Ozzy Osbourne · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

0:33
It's Deprogram, the podcast where we try to get you into an
0:37
artist. That's right.
0:38
We've done all the work for you. All you have to do is press play
0:41
and listen. And you could call me band
0:44
curious. I am very interested in the
0:47
music that my friends are into and we have a very, very, very
0:51
special 1 today, I'll say that. And in doing so, we, we get
0:56
together, they make me listen to this artist and then we talk
1:00
about why it is that they love them and come together to create
1:03
a top 10 starter kit list for to present to you to get you into
1:08
the artist. So today you could say I'm going
1:12
to take a shot in the dark. You could say we're going to be
1:15
barking at the moon. You could say that, you know
1:19
what? Maybe I just don't know.
1:21
We are talking about Ozzy Osbourne, and this is a big one
1:26
for like 8 million different reasons, not the least of which
1:30
because we just lost him. He just, he just passed like at
1:34
this point what, a week, week and a half ago, not long ago.
1:39
So technically speaking, the board initially was Peter and
1:43
Chris, and a couple weeks ago they had the last Black Sabbath
1:50
Ozzy slash Ozzy concert. And Peter, you go, hey, this
1:53
concert just happened. We should do Ozzy.
1:56
Yeah. Yeah.
1:59
I was just kind of like, you know, this is Ozzy's last show
2:02
me. Maybe we should bump this one up
2:04
on the list a little bit, you know?
2:06
And as we started to, like, get prepared for that, we lost him.
2:11
And then we were like, OK, now we've really got to get going on
2:14
this. Yeah.
2:16
So, so talk to me about Ozzy. Like, I mean, because obviously
2:20
you had signed up before, before the last concert before we lost
2:23
him. So talk to me about Ozzy.
2:27
I got into Ozzy when I was like 10 years old.
2:32
I would see him on head on headbangers Ball and I would see
2:36
like the video for like No More Tears and Crazy Train.
2:39
And I'm like who is this guy? He's fucking awesome.
2:43
And then not soon thereafter, like, you know, he would get the
2:46
Beavis and Butthead sealed approval.
2:48
And I'm like, all right, All right.
2:50
Then I went to Black Sabbath, and I was like, oh, shit.
2:54
Like, these guys practically invented heavy metal.
2:57
Yeah. And even with my tastes in and
3:03
music varying over time, Ozzy was always a constant with me.
3:06
Like I was always checking out on what Ozzy was doing.
3:09
Very interesting. And like, I never really lost it
3:13
with him. Like I always stayed in touch
3:15
with him. And I don't, I mean, what else
3:19
can really be said about him that hasn't been said?
3:21
Like in the past two weeks? The guy was an icon.
3:24
Like everyone loved him. Like I haven't heard anybody
3:29
been like, you know, like, oh, fuck that guy.
3:30
Or he's overrated or like he's a well loved musician and he
3:36
contributed so much. And I think at the end of the
3:40
day, he was just also like a really good person in his heart.
3:45
So yeah, Chris, you had signed up for this as well.
3:50
I mean, I don't know if you wanted to tag on on to that, but
3:53
talk to me about Ozzy. I, I was never like a metal guy
4:01
growing up, but something about Ozzy, when he came out, I was
4:07
probably what, 10 or 11 years old?
4:10
And I was my, my theatrical love of theatrical stuff was just
4:21
coming into play. And I found him to be very
4:25
theatrical. His album covers, his videos,
4:29
you know, and like metal stuff like that.
4:34
Again, I was never a big metal, heavy rock guy, but I loved to
4:39
be active with Ozzy and the album covers.
4:42
Like I grew up in a religious house or not like super
4:44
religious like, but I'm like, I had to.
4:47
I bought the tape what Blizzard of Oz and he did, because I
4:52
didn't know my parents would see that because they would be like,
4:55
Oh my God, that's like devil music.
4:57
My dad probably knows, yeah, you probably shouldn't be listening
5:01
to this. So it's kind of like taboo.
5:04
Oh my God, I've got this secret thing that I like.
5:08
So yeah, I always, I always dug Ozzy later in life, listen to
5:13
his Black Sabbath days and whatnot.
5:15
And so yeah, it's a big fan. I love his his his theatrical
5:20
band to his his stuff and just just great music.
5:27
So similarly to what Peter said, Fredo, you kind of jumped in to
5:33
the the bullpen chat and was like, hey, you know, this Ozzy
5:36
concert, we should talk about Ozzy.
5:40
But I also wanted to touch on something Peter just said.
5:43
We, we just did Paul Simon and he said the same thing about
5:48
Ozzy that you said about Paul Simon.
5:49
Like he was just always there. Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy burst his way
6:02
to the front right. He figured when when he left
6:06
Sabbath, he's kicked out of Sabbath.
6:09
Depending on who you who you believe Sabbath came out with
6:15
them. I believe it was the mob rules.
6:18
You know, they came out with heaven and hell 1st and they had
6:22
live evil. Ozzy hadn't put anything out
6:25
yet. Sabbath had kind of moved on
6:29
without Ozzy. And then Ozzy comes out with
6:33
Blizzard of Oz actually was supposed to be a, a, a band that
6:40
Blizzard of Oz was supposed to be Ozzy's new band that ended up
6:42
being Ozzy Osbourne. And the album was called
6:44
Blizzard of Oz. He came out establishing himself
6:52
as as the new king of metal, lack of a better word.
6:58
I mean, a lot of people could have kind of claimed that
7:03
throne, but he did and he never never left.
7:08
He was always there. Kind of like when we talk about
7:10
Paul Simon, he he would release an album every few years and it
7:15
kind of throw out that one or two, you know, songs that would
7:20
make you say, Oh shit, Ozzy, you know, he's still on top of his
7:23
game. But the the thing about Ozzy is
7:27
that unlike a lot of other people in the metal genre who
7:31
feel that they still have to quote UN quote B metal, you had
7:36
Ozzy doing shit like the Osbournes, you know, and then
7:42
doing that that other show he did with his son where they went
7:45
around little towns, you know, learning about history.
7:49
He. Never lost his throne, you know.
7:55
Yeah, and, and, and for a, a heavy metal guy to still to, to
8:04
be able to do ridiculous shit and and, and, and be a parody of
8:08
himself, but still be considered the Prince of darkness.
8:13
You know, I, I think it was amazing.
8:16
He never left our peripheral ever, ever, ever.
8:21
And I would say the more he declined in his health, the more
8:26
he came back to the front and and you see that a university,
8:33
how universally loved he was. I don't know if you guys saw the
8:38
the the funeral procession, you know when they live streamed it.
8:45
Unfortunately not. But to see, Oh my God, it's on
8:50
YouTube, the amount of people pouring out for a quote, UN
8:54
quote heavy metal musician, you know, I mean, again, universally
9:03
loved at Dolly Parton at back to the beginning when they had the
9:07
live stream and they had people, you know, saying congratulations
9:11
to Ozzy. Dolly Parton.
9:12
Did you know, just to me he was an amazing an amazing musician
9:21
and an even more amazing person? It, it's interesting when I
9:28
think, when I think about Ozzy because much like some of the
9:31
things that have been said here today, like I don't, you know,
9:35
other than a brief time where I was metal Justin in the early
9:40
2000s, it was never really my thing.
9:45
And so Sabbath was never really my thing.
9:47
Ozzy was never really my thing. And I saw him at Oz Fest 2000.
9:55
And I guess my point is much like both you, Peter and
10:01
Euphredo said. Like he was just kind of always
10:05
there for me and I never really kind of clocked.
10:09
It. Like in 'cause it was always in
10:12
different ways. We've talked you, you said you
10:14
he got the beeves and butt head seal of approval, Peter.
10:17
You know, that was part of it. You know, like I said, oh, you
10:20
know, beeves and butt head approve of this guy.
10:22
I guess I could be on board. And then I forget which record
10:28
it was on, but at some point, me and my friend Talbert kind of
10:33
glom on to, you know, the Beavis and Butthead style and start
10:39
calling him old, You know, like, so he became the butt of our
10:42
jokes. Yeah.
