Your favourite Ozzy solo song
You can only choose one.
Shot in the Dark is my choice. Such a great 80s vibe to it.

Thirded. "Shot in the Dark" rips, though "Bark at the Moon" is a close second for me.

Many hate it, but So Tired. When Ozzy died, he made the news here and the music was: So Tired.

Re: Your favourite Ozzy solo song
Diary Of A Madman. It was a joy to record the cover a few years ago. Going through all the layers in the middle section made me appreciate it even more.
If Ozzy had put out Blizzard of Ozz and the Diary album within a year of each other even without the title track it still would’ve been a hell of a two album run, but that song is a masterpiece unlike any other.

Thank you for taking the bait. But.......it's true. It's my number one and in my conversation of favorite guitar solos from anyone.

Bark at the moon
Shit in the Dark
Mama I’m coming home
Road to nowhere
No more tears
Perry mason
See you on the other side
Tomorrow
Ozzmosis is my favorite album . Doesn’t sound dated at all . Every Ozzy record after 1995 is crap .

probably Bark at the Moon. Close 2nd is Crazy Train. Lowkey underrated favorite is Waiting for Darkness.

Shot in the Dark lol...no!
I'm going with Flying High Again, it's fun, it never gets old, and Randy's solo rips.

Re: Your favourite Ozzy solo song
I like all of the first two solo records equally (except MAYBE No Bone Movies
) but I will go with the first one I heard being played on a boom box by some burnouts smoking weed out beyond the sports field when I was skipping gym once...Flying High Again.

Miracle Man is up there. For nostalgia, we would crank Suicide Solition as kids, we loved it.

Shot in the Dark, but it's hard to pick one.
