Dio happens to be my favorite singer of all time, so that's where I stand on this, I'm curious to see what some of you guys think. By the way, I love Ozzy era Sabbath but I think the three studio albums Dio did with them are absolute masterpieces.
Dio or Ozzy era Sabbath?

I'm with you Triumphant Apostle. Dio Sabbath RULES!! I much prefer Ronnie's vocals to Ozzy's and also much prefer the music from Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules and Dehumanizer to any Ozzy Sabbath record. My gripe about Live Evil is that Dio sang too many Ozzy songs. It was the same on the Dehumanizer tour. Dio should not have been singing War Pigs, Iron Man and Paranoid, just BLACK SABBATH!!!!!

I prefer Dio as a vocalist, but those first few Sabbath records were just so amazingly written and groundbreaking...they blow everything else from the period (and a good chunk of later shit) out of the water. All must bow before Paranoid and Master of Reality.

I prefer Ozzy to Dio, but my favorite Sabbath record was done with Ian Gillan. He has enough versatility in his voice that he can do both Ozzy and Dio songs better than either (his version of Heaven and Hell is MONSTEROUS!!! )

Wise in the ways of metal
It's obvious to everyone that Dio was and is a better singer than Ozzy, and that both of the Dio-era Sabbath albums are of very high quality. However it's the Ozzy-era stuff that is considered classic and with good reason, as it has influnced just about every single metal band in existence. Also, we refer to the early Sabbath albums as the Ozzy-era but that is misleading as he had minimal input into the music or lyrics, not so with Dio who was a very active collaboartor.