10:42
I'm not saying it's classy or or funny or anything, but it was
10:46
like it became part of my life. We would joke about my
10:50
grandmother being Ozzy's wife. That's my friend Talbert would
10:55
would call her Ozzy's wife, not Sharon call, call her Ozzy's
10:59
wife. And so we would make up these
11:01
elaborate stories how my Gran would disappear in at at night
11:05
and go like go off with Ozzy to concerts and stuff.
11:08
And I mean, just absolutely stupid jokes.
11:13
And this is before the Osbournes.
11:15
Like this is before, like he opened that door.
11:18
It was just, you know, from seeing videos and just, you
11:23
know, us being idiots. And you know, then he again, I
11:27
see him in 2000 and it was a great concert, even though you
11:32
could tell he can't, he couldn't get around.
11:34
Like this is 25 years ago, guys like Oz Fest 2000 and he
11:39
couldn't get around. And like that became the joke.
11:42
Let me see your fucking hands in the way he would jump.
11:45
And like he's still putting on this show.
11:48
Like when you can tell like it's not easy for him.
11:51
He just wants to he just needs to be out there.
11:56
And I think somewhere in me, I'm doing all these jokes about him,
12:01
but like it's resonating how much he needs to be out there,
12:04
how much he wants to just give back.
12:07
And I think that's what you see here now that he's passed like
12:11
the the universal love coming out for him is all of these
12:16
things that we're talking about. You know, him willing to be the
12:18
butt of the joke, him willing to open the door in that way, him
12:23
wanting to rule like him just being fucking awesome.
12:30
I don't I want to shift gears here to like to the song
12:33
selection here, Peter, as we're we're going through this like I
12:39
know you had a tough time pick picking out 20.
12:41
Like, what are you looking at when you're looking at this
12:44
discography? Fredo and I were talking about
12:49
this a little bit before we started recording.
12:52
He just has so many classics. Like, like, I was tempted to
12:58
just say like, let's just throw out the greatest hits CD and
13:01
just say, you know, there you go, call it a day.
13:05
There's just so many songs that like they're classics for a
13:08
fucking reason. And a lot of them were non
13:13
negotiables for me. So I'm like, OK, I got to cut
13:17
some of these, but this is going to hurt because I mean, damn,
13:24
yeah, this was a this this was a tough one for me.
13:29
But I mean, you look at the songs like these are classics
13:32
for a reason. Yeah.
13:34
So we turned it around relatively quick.
13:37
Chris, I know you, you had mentioned you wish you had a
13:40
little bit more time with Ozzy. Is that just a little bit of
13:45
just re familiarizing yourself or is it just you're enjoying
13:49
yourself? Mostly I was enjoying.
13:53
There's a lot I hadn't heard again, you know, I was, I wasn't
13:58
like a lifelong huge Ozzy fan. I love all of his early stuff.
14:04
I hadn't heard a lot of the newer records and, and I was
14:10
really enjoying it. There's so much great music on
14:13
there. Like yes, there are the big
14:15
classic popular songs of his. I actually, I, I tried to not
14:23
just pick those. So I'm like, there's a lot of
14:25
great music on there that a lot of people just probably have
14:28
never heard before because they've just listened to like
14:33
the greatest hits. So, you know, my list is
14:38
probably going to be vastly different than on some of
14:41
y'all's, but I'm sure a few of them will hit.
14:44
But it was it was a great time. I had a hard time making cuts
14:49
because there was the choice between wow, this song that I
14:53
never heard before. I really, really, really like
14:55
it. But I also like this song that I
14:58
I know and love. Do I keep them both?
15:00
That kind of thing, because it was hard to cut any song.
15:04
Every song was great. My first pass was I think 25.
15:08
It was a lot. It's a lot that's about.
15:13
And those last Yeah, yeah, and, and a lot of it was like new
15:18
stuff. Oh, this is great.
15:20
Let me put this on the list so I can listen to it deeper to the
15:25
side of getting people. So yeah, it was, it was tough
15:30
getting it down to 20. I think it's going to be an
15:34
interesting show. So Fredo, like I, I have a
15:39
feeling that this is another one of those ones where there's 12
15:42
songs right off the bat and then it's just kind of filling,
15:45
filling out the rest. Unless you know I'm mistaken on
15:49
there might be more. No, no, no.
15:51
You're well. I think there was 15 songs that
15:56
were right off the bat me. But, but the thing that about
16:02
Ozzy is the, is the evolution of Ozzy.
16:10
And, and I say, and you know, when I come on a lot of these
16:14
panels, it's always with, you know, younger people.
16:21
I, I, I hate sounding like the old guy, but I am the old guy.
16:25
And it's, it's younger people who are listening to a
16:27
discography that's already established.
16:33
I, you know, Blizzard of Oz was a brand new album followed by
16:39
Diary of a man man brand new album, Park at the Moon brand
16:43
new album. So so it wasn't let me hear you
16:47
know, I I I don't get into Ozzy with with ordinary man, you
16:53
know, his second to last album, I believe it was and and and
16:57
then go, oh shit, this is good. And then go back and hear it.
17:00
I hear it real, real time, you know, and and to hear his
17:08
evolution and with every album, it was the one or two hits that
17:14
just came out and and got you re interested in Ozzy and got you
17:22
and and and and got you to accept the the the changing
17:27
Ozzy, you know. And so to me, those one or two
17:33
songs all popped out and and and it's like, OK, bam, at the end
17:37
of it, I had 15 songs and then I got to do you know, like I you
17:42
know, the songs that mean something to me.
17:46
But yeah, no, this this one was was easy.
17:49
I, I this is a show that I think we could have, we could have
17:53
easily have come up with a top 15 as opposed to a top 10.
17:57
Yeah, for sure. I'm, you know, easy.
18:01
I'm going to. This was interesting for me this
18:05
listen because, you know, first of all, I knew more Ozzy songs
18:09
than I thought, which is again crazy considering he's always
18:14
been there. And I think a lot of the times I
18:18
I just didn't clock, you know, what was happening in real time.
18:22
Like you mentioned, Fredo, I didn't I just didn't clock it.
18:24
Like I'd hear a song, I'd take it in but not go, OK, that's
18:29
Ozzy cool. And then, you know, save that
18:33
file it for later when I'm doing a podcast 25 years later.
18:39
I. I.
18:41
Also, can't lie, I don't think I realized how much Ozzy touched
18:47
my life because I teared up a bunch while going through my
18:51
first pass. And if you would have told me
18:55
that three weeks ago when we first kind of talked about doing
18:58
this, I wouldn't, I would have thought nothing of it.
19:02
You know, like if there's no way that would have happened, you
19:05
know, it might have just been because the recency of it, it
19:08
might have just been, but I think it I think in all reality,
19:12
it's this guy ruled. And I'm so glad that we're going
19:17
to throw some love his way here. Not that he wasn't getting love,
19:21
but like it's high time we do this.
19:25
And it sucks that it comes after we lose him but.
19:30
All. That said, again, I, I, I always
19:33
hesitate to use the word easy like you did Fredo, but it it
19:36
was relatively like because again, I had a bunch of non
19:42
negotiables. I had a bunch of songs come up
19:44
that I was like, Oh yeah, no, duh.
19:46
Like, oh, fuck yeah, that one. Oh, yeah, that one.
19:52
OK. Oh, yeah, that's Ozzy.
19:54
Oh, shit. Like, you'd be shocked how many
19:57
times I said that aloud. Like when I'm, I'm just sitting
20:00
here listening to Ozzy going oh fuck yeah, duh.
20:04
Like, And you know, I even made a change here.
20:09
Like as I was listening just before we went on, like a song
20:12
came up. I was like.
20:14
Why is that not on my list and and dump something something
20:17
out? So I mean, I feel like this is a
20:24
thing where where we could be actually fighting to cut out
20:28
songs. Fredo like I feel like this is
20:31
this is something where we could easily do the 10 It it also
20:35
feels like depending on how cute people are trying to be.
20:40
Peter, based on everything we've said so far, how many do you
20:42
think we get through unanimously?
20:50
I'm always wrong on this, but I'm going to be really
20:53
optimistic here. I'm going to say 8.
20:56
OK, yeah. I mean, it feels like that
21:00
should be doable, but I mean, you know, we'll see.
