ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne developed a solo recording career after his work with Black Sabbath. Blizzard of Ozz, released in 1980, introduced Crazy Train and Mr. Crowley, with guitarist Randy Rhoads playing an important part in that album's sound. His solo music combined heavy-metal intensity with melody, theatrical presentation and later power ballads. Ozzfest extended his influence as a concert platform. Solo recordings remain separate from Black Sabbath and explicitly credited guest collaborations.

About this artist collection

This is Ozzy Osbourne's solo identity. Black Sabbath recordings remain with that band; expressly billed Elton John, Jeff Beck and Tony Iommi features keep their full credits. Eligibility is the confirmed retained screenshot credit; this is an optional collection outside the fixed annual priority roster.

First released means the earliest documented official public release of the selected recording. A year-only date does not assert a month or day. Later singles, chart years, compilations, remasters and reissues do not replace that date.
