the Prince of Darkness is also the
Godfather of heavy metal welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 Ozzy
Osbourne songs
number ten I don’t know
one of the first things fans heard from
Ozzy after Black Sabbath was the
inaugural track of his solo debut
beginning with a fiery intro by Randy
Rhoads who single-handedly revitalized
Ozzy’s career and brought it to greater
heights the song proves the Prince of
Darkness is not trying to be a role
model but that he is out to redeem
himself
this tune was all we needed to know Ozzy
was back and brandy cemented things with
a solo
you
number nine mama I’m coming home there’s
a change and
here I come but I
planning to hang up his bat horns once
and for all
Ozzy embarked upon the no more tours
tour it was in that state of mind the
heat pen mama I’m coming home with
guitarist Zakk Wylde and motörhead’s
Lemmy as a tribute to his wife and
manager Sharon
while he obviously never stopped touring
this song became a successful power
ballad showcasing Ozzy’s softer side
number eight mr. Crowley
beginning with an organ solo and then
moving on to Aussies tales of Aleister
Crowley
mr. Crowley sets the stage for one of
randy rhoads most impressive acts
displays ever
the success of guitar solos become even
more impressive one after the other
until the song finally rides out with
some of the talented guitarists best
ripping
number seven flying high again
not only was Aussie unashamed of his
substance abuse he often put the topic
front and center in his music casting it
in a positive light
though he’s denied this concerning the
epic flying high again Ozzy’s still
introduced it in concert by telling fans
to keep on smoking those joints either
way our substances of choice our roads
guitars and Ozzy’s lyrics but really do
you doubt in time when he sings the
opening line
number six bark at the moon all roads
death Jake Ely contributed guitar work
to to Ozzy records
you
while the ultimate sin features
fan-favorite shot in the dark
bark at the moon’s title cut has Ozzy
singing about a resurrected Beast out
for vengeance
nothing Lee could have done would have
made fans forget Randi but bark at the
moon shines thanks to its outro solo
which showcases Lee’s talents
particularly on the live versions
number five suicide solution
written by bassist Bob Daisley about
Ozzy’s battles with the bottle suicide
solution had the Prince of Darkness
claiming it was actually about ac/dc Bon
Scott
and the song made headlines when
Osbourne was sued by the parents of a
teen who took his own life while the
tracks lyrics could be interpreted as
incitement to take up drinking the truth
is more nuanced
number four no more tears beginning with
a baseline that transitions to a soaring
melodic riff Ozzy’s longest solo song
clocks in at over seven minutes
Zakk Wylde produced a wide array of
excellent tunes including breaking all
the rules
and mr. tinker trains
but it’s the title track to Ozzy’s 1991
album that displays his heavier side
witness the piano themed middle section
that would make the Beatles proud
then follow as it segues to the solo and
one of wilds finest moments
number three diary of a madman watch me
well proof that Randy Rhoads was
classically trained
look no further than the eponymous
closing track of Ozzy’s second solo
album
it’s magical opening is mirrored and
acoustic and electric versions where
it’s intense buildup
and electrifying solo
are all punctuated by Ozzy’s haunting
lyrics
it’s undoubtedly roads and Osbourne’s
most impressive musical collaboration
number two over the mountain
accentuated by roads guitars drummer
lead Kerslake kicks off Ozzy’s second
album with a deafening drum intro after
impressing us with the lake guitarists
soloing skills over the mountain
solidifies its power with the outro riff
in short the track sets the stage for
what many consider to be Aussies
greatest album ever
number one crazy train
containing what’s arguably one of heavy
metals most memorable rips crazy train
is both Ozzy Osbourne’s and Randy Rhoads
signature song
lyrics provide a glimpse into aussie
state of mind while randy solo is
unparalleled
as a concert staple of the Prince of
Darkness the song isn’t just the
greatest
Ozzy track of all time it’s also among
the greatest and heavy metal period
