      Ozzmosis is my favorite album. Thunder Underground and My Jekyll doesn’t Hyde are awesome too! Ozzy was the one that opened the door to heavy rock and metal for me in middle school.

      I was barely in high school and had just gotten into heavier rock. Before that it was my dad’s rock (a lot of Boston and ZZ Top) and a little grunge because it had EXPLODED the year before on the radio because of Cobain’s death.

      That Ozzy album and Astrocreep 2000 led that shoeless hillbilly boy down the road of heavy metal that continues to this day.

      Perry Mason and I Just Want You were my favorites, but I played that cassette enough to destroy it. Same with Astrocreep. The next year I got a CD player and that changed the whole game.