21:04
Chris, what do you think? I am not that optimistic, but
21:08
that's my fault. Like I said, I made some weird
21:12
choices that I'm I'm sure there's going to be a lot of
21:15
song where you guys were like, oh, this is a unanimous.
21:17
And I was like, yeah, no, I, I, I didn't keep that one.
21:20
I guarantee that's going to happen at least once or twice.
21:25
I'm I'm going to go 5. OK.
21:35
I mean, you know, again, I'm reacting based on what what he's
21:38
saying. So Freda, what do you think?
21:41
Chris is at a 5:00 PM. 8I I well, here's here's what I I
21:47
think you know, as you were talking about Ozzy, I came to
21:50
realize something. Everybody has their Aussie era.
21:57
You know, their Aussie songs like, you know, you guys being
22:02
younger than me, your Aussie songs might be like Mama, I'm
22:06
Coming Home versus Mine, which would be crazy to me based on
22:10
the era when I got into Aussie. So that made me start thinking,
22:18
which I've never done before thinking about.
22:23
The. Age of the guys who I'm in the
22:26
panel with and what's their Aussie song?
22:31
So things that would be obvious to me, not as obvious.
22:37
And then you add Chris's comment that he said earlier, even he
22:41
repeated it when he gave his number.
22:43
But it the minute he said it, it started to play in into my mind
22:48
what I think should be 12 and us arguing about what to take out.
22:55
I think it's going to, it is going to end up being a lot
22:58
lower. So I'm I'm, I'm going to get
23:01
that 12 1/2 and I'm going to say 6.
23:04
OK. All right.
23:06
Still pretty optimistic. I mean I feel like minus Chris's
23:13
statement that 8 is where like there should, there feels like
23:18
there should be 8. Like. 8 was the number I was.
23:21
I was. Looking at 2.
23:23
So like, if you remove, you know what, what Chris has said, now
23:28
you're 6 looks like probably the best bet.
23:32
But I also feel like there's this is one of those things
23:35
where we can stumble into two extras.
23:37
So I'm going to go with 7. I'm going to.
23:40
I'm going to go with 7 because eight's off the table.
23:43
Yeah, I'm going to go with 7. Yeah, I'm not usually the
23:46
pessimist there. You.
23:48
Go, I mean. You.
23:51
You're the one that can see your list, so like so I can't see
23:58
which ones you're considering the ones that should be in, but
24:02
you're going to be the the odd man out on.
24:04
So I guess we're about to find out.
24:08
We're going to take a quick break and on the other side of
24:10
it, we are going to play the game Mr. Programmed.
24:20
And with that, the name of the game is deprogrammed.
24:22
The four of us have come through the Ozzy Osbourne discography
24:25
and plucked out 20 songs that are now going to mash together
24:27
in an attempt to create a top ten sort of kit for you, in case
24:30
you have never given Ozzy Osbourne the time of day.
24:35
And look, man, there's nowhere else for me to start.
24:37
And I know like kind of Fredo has kind of put it out there
24:40
that that that statement could be different for each one of us.
24:45
But combine all the things from this song, if we don't start
24:51
here, this should be a Homer and I'm I hope to God this is not
24:54
one of the ones that Chris was being cute about.
24:57
But like it's one of the coolest riffs in rock history.
25:02
It is just a great song and it just fucking rules.
25:07
Crazy train of. Course.
25:10
Oh yeah. Yes.
25:12
Of course. OK.
25:12
Good. Yeah, like don't be.
25:15
Don't be too cute. No, that's that's what got me
25:19
in. That's the song that's on the
25:20
end. I got everybody in, yeah.
25:24
Yeah, it's it is undeniably one of the coolest songs, period.
25:29
It is arguably the coolest rock riff in in history.
25:34
I you know, Ozzy rules on it. Like the vocals are fun.
25:39
Like it it's it's a fun song too.
25:44
Like, it's just fun. Like it, it rules, man.
25:47
It just fucking rules. You know what it it, it's that
25:51
beginning. Yeah, all of it.
25:56
I, I, you know, it's even. Before that, it draws you in.
26:01
Even before that, the All aboard.
26:04
Like all of it, like all of it. Every little bit of this song is
26:09
cool. And then that riff comes in and
26:12
then it, you know, speeds up the Dant dant, dant dant, and then
26:17
Ozzy comes. It's just it's just cool, man,
26:20
Like it just rules. All right, crazy train on
26:26
through. I'm glad that is not one of the
26:28
ones, because boy, oh boy would there be a riot.
26:33
All right, Peter I. Mean, Speaking of guitar
26:40
playing, like starting with Randy Rhodes, who's like one of
26:44
like the all time greats, like even after he passed away, Ozzy
26:51
always had really good guitar players working in his band and
26:55
he just always attracted like the best talent in the business.
27:00
But I'm going to stick with Blizzard of Oz and I think the
27:04
song might appeal to Chris's preference for theatricality.
27:09
I'm going to go with a Mr. Crowley.
27:12
Yes, yeah. I got that, yeah.
27:15
Yeah, of course you do, Mr. You know what's funny is there was
27:22
AI can't remember if she did weather or traffic here, but
27:26
there was a there was a somebody on news Channel 3 here.
27:29
Her name was Kristen Crowley, and one time somebody created
27:35
Crass and Crowley like this and they played it on the on the
27:41
show for us. Is it?
27:42
Raining outside. But the I mean, this is another
27:47
song that like was an immediate yeah, you know, like I I had
27:52
somehow forgotten about it, but the second it started playing I
27:55
was like, oh fuck yeah, duh, like no shit.
27:58
The. Guitar solo, like, I mean, come
27:59
on, like that's so good. Oh, there's.
28:02
Yeah, there's a million of like really great guitar solos that
28:06
so many that I'm not going to remember, but yes, yes, All
28:11
right. 2 for two, No pressure Chris all.
28:17
Right, I don't know you, you said it earlier.
28:19
Let's see if we can keep it going.
28:21
One of my all time favourites. Part of the moon.
28:24
Yeah, I got it. Yep.
28:27
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
28:31
I I I didn't go completely off the rails on this crazy thing.
28:37
I see what you did there. I.
28:39
Acknowledge. I acknowledge that's.
28:42
It. That's it.
28:43
That's a great video too. This is like this is a song, an
28:50
Aussie song that I knew that I didn't know, you know, like I
28:53
didn't know that I knew. Yeah.
28:58
All right. Boom, 3 for three Fredo I'm.
29:04
I'm debating whether I should go with what I think will make it 4
29:08
for four or I should get the one song out and, and get it over
29:13
with. And I think I, I think there's
29:17
enough there that we can go back to it later.
29:20
I'm going to, I'm going to put this one out and just get it
29:25
over with. It's not going to make the list.
29:27
I added it onto the list late because I I realized that he he
29:34
guessed vocals on it. But I'll be damned if you if if
29:38
you don't ask the casual person, they don't think this is an
29:41
Aussie song. It was his highest charting hit
29:46
on the Billboard Top 100 it, but it was off of Lita Ford's album
29:51
self-titled Lita and it's close Your Eyes Forever.
29:56
I do not have it. I I didn't know we included it.
30:02
No, no, I don't know. I might I may have picked it.
30:06
It. Is a great song, but the
30:09
argument can go either way. Yeah, I, I didn't think anybody
30:14
would have it. I just thought it was something
30:15
that needed to be mentioned. And I can guarantee you a lot of
30:20
your listeners who are casual listeners or who are not metal
30:24
people know that song will be surprised that that's not an
30:28
Ozzy song. I remember when Beavis and
30:31
Butthead watched the video for that and Ozzy Ozzy's park comes
30:36
in and Butthead goes Why is Ozzy whining?
30:47
God. I love those two.
30:48
You know, that that song, that song really did show a different
30:52
side to Ozzy. Yeah.
30:54
I mean. He he could do ballots just as
30:56
well as like metal shit like. Well, that was later on his in
31:01
his career and I'm sure we'll we'll start mentioning some of
31:03
those songs. You know, it was more the IT was
31:06
more the metal ballad that that he put out, you know, and we saw
31:10
it. We saw it from from the from the
31:15
concert today as people are still doing memorials.
