Question:
SpazzmaTazz: But I must confess, to what are you referring as "Fluff"? Is that a name of a song? I have not heard of that one… As George said; "Fluff" is from SBS… and is among the BS/Ozzy slow/melodic songs… of which, unfortunately, many consider "out of place" [an opinion I do not share]. IMO, "Fluff" is also the perfect name for the tune; soft, airy, soothing, etc… and actually shows just how widely talented the early BS band was. Which is especially rewarding to me, as this [for me] further proves the critics wrong! Half-breed

Yep, I know. It’s a very popular song, but I find it sappy and just plain dumb. >I love that song even more after an incident > that happened this summer. >shit, I can’t think of the name of it, shit! >Seriously Dude? NMT
Right-O! Thanks, I hate it when something so obvious just escapes my memory.

Yeah! Damn I still get chills every time I` hear MICH. Especially the ending notes of the song. -=Gia=- OZZY RULZ!!

The instrumental tune,"Fluff," can be found on the 1973 release of Black Sabbath"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath." I love it. Very mellow. Don’t forget " Just Say Ozzy" If you can find it in stores.

Man! How could you not like MICH? I love that song even more after an incident that happened this summer. >shit, I can’t think of the name of it, shit!
Seriously Dude? NMT

LL: Man! How could you not like MICH? Really! That’s a classic of classics! Diversity makes the world go round… along with greats like NMT, Dreamer, [BS days] Planet Caravan, Changes, Solitude, and of course, Fluff! Half-breed

Solitude and Planet Caravan are two of my all time favorites. Fairies Wear Boots is awesome as well. I purchased a Black Sabbath: The Ozzy Osbourne Years boxed set a couple of years ago, and I play it constantly. Good shit, man. But I must confess, to what are you referring as "Fluff"? Is that a name of a song? I have not heard of that one…
Response:
If I were you try "No more tears" or Ozmosis and/or blizzard of Oz" but "No more tears is a must if you are new at this. -=Gia=- OZZY RULZ!!

If I was to buy them all again I would do so in this order. 1.Blizzard of Ozz (original) 2. No More Tears 3. Diary Of A Madman (original) 4. Bark At The Moon 5. Ozzmosis 6. No Rest for The Wicked 7. Speak Of the Devil 8. Down To Earth 9. Ultimate Sin Buy Tribute if you really dig Randy Rhoads and buy the Live and Loud DVD instead of the CD. Most of the other releases are for diehards and collectors. cheers

Also, I would suggest you pick up the "Tribute Album" that features Randy Rhoads blazing guitar work Live in concert.

I’m a new Ozzy fan and would like to buy one or two of his CDs. I was hoping one of you great Ozzy fans could recommend one to add to my library. Amazon.com doesn’t help much as there are just too many of his titles to try and weed thru’. Didn’t realize how much he recorded. Appreciate any suggestions guys, Thanks, Ron

The top three Ozzy cds to get would be "Blizzard of Oz," "Diary of a Madman" and "No More Tears." Diary imo, is Ozzy’s best work and features Randy Rhoads at his best. *Do not* buy the recent remastered versions of Blizzard and Diary that have the "Bigger and Better" stickers on them. The new remastered versions have been re-recorded with Ozzy’s current rhythm section and sound crappy compared to the original versions. Simply buy the versions of these cds that have the album covers in a small square on the front and the song titles in microscopic type in a circle on the back. Look on used cd bins or on ebay although some stores still carry the original versions. You should be able to get ‘em for around 10 to 11 bucks a disc.
