#74 Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy can barely talk, but for some reason, he can sing clearly. After leaving Sabbath, Ozzie launched a comeback that has never really stopped. In the early 80s, “Crazy Train” proved he could make it on his own. Even after the loss of his guitarist Randy Rhodes in a plane crash Ozzy could not be stopped. In 1991, he released “No More Tears” which produced multiple hits. As he approached 60, he became a cuddly TV dad. I thought he was the Prince of Darkness..

Rock n Roll Moment: He never bit the head off a bat, but he did engage in a snort off with Motley Crue. He snorted a line of ants and even his own piss.

Essential Ozzie: Blizzard of Oz (1980), Diary of a Madman (1981), No More Tears (1991)