31:19
It's, it's, it's all the ballads that they keep playing behind
31:22
this videos of showing him, you know, and and and and and talk
31:27
about stocking emotions. I mean, jeez.
31:33
I'm going to play a song here because you, you just said talk
31:37
about stocking emotions. And this song didn't stoke
31:42
emotions, but it it, it mentions an emotion or something that
31:47
happens from emotions, I should say.
31:50
But it's a, a song I'd forgotten that I I liked.
31:54
I liked when I heard it the first time and it just kind of
31:56
went away. And when it came up, I was like,
31:59
oh, fuck yeah. This one feels like it could be
32:05
one that that we get through. But this one feels like also,
32:09
maybe it's one of the ones that Chris is cute about.
32:11
We'll see. No more tears.
32:15
Oh yeah. I'm trying to take one album
32:20
that's off of. No more tears, no?
32:22
I sure got it. Oh, no.
32:29
OK, all right, I'll have it. All right.
32:32
We'll take the two there. Holy shit, no more tears.
32:37
Turn in. Turn in I'm.
32:40
I'm shocked. I I'm shocked.
32:42
I don't have it. Oh my God.
32:44
That song was my entry point. And Ozzy.
32:47
OK, yeah, no, that makes sense. I I.
32:51
I kind of tell you, I think, you know, I, I, I make a rough list
32:54
and then I transferred it to the book.
32:57
I I think that was that was the one that I I couldn't find when
33:01
I was transferring it into a book.
33:03
It's also an interesting song where like like the middle just
33:07
kind of changes into a completely different song where
33:09
it's like almost like a little bit of like prog rock.
33:12
And then? It comes back with the solo and
33:17
it's an interesting song in this catalog for.
33:19
Sure. How many did that?
33:21
How many did that get? 3.
33:23
It's two. It's. 2 Just me and Peter. 2 All
33:28
right, Peter, it should. Have gotten 3.
33:34
All right, Speaking of ballads, this one has been getting a lot
33:42
of play. And it's also, it's also because
33:47
it hits a lot differently now because of the lyrics.
33:52
And it's Mama, I'm coming home. Yeah.
33:55
Man. Oh yeah, yeah.
33:58
Yeah, this one kind of had to be for, I mean #1 it, let's start
34:05
with it is really just a great song.
34:08
But it does hit different now. And, like, you see a lot of
34:12
people covering it and doing really good covers of it.
34:15
And, you know, we talked about, you know, seeing another side of
34:21
Ozzy and, you know, I think what's crazy.
34:27
Is that Lemmy wrote that song that.
34:29
Is nuts. Yeah.
34:33
It just hearing it, you know, this is, I mean, you know,
34:38
obviously you don't forget that this is Ozzy and, you know, so
34:44
it it didn't have that going for it, but when it came up, I just
34:48
kind of got chills and kind of was like, oh shit, yeah, man.
34:54
Like in it, you know, it just it, it felt different.
34:57
And yeah, it's just, it really is just a gorgeous song, too.
35:01
So. Yeah.
35:02
All right. Yeah.
35:04
Even if he hadn't thought that was making, that was a great.
35:06
That's an amazing thing, yeah. All right, boom.
35:09
Just like that. Four.
35:17
Chris, no, let's not get into it yet.
35:21
Let's do this one. Really, really, really.
35:25
I had not heard it before and you know, being a dad now and
35:29
also, you know, always missing my dad, he passed away several
35:33
years ago now, my little man. Oh.
35:40
No, but that's a good song. No.
35:44
I don't have that one. Wow.
35:46
OK. That was on Osmosis.
35:49
I didn't expect you to go in the bed.
35:51
Wow, heartless bastards. Well, yeah, I'll say all right.
36:03
Fredo, Emma. I'm going to go with this one.
36:10
Speaking of Lemmy, it's the song off of Offered No More Tears.
36:17
You still can't Believe I don't have that fucking song on here.
36:21
But but he ended up doing a remake and it came out as a
36:25
single of this song with Lemmy. It's hell raiser no.
36:33
That was a very, very late cut for me.
36:37
No, that's a great song. Not another.
36:42
Rhythm, Oh. OK.
36:44
That's enough with the cuteness. I got to start coming back with
36:46
the hits. I'm over 2.
36:51
Like like I I got 2/2 of the three songs that are in the bin
36:55
of mine. Well, let's see if I can
36:59
contribute to to the bin or if I can, I can get get another one
37:05
in here into the combo. At least.
37:08
What I love about this song is the familiarity of it that I had
37:14
immediately and it does the thing.
37:17
I didn't lead with it because with Ozzy, you don't need to do
37:19
the thing. You can.
37:21
You can come back to that later. But hold on.
37:24
That's why I'm doing it. I don't know.
37:28
Oh. Yeah.
37:28
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yes.
37:33
Yeah. OK.
37:37
Yeah, that was a that was a song that introduced me to Ozzy.
37:42
See, that makes sense. Well, and that's what I'm
37:44
saying. Like it does the thing like if
37:46
that's your introduction, of course you're going to be in
37:49
like it rules like, you know, I I like it slightly more than
37:56
crazy train, but what crazy train has is like the the the
37:59
cool thing, like the the Rif and the rest of the rest of the
38:04
crazy train is better, but like. If.
38:08
We're just trying to get somebody in the door.
38:11
I don't know. I think I like, I don't know
38:13
better. All right.
38:18
Just like that, we're at 5:00. So we're.
38:21
At Chris's five with plenty of room to go where you want to go,
38:25
Peter. I think.
38:28
I'm going to take a turn being cute here.
38:32
So we skipped over most of his 2000s and 2000 tens albums, but
38:37
we did include his what turned out to be his final two albums
38:41
in our in our playlist. And for an artist that late in
38:45
his career, like he put out two really, really good albums, like
38:53
I, I guess because like. He.
38:56
He couldn't tour or whatever, like he had more time to work on
38:59
it or whatever the reason. But I'm going to play something
39:03
from Ordinary Man and it's become at least a top 20 song
39:09
for me. It's under the graveyard.
39:13
No, no, no. That that.
39:17
That was honestly a late cut for me.
39:21
Yeah, I knew it was my turn to be cute.
39:24
No, but you know what? If you were cute in the right
39:27
way. Not like me with hell Raiser was
39:30
like what? I, I just want to echo the point
39:35
because I do have a few from those last two records, like
39:38
they're way better than they have any right being really like
39:42
it. It's just, it's hard to balance
39:45
that against, you know, his earlier work, Like his early
39:49
work is just just holy shit, so well.
39:54
You know, my first pass is my first pass.
40:01
I had a lot off of those two records.
40:03
Yeah, same and. I I also cut a lot just because
40:07
I'm like, well, you know, the old stuff is amazing.
40:13
Here's, here's the thing though. Those old records have stood the
40:16
test of time, right? That's where it's unfair to
40:19
judge the new stuff, the new, the new stuff is great now, but
40:24
we still say it's great in 10 years.
40:27
And we said the same thing with Paul Simon, right?
40:29
Right. When we did that as I'm, I'm
40:31
seeing a lot of similar elements.
40:33
Totally. Between.
40:34
Paul Simon and and and Ozzy Yavvoy.
40:36
Who'd have guessed right? Yeah, but it it's so the the.
40:42
But to. Peter's point where he couldn't
40:45
tour so he didn't have to rush these albums, you know, he could
40:52
take his time and he could record something and go, Nah,
40:54
that's garbage No, this is good. This would have put this in and
40:58
he had a lot of guests on these last two albums.
41:00
Also for. Sure, people, you.
41:02
Wouldn't you? You wouldn't expect, you know,
41:05
Elton John and and and and Post Malone and and, you know, it's
41:11
so it's he had the time and, and, and again, you know,
41:16
putting these, this quality of music out this late in his
41:20
career. If he was to do a tour today, he
41:24
was still alive. He could play stuff off of
41:27
patient #9 which was his last album.
41:31
And people would be singing. Yeah.
41:33
And people would be rocking out. It wouldn't be.
41:35
OK, let's go to the bathroom. Let's go get a hopped on it.
