Sabbath Ozzy song, it's a truly incredible song.
2. Pictures of Matchstick Men (With Type O Negative) - I mean it's Ozzy and Type O Negative, I don't think it was possible for this song to go wrong.
3. Black Rain - Probably Ozzy's last truly great song, it's a great track that feels, thematically, in the same vein as War Pigs.
4. Shake Your Head (with Was (Not Was)) - A really fucking good track from 1983 that features Ozzy in a more electronic setting, Madonna recorded vocals for it as a duet with Ozzy, but she was turned down (this was before she became a huge deal) and when they tried to re-release the song as a dance track with Madonna's vocals, she refused and they had to get notable actress Kim Bassinger instead.
Still, the original version is my favorite.
5. Perry Mason - I know 'try to avoid the bigger hits' but I had to include one big hit and it was either this or No More Tears, so I went with Perry Mason!