41:39
Totally. All right, Chris.
41:54
Oh shit, all right, I swung and missed on that last one.
41:59
I thought something might, not that one, but I'm going to keep
42:01
doing stupid songs that probably nobody has.
42:05
Spiders. Nope.
42:10
Nah. Yeah.
42:11
Yeah, it's going to be a lot of that.
42:15
I told you I went off. I don't want to do the off the
42:18
rails again Joe. Yeah, yeah.
42:21
All right. OK, Fredo.
42:25
I'm, I'm going to go something off Diary of a Madman.
42:29
And I remember hearing this on the radio and the song came out
42:34
and there was something about that beginning where it was
42:37
like, it's, it's just you hear like a couple of notes playing
42:42
and then, you know, he's saying, Oh no, Oh no, here we go now.
42:49
And it's just like, it's like eases you into it, you know, And
42:53
it's flying high again. Yeah, yeah, I got.
42:57
That. I got it, but that wasn't on No
43:01
Rest for the Wicked. That was on Diary of a Madman.
43:04
No that. Was on Diary of a Madman.
43:05
Yeah, that's what I said. I thought you.
43:07
Said no rest my bad, I've got it.
43:11
You know what's funny is I told you I added a song right before
43:15
we went on. That was the one that.
43:18
Was. That was there you go.
43:20
Yeah. I it.
43:21
Just I it's a song that that that get it gets you ready for
43:27
it. You know that beginning of his
43:32
again that honor. Yeah, here.
43:35
We go. It's getting you ready for the
43:37
song. Yeah, and then and.
43:40
And, and I and I just really enjoyed that man.
43:43
What did it for me when I was listening to it beforehand was
43:46
isn't it? I've been a bad, bad boy.
43:51
I was like, oh, yeah, flying high again.
43:56
Like all of it. It's yeah.
43:59
It's just cool. Like, it's just fun.
44:01
Like, again. Yeah, Mama's going to worry.
44:05
I've been a bad, bad boy. Yeah.
44:08
Like, I was like, why is this not on my list?
44:11
I what did I what have I done wrong here?
44:15
So, yeah, boom. There we go.
44:20
And right now we're at Fredo 6. So we're back around in the past
44:26
six. We're back around to me.
44:29
Maybe I'll I'll do one of my me and Talbert bits.
44:35
I couldn't get away from the nostalgia of this song, so I
44:39
understand if this one is isn't an automatic.
44:42
I don't know where this sits in the lexicon of Ozzy's work.
44:45
It was a so a single off of Osmosis and I remember
44:51
absolutely hating this song at the time.
44:54
And again, the joke with me and Talbert was always oh, he's old.
44:59
So the song is I just want you. So we would go I just want you
45:08
to call 911. Fuck you.
45:14
Stupid. Yes, I just want you is is my
45:19
pick. I've got it.
45:22
Hey. Not.
45:24
The bin, I like that. I'll take the IT doesn't really
45:26
stand a chance, I don't think, but the fact that it's not going
45:30
to go right into the bin makes me happy.
45:33
How? How funny is that, that he
45:37
wasn't that old and you already have him as the old man, right?
45:40
Right at that point, you know, it's just crazy and mid. 30s
45:46
maybe? This is let's see where did.
45:50
I mean, I don't remember when Osmosis came out, but I was
45:54
still in high school. So somewhere between 94 and 98
45:57
that comes out and then I see him in concert 2 years later.
46:03
So I think he was. Somewhere in his 40s, yeah.
46:06
Yeah, it's probably, I was going to say, it's that late.
46:07
Yes, in his 40s. So it, it, it is just crazy.
46:11
It, you know, just ridiculously stupid as well.
46:14
So you're. As old as you were, as he was
46:18
when you're calling him the yes. Exactly.
46:23
I mean, you know, to be fair, I am.
46:25
I am an old man. So.
46:27
All right, Peter, shut up. All right, so this song, like he
46:34
recorded it, it came out as a single and then he didn't really
46:38
like it for a while and he wouldn't play it at shows.
46:40
I think it's because there's a lot of keyboards on it and it's
46:44
a little bit more pop than as usual stuff.
46:47
But eventually he came back around it, around it to again
46:50
and started playing it live again and it's a shot in the
46:53
dark. Yeah, I got it.
46:55
Yes. No, I'm sorry.
47:03
No, All right. We'll take a three.
47:06
Yeah, is that? Our first three that.
47:08
Is our first three, it's it's all been in bin and then there
47:13
was 2. Twos.
47:15
Yeah, yeah, All right. Shot in the Dark gets a three
47:20
Chris. How about this song?
47:25
That's who. Dancer.
47:29
What was it? Tattooed dancer.
47:36
If I don't understand, it's not on my list.
47:40
Tattooed dancer. There it is.
47:43
No. Oh, Tattooed dancer.
47:44
OK, I'm presuming Peter can't save you because he's not.
47:52
Oh, I saw. I I I said no.
47:53
Oh, OK. Yeah, I didn't hear that.
47:56
See, this is what I was worried about.
47:58
All right, Fredo. I'm going to go with with with
48:05
the song that over the last two weeks, this is of all the songs
48:13
that have been played that have been played since I saw the con
48:16
and I saw all 10 hours of the active beginning concert.
48:19
The live stream Hailstorm did a cover of this and it brought it
48:25
back into my, you know, right, right in in my front sight.
48:31
And I have not stopped playing. I've played the song.
48:34
I've probably averaged five times a day since that concert.
48:39
Oh my. I just love.
48:40
I love the video. I, I, I love.
48:44
And it's a latest song to boot. It's Perry Mason.
48:50
I've got it. I do know that was one of my
48:54
later thoughts, but no, I don't. What about you, Justin?
49:00
I. Do not have that.
49:01
That's a 2 though. I like the intro to that song
49:05
where like, yeah. Exactly.
49:14
I love his. I love the way his voice sounds
49:17
on that. He's got like a tinge of echo or
49:19
something. I don't know what it is but it's
49:22
Ozzy's voice. But they're just something in
49:25
the production. It just makes that his voice
49:29
stand out more Ozzy ish if that makes sense.
49:33
Well, he's got a really unique voice for it.
49:35
Like when you hear him, you know it's Ozzy.
49:37
Totally. Yes, absolutely.
49:40
Yeah, 100%. But but this was extra Ozzy.
49:44
This was Ozzy with a side of Ozzy.
49:46
I mean, it was just, I just, I don't know what it is, but his
49:49
voice just pops out on that song.
49:54
All right, so we're back around to me and I think I'm out of
50:00
ones that feel like could be homers.
50:04
So I'm going to trot out a patient number 91.
50:06
I'll I'll be cute here again. I I really enjoyed those two
50:12
records. Ordinary man patient number 9.
50:13
I really did and much like what Chris said, I, I had a lot on my
50:17
first pass, but it's, it's unfair and hard to weigh that
50:23
against what what happened earlier in his career.
50:28
So like ultimately the way I, the way I needed out picks was,
50:35
hey, everything before Ordinary man gets a little bit more than
50:39
these last couple. So I like I said, I got one off
50:44
of patient #9 how about Immortal with Mike McCready?
50:50
No, but that's a good song. No, but that, yeah, that was a
50:53
good song. I I thought.
50:55
He did that song with Hulk Holder.
50:59
Well, they're both immortal now. I just I do think it was neat
51:04
that, you know, Mike Mccree, like, like you said, like, you
51:08
know, a lot of times the guitarist that come on makes
51:11
sense and then it's like a guy from Pearl Jam, OK, like that's
51:16
interesting. Like I didn't see that coming
51:19
and. Mike Michael Mccrady is the
51:22
metal guy in Pearl Jam. Well, I guess that makes sense.
51:25
Here's well, here's the one thing you got to, you got to
51:28
think about what when Randy Rhodes died, the guitarist who
51:31
took his place was the guitarist from Night Ranger, Brad Gills.
51:37
And, and in, in the, in the pantheon of, of metal guitarist,
51:42
nobody's going to throw Brad, Brad Gills up and up there,
51:46
especially when he had, you know, Randy and Jakey Lee and
51:50
Zack Wylde. But this was the guy that Ozzy
51:53
said, you know, within a week he was able to to go out there and,
52:01
and represent the songs that that and, and, and the, the poor
52:06
guy you're Jason Newstead in Metallica after, after what's
52:14
his name died after? Why can't I think of his Cliff
52:17
name, the bass Cliff Burton after Cliff died, Jason Newson
52:20
came in there did a hell of a job.
52:22
But you know what he was he, he wasn't Cliff Burton.
52:25
So people are like, fuck, here's Brad doing the same thing with
52:29
Randy Rhodes going in there and, and, and just he, he went on
52:34
that tour with someone and people love them for as much as
52:39
they were going to considering how universally loved roads
52:43
were. But the point being that Ozzy
52:48
recognized guitarist talent totally.
52:52
And, and, and and would pick it out regardless of what people
52:56
would think. Yeah.
52:58
I I think you just hit on something like regardless of
53:01
what people would think is is a great thing to extrapolate from
53:06
just Ozzy's discography. Ozzy the the man.
53:09
I think you know, I maybe there might be more to that at a later
53:12
point, but immortal, unfortunately, will be immortal
53:16
in the bin by itself being me, the only person who picked it.
53:21
Peter, where do you want to go? So.
53:27
When we start, when we started this before he passed away, I
53:31
didn't intend on having this on my list.
53:34
Like I like the song, but I was like, yeah, I could leave this
53:37
one off. But after he passed away, the
53:44
lyrics hit a lot differently now and I picked.
53:51
The. Title track or ordinary man.
53:54
And the chorus is yes, I've been a bad guy, been higher than the
53:58
blue sky. The truth is I don't want to die
54:01
an ordinary man. I've made Mama cry.
54:04
Don't know why I'm still alive. The truth is I don't want to die
54:07
an ordinary man and that just have that it made me feel so sad
54:14
and. Yeah, no, I I had to put that
54:19
one that that that made me feel perspective.
54:23
And. Elton John is there of all
54:25
people, yeah. Yeah, being said, no.
54:31
The same that was a. Very late talk.
54:36
I think it's safe to say you did not die an ordinary man, Ozzy.
54:39
I think, I think that's, it's pretty that's.
54:42
Another statement, right? Right.
54:45
Well. He, he was.
54:47
Always very humble, like everyone considered him the
54:50
king, but like I don't think he ever thought of himself like
54:53
that. Like he was always trying to be
54:55
a people pleaser. He never took things for
54:58
granted. And like, the whole final
55:01
concert was like a way of him giving back to his fans for like
55:05
everything that for all the success that he's had and.
55:14
Also literally giving back. They raised money for charity
55:17
with that event, Yeah. It's the highest grossing
55:20
charity concert of all time. So yeah, like every.
55:24
Penny. Every penny, Yeah.
55:27
Like. They beat out fucking Live Aid
55:29
like. I at A at a time like this too,
55:32
like I, I want to point this out too.
55:35
Like it, it went so well and people were so, you know, so
55:41
wanted to share the like Billy Corgan went on a show, you know,
55:46
a couple days later and said we should do that every year in
55:50
Ozzy's name, Like we should do that.
55:52
Just get Rock together like that.
55:56
That day showed what Rock can do when we're all pointed in in the
55:59
same direction, I believe was his exact quote.
56:02
And he's like, we should do that in his name because I think he
56:06
would love that. And it's just.
56:10
It'll never happen, probably. Not, but you never know it
56:12
won't. It'll get commercialized.
56:15
It'll get commercialized. Look at Woodstock, Yeah.
56:17
Fair enough. Yeah.
56:19
You know, it'll be somebody who who decided that they could make
56:24
money off of it and then it it. Gets bastardized.
56:28
Well. Sharon said that she cut one of
56:31
the bands from the lineup because one of the bands was
56:33
actually was actually ask asking to be paid for the month.
56:38
Yeah, whereas like everyone else was trying.
56:41
To find out who it is. Yeah.
56:43
And everyone else was like, yeah, we'll show up free, you
56:46
know, we'll do it for him. Yeah, it's fucking Aussie.
56:50
All right, well, I mean, I feel like there's more to this
56:52
conversation. This will be a good point for me
56:54
to say patreon.com/oh, hi, Justin is a good place to get in
56:57
for the after the fact later. All right, so order name Anne is
57:03
Peter Chris. Let's see, let's let's go
57:10
something earlier. Oh fuck it, it's too Diary of
57:12
Man. Yeah.
57:15
I got it. Nope.
57:20
OK, we'll take that 3. That's an interesting three.
57:26
Yeah, but all right, Fredo, I'll.
57:34
Go. I'll go with the with the song
57:36
that I took off that album in place of Diary of a Madman and
57:43
It's Over the Mountain, yes. That's what I'm looking at.
57:46
I got that. Yeah, that's another four, Yeah.
57:50
Yeah. You damn right.
57:51
I mean that, that again, that that guitar beginning, Yeah.
58:00
Again, you know, I hate repeating myself so much on
58:03
these, but that's a song that I knew that I, I didn't know that
58:06
I knew He's just always there, man.
58:11
He was just always there and I didn't.
58:14
I didn't even know it. And that puts us at my 7:00.
58:21
With with. A reasonable amount of of I mean
58:26
play left. I don't know how yeah, I don't
58:29
know how how likely it is for another another one to get
58:34
through, but I think I still have like 6 or 7 songs.
58:40
Let's see, I already did this 11234 That one's already in
58:45
today. That one was a three.
58:50
No, that one was a four. Already.
58:53
Did that 112? All right, we're back to me.
59:05
I. Don't know about these ones.
59:10
Let me go back to let me go back to bark at the moon.
59:23
How about waiting for darkness? All.
59:34
Right, Yeah, I feel like I might be in my my last gasps of all
59:42
right, Peter. This song got him in a lot of
59:48
trouble at the time, but for stupid reasons going back to
59:54
Blizzard, it's a suicide solution.
1:00:02
No, I don't have it either. No, I did not keep it for the
1:00:06
sworn. I read but I didn't.
1:00:09
Honestly. I was listening to it again just
1:00:14
before we went on, and I thought about making room for it.
1:00:19
In part I'm glad I didn't because, you know, then I came
1:00:22
around to flying high again and I was like, well, that, that's
1:00:24
got to be on there. All.
1:00:29
Right, Chris? Oh, this one's a banger.
1:00:32
Slow down. Yes, Dang it, I should have went
1:00:35
with that one last. Let's go.
1:00:38
Nah. Brief song.
1:00:41
Oh, I'm happy. That's not going in the bin.
1:00:42
That was the other one I was looking at on my last path or my
1:00:46
last turn. All.
1:00:49
Right. Fredo, OH.
1:00:53
I got to tell you what I've been noticing and and I really like
1:00:57
them. Is.
1:00:59
The songs that we think are universal, but I I really like
1:01:02
the fact that there's a lot of just one offs like, you know,
1:01:07
hit, you know, OK, I'm going to say this song and nobody else
1:01:11
got it because it shows the diversity and and not only his
1:01:17
catalog, but in in how it hit different people, right.
1:01:24
You. Know so I, I, I, I'm, I'm I'm
1:01:29
really digging that. That being said, I want to put
1:01:33
Peter in a in a in a better position.
1:01:39
I'm going to go with out of track from his last album,
1:01:44
Patient number 9. I think it needs to be
1:01:45
represented. I think it's a great fucking
1:01:47
song. It was one of my absolute last
1:01:51
cuts. Yeah, there's one of mine too.
1:02:00
Oh my God. I think those are going to the
1:02:02
see the problem is like it's going to be hard to find people
1:02:05
on on those because again, it's just I chose very sparingly from
1:02:11
those two records. Well, I I got it.
1:02:16
But by the same token, I think much to what Peter was saying
1:02:19
before, and I agree with him, put out the quality that he did
1:02:26
in those last two albums. I don't want I I really didn't
1:02:29
want this list to be, you know, old Ozzy and everybody go.
1:02:34
Oh my God. Yeah, old, you know, right.
1:02:36
Oh. God.
1:02:37
Crazy Train, Oh yeah, Bark at the Moon, I want I Wanted you
1:02:40
know, and and again, both the title tracks in both those last
1:02:44
albums. Are.
1:02:46
Are amazing and they show up that Ozzy still hauled Ozzy was
1:02:51
still Ozzy yeah to when he died. Yeah, well, also, but it.
1:02:58
Doesn't look like that's going to happen.
1:03:00
Maybe. Not I'll play your game, you
1:03:01
rogue. Let's see that one was a two.
1:03:05
That one was in How? How about off of ordinary man
1:03:13
Eat me? No.
1:03:20
Nope. That song had Chris written all
1:03:24
over it. All right?
1:03:29
So eat me into the bin, all right?
1:03:33
Peter, I don't. Think we've we've touched this
1:03:39
album yet? What?
1:03:42
About a miracle man from no rest for the wicked.
1:03:49
I'm. Glad it gets a 2 at least.
1:03:55
That was one I've got a couple times as an answer and I didn't
1:04:00
get a chance to get back around to see if I should make room for
1:04:03
it. So.
1:04:06
Yeah, you, you should have. That's a great song judging.
1:04:12
By some of my two my or my bins then yes I should have.
1:04:18
I. Think the ultimate sin and the
1:04:20
and the rest for the wicked are the kind of like the two
1:04:23
redheaded stepchilds in his first 15 years or so.
1:04:27
Yeah, I I liked both of the records, but like they, they, it
1:04:31
feels like other than what Shot in the Dark, like it, it felt
1:04:35
like most of them they they lacked that thing that that that
1:04:42
magnet thing that really drew me to it.
1:04:45
So again. And.
1:04:47
I like both of them. I have stuff from both of them.
1:04:49
Music. Music was changing.
1:04:52
Yeah, music was changing at that point.
1:04:55
We're really starting to get into the grunge era.
1:04:58
Oh, at that point, you know, you're talking late, late 80s,
1:05:01
early 90's. The fact that he was still
1:05:04
putting anything out that anybody was listening to at that
1:05:06
point was, was good, you know. So yeah, it doesn't surprise me
1:05:14
that just the overall feel of those albums weren't up to snuff
1:05:20
from the the earlier stuff, even though, again, great stuff on
1:05:24
both those albums. All right, Chris.
1:05:32
How about ghosts behind their? No.
1:05:43
No, yeah. I can't even find it.
1:05:52
There it is. All right, Fredo.
1:06:05
Where do I go? Offer no more tears, Mr. Tinker
1:06:10
Tree. No.
1:06:12
OK. That was a late cut for me.
1:06:19
All right, to me, that sounds like you know.
1:06:22
What I'm glad it made it to a late cut.
1:06:28
Sounds like to me we are at a dump out point because I think I
1:06:32
only have like 4 or five left anyway.
1:06:34
So let me just shift this around and I'll start at my top.
1:06:41
I don't know if we have any Homer's in here, but we'll see.
1:06:46
I already did that one, right? Yes I did off of ultimate sin
1:06:51
title track the ultimate sin. No, no, All right.
1:07:01
Moving on to No Rest for the Wicked, how about Devil's
1:07:03
daughter, Holy War? Yeah, no take.
1:07:09
It to there same record? How about bloodbath and
1:07:14
paradise? Now moving.
1:07:25
On to osmosis. See you on the other side.
1:07:31
Yeah, no, that was the another 3 like.
1:07:36
No. Take a 2 there and last but not
1:07:42
least off of ordinary man, straight to hell.
1:07:48
Nope, late. Cut OK.
1:07:53
Wow, I'm going to win. I got to start eyeballing, hey.
1:07:57
I'm on. I got to do.
1:07:59
I got to do the thing. Oh, OK, hold on.
1:08:04
I'll be right back, all right. All right, Peter, you can make
1:08:14
this conversation a little bit harder with your dump out.
1:08:20
I only have two left, so I I have You can't kill Rock'n'roll.
1:08:26
That one was like, Yep, hey. Hey.
1:08:31
That one was like #23 I don't think so.
1:08:35
Did you get? Did you have it, Chris?
1:08:37
I I did not OK. That one was like super duper
1:08:40
late, like 2324, right? It was somewhere around there,
1:08:46
you know, it almost made it. I.
1:08:49
Don't. I don't remember if it was a
1:08:50
single or not, but I remember hearing it on the radio a lot
1:08:53
when I was younger. Yeah, but.
1:08:58
My last one is from No more Tears and it's desire.
1:09:01
Nope. Nope.
1:09:06
All right, Desire. All right, Chris.
1:09:12
All right, Start. Stop.
1:09:16
Revelation. Mother Earth.
1:09:24
I'm guessing that's a no from Fredo.
1:09:25
I'm. Silence is a no, I'm guessing.
1:09:31
Wait. Where is that?
1:09:33
I'm Blizzard of Oz. Yeah, means I.
1:09:38
Scrolled by it a bunch. There it is, all right.
1:09:42
OK, how about thank God for the bomb?
1:09:46
Yep, hey, that was pretty late for me.
1:09:51
If you wouldn't. Mind saying the record if you
1:09:53
know it? There it is.
1:09:55
Oh. Ultimate send, yeah.
1:09:57
You always say yeah, say the record.
1:10:00
Well, I don't know all the records.
1:10:02
That's my. See that?
1:10:04
See, I whenever I write, whenever I write my list, I
1:10:07
write the song and I write the album because it makes it easier
1:10:09
to. Find.
1:10:11
All I'm lazy. I didn't like.
1:10:12
I don't know that, yeah. I get.
1:10:15
That I thought you wrote Killer of John.
1:10:17
Killer of John. No no.
1:10:28
Scary little Green Man. Love that song.
1:10:34
That song rolls but. Yeah, all.
1:10:38
Right. And then I got some rhymes here,
1:10:41
degradation rules and dark side Blues that.
1:10:49
Was a really good one on my. Last two might be the most ones
1:10:54
I've ever had on my list. That's a lot.
1:10:58
All right, Fredo, just for the clerical, what do you got left?
1:11:03
First of all, did someone say see you on the other side?
1:11:07
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I I have that, how many does
1:11:13
that make? That brings it up to A5
1:11:15
probably. Makes it a three.
1:11:16
Yeah, OK. I was.
1:11:20
Just looking at what I had leftovers, like did I skip over
1:11:23
that? So yeah, so I've got I've got 2
1:11:28
when I'm really surprised didn't get a little more love.
1:11:33
Rock'n'roll Rebel off of Dark Side of the Moon that was.
1:11:36
A. Really.
1:11:36
That was a really close one for me.
1:11:39
Dark side of the moon, yeah. I'm I, I bark at the moon.
1:11:43
I'm sorry. Bark side of at the moon, dark
1:11:46
side. Of the moon, yeah, No.
1:11:48
Bark at the moon not. Dark Side of the Moon, That's
1:11:51
some, but that just goes show. That album is never too far from
1:11:54
my mind. And the last one, yeah, nobody
1:11:59
had this. I knew nobody had this.
1:12:02
Crazy babies often. No rest for the weekend.
1:12:06
That. That was on my first pass.
1:12:08
Same. Yeah, was it?
1:12:10
Yeah. Yeah.
1:12:11
Oh wow, Yeah. Crazy.
1:12:13
Got. More love.
1:12:17
All right, that's it. Yeah, I think I want to put out
1:12:21
here, hold on, which song I dumped for Flying High again?
1:12:26
Which ended up being the right choice, because I'm pretty sure
1:12:31
it didn't come up. Yeah, it was off the diary of a
1:12:36
madman. It was a believer.
1:12:37
I dumped that. So I'm.
1:12:40
I'm glad I did that. All right, So we got 7 through
1:12:43
here. Crazy train.
1:12:45
Mr. Crowley. Bark at the moon.
1:12:47
Mama, I'm coming home. I don't know.
1:12:48
Flying high again over the mountain.
1:12:50
Nothing too shocking there, but a hell of a fucking list
1:12:54
already. We.
1:12:56
Have 3 threes here shot in the dark diary of a madman, see you
1:13:01
on the other side. My inclination is taking two of
1:13:05
those. We have a bunch of twos as well,
1:13:09
but we have two spots before I get my final say.
1:13:12
So the threes are shot in the dark diary of a madman, see you
1:13:16
on the other side. Is is there an odd man out
1:13:19
there, Peter, or do you think we need to dig into the twos?
1:13:29
It's hard to say. Yeah, it looks like we have all
1:13:31
three of those, so. Yeah.
1:13:36
And there's also like a couple of twos that I'm looking at and
1:13:38
I'm like, why are these not there's?
1:13:41
There's. Two, there's going to be a lot
1:13:43
of twos that are like, like we could be here for another hour
1:13:48
debating the twos real quick. Real.
1:13:50
Quick. Wasn't.
1:13:53
Jeez what the fuck is name of the album now?
1:13:55
That and I didn't pick it. It's off of my mom coming home.
1:14:02
No more tears. That's the album.
1:14:04
Yeah. Oh.
1:14:06
No more tears. Yeah, that's that.
1:14:07
That's that's it. Is there a that didn't make it?
1:14:13
Wasn't that a three that? Was a 2.
1:14:17
OK. Yeah, that's why I was like, you
1:14:20
know, I'm looking at some of these twos and I'm like, but out
1:14:26
of the three threes, if I had to jump one, I guess.
1:14:33
Diary of a Madman. Just just.
1:14:38
Got gunned to my head, have to say something.
1:14:41
All right, Chris, same question. Like we have these three threes.
1:14:46
Yeah. I would say yeah, I would take
1:14:50
the diary of a madman and be on the other side.
1:14:57
OK, Freda, I, I. Say let's let's let's listen to
1:15:05
the twos because while they got three votes, I think there was
1:15:12
again, the length of his career when we all jumped in.
1:15:18
I think there are songs that we could all agree should have been
1:15:21
more in the discussion and to to knock out one or two of those
1:15:26
spots just because these other ones got three side.
1:15:30
I mean, we're not, we're not pulling out in a bin, you know,
1:15:33
right. Well, I mean, we only have two
1:15:36
spots, so yeah. That's why I want to mention I
1:15:39
I, I want to hear them before I go in.
1:15:42
So here we have no more tears. I just want you.
1:15:46
Perry Mason. Ordinary man.
1:15:48
Slow down. Miracle man.
1:15:51
Devil's daughter. Holy war.
1:15:52
You can't kill Rock'n'roll. Thank God for the bomb.
1:15:57
That's a fucking top ten right there.
1:15:59
Yeah. As I'm going to make the case
1:16:07
for the song Ordinary Man, it got 2 votes.
1:16:12
I think I, I think it should have gotten more.
1:16:14
I, I think, I think it needs to be on this list because it'll be
1:16:19
the only example of what we have later in his career.
1:16:23
And I think it's a great example to show that you know what, he
1:16:27
still had it at the end of his career.
1:16:29
And if you're going to listen to this top ten, then you need to
1:16:34
hear the song and make sure that when you do your deep dive that
1:16:38
you don't overlook the latter end of his career.
1:16:43
I'm on board with that. It, I mean it is the only thing
1:16:45
from those two records we managed to get 2 votes on too.
1:16:50
So right, I'm on board for that. What about you, Chris?
1:16:54
I'm fine with that. It's a good song.
1:16:57
Let's. And we've only got one other
1:16:59
ballot on here, so I think there's room for it.
1:17:02
All right, so. Let's do that.
1:17:06
And now let's talk about song #9 is there something else jumping
1:17:13
out at you, Peter in those twos that that out outrank the threes
1:17:19
fucking? No more tears, man.
1:17:23
I mean, you don't have to. Yeah, I I that that would have
1:17:26
been a three had I not overlooked it.
1:17:33
I went, I went into this thinking that that was going to
1:17:35
be a home run. Really surprised.
1:17:38
You should have been. What do you think about no more
1:17:42
tears, Chris? It's it's, I mean, I can't, I,
1:17:45
I'm not, I can't say no that. Yeah.
1:17:50
I mean you. You could say whatever you want,
1:17:53
I said. No, you.
1:17:54
You can say whatever you want. I said no to 232 songs with
1:17:58
threes in. Them three songs all right boom
1:18:07
all right so that brings us up to 9 which means I have to
1:18:10
rethink my final say because that was going to be my final
1:18:13
say so now I don't have to use it on that wow we don't have
1:18:25
anything from osmosis or ultimate sin well I.
1:18:30
I say if if you're going to look at that, then I'm then I'm.
1:18:34
Going to raise. The flag from Perry Mason.
1:18:45
I'm also looking at slow down, but we've got some bark at the
1:18:48
moon I. Also shot in the Dark, which had
1:18:56
the three well. That's the one I was looking at
1:18:58
because that is 1 I got as an answer and because it was a
1:19:04
three, I got it. You know when I when I crowd
1:19:07
sourced, somebody said shot in the dark and because it got
1:19:10
three, like I said. And so I'm going to go with
1:19:15
that. Shot in the dark is going to be
1:19:18
my final say. That's going to round us out to
1:19:22
10. We run down this list and then
1:19:24
we can turn up the heat. What do we got here?
1:19:28
Crazy train. Mr. Crowley, bark at the moon.
1:19:30
Mama, I'm coming home. I don't know.
1:19:32
Flying high again over the mountain.
1:19:34
Ordinary man. No more tears Shot in the dark.
1:19:37
There's a lot that could be the number one here, Peter.
1:19:41
I mean, there's one that feels like it's probably the obvious,
1:19:46
but there's there's a lot that could come up here.
1:19:50
What do you think is our number one?
1:19:53
It's got to be crazy, train. It's got to be what do you.
1:19:57
Think Chris. Yeah, no, I agree.
1:20:00
It's, I'd love to say Mr. Crowley, but.
1:20:10
I mean, do you want to be contrarian here, Fred, or is it
1:20:13
crazy train? No, I mean, you know, you know,
1:20:17
I think of I think of the end of the year and I think of the song
1:20:26
that's going to stand out for the artist.
1:20:29
And this is the song that stands out for the artist.
1:20:32
Yeah. Like I said that that.
1:20:36
Yeah, there's a lot of one as, but this is 1, you know?
1:20:41
Yeah. It, it's just cool.
1:20:43
Like it's just a cool song, you know, I I could make a case for
1:20:50
I don't know, I feel like Flying High again makes a really solid
1:20:54
case. No more tears strangely makes a
1:20:58
case, but none of them are as cool as crazy train.
1:21:05
Some of them, some of them may be as good, some of them may be
1:21:08
better, but none of them are as cool as crazy train.
1:21:15
So I think I think it's got to be crazy train.
1:21:19
So let me get that going underneath us here, and I'll run
1:21:25
this down. One last go.
1:21:28
Crazy Train, of course, is our number one.
1:21:30
Mr. Crowley, bark at the moon, Mama, I'm coming home.
1:21:33
I don't know. Flying high again over the
1:21:34
mountain. Ordinary man.
1:21:36
No more tears shot in the dark if you listen to that.
1:21:39
And into Ozzy. I don't know what to tell you,
1:21:41
man. I really don't like.
1:21:44
You're just wrong, I think. So with that, let's let Crazy
1:21:50
Train get a moment in the sun. Just cool.
1:22:03
It's just cool. All right, we have done it.
1:22:08
And you know, this is a list. Often times I'm proud of the
1:22:12
list, you know, like I'm very proud of the list we've come
1:22:16
come up with and I am here too. But like, I feel like this is a
1:22:21
list we really, really did the job.
1:22:23
Like we like, I don't feel like if you listen to this list,
1:22:28
you're not going to be into Ozzy.
1:22:30
Like, I know it's got like hit after hit after hit on it, but
1:22:35
like, it also feels like maybe people are like me where Ozzy
1:22:39
has kind of been there your whole life and you didn't
1:22:43
necessarily ignore him. But like, you, the songs would
1:22:47
come up and you'd be like, oh, yeah, that's cool.
1:22:49
And then it would disappear. We're giving you an excuse to to
1:22:53
listen to these 10 songs and just dive back in because Ozzy
1:22:57
ruled and Crazy Train especially ruled.
1:23:02
So there you go. Get into Ozzy, man.
1:23:05
You know you want to and you know you want to.
