Top 10 Ozzy Osbourne Albums Ranked

10. Ordinary Man (2020)

"Today I woke up and I hate myself
Death doesn’t answer when I cry for help
No high could save me from the depths of hell
I’ll drown my mind until I’m someone else

Don’t take care of me, be scared of me
My misery owns me
I don’t wanna be my enemy
My misery owns me now"

9. Black Rain (2007)

"All my life I’ve been over the top
I don’t know what I’m doing
All I know is I don’t wanna stop
All fired up, I’m gonna go till I drop
You’re either in or in the way
Don’t make me, I don’t wanna stop"

8. Scream (2010)

"I’ll pull you up and push you right
Back in your place!
I’ll take you down and wipe that smile
Right off your face!

I’ll watch you break,
Your mine to take,
Don’t blink; you just might miss it!
It’s all or nothing,
Nowhere left to run!"

It is Osbourne’s only album to feature guitarist Gus G, who replaced long-term guitarist Zakk Wylde.

7. No Rest For The Wicked (1988)

"Nobody hears the things I say
I guess nobody cares
My head’s so full of things
I’ll set my mind free of them
I’m breaking the rules

Breaking all the rules
Can’t you see they’re nothing without you
Empty heads full of fool
Now you see I’m breakin’ all the rules
Breakin’ all the rules"

6. No More Tears (1991)

"I was looking back on my life
And all the things I’ve done to me
I’m still looking for the answers
I’m still searching for the key

The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won’t leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The road to nowhere leads to me"

It was Osbourne’s final album to feature drummer Randy Castillo and longtime bassist and songwriter Bob Daisley.

Stand Out Tracks: 'Road To Nowhere' and 'Hellraiser'

5. The Ultimate Sin (1986)

"Out on the street, I’m stalking the night
I can hear my heavy breathing
Paid for the kill but it doesn’t seem right
Something there I can believe in

Voices are calling from inside my head
I can hear them, I can hear them
Vanishing memories of things that were said
They can’t try to hurt me now

But a shot in the dark, one step away from you
A shot in the dark, always creeping up on you"

It was his first to feature drummer Randy Castillo and bassist Phil Soussan, who co-wrote the album’s hit single “Shot in the Dark”.

Stand Out Tracks: 'Shot In The Dark' and the Title Track

4. Ozzmosis (1995)

"I don’t mind
Single file down the runway
Feelin’ fine

And I’ll see you my friend
Over and over again

Who can we get on the case?
We need Perry Mason
Someone to put you in place
Calling Perry Mason again"

The album reached number 22 on the UK Albums Chart and number 4 on the US Billboard 200.

Stand Out Tracks: 'Old L.A Tonight' and 'Perry Mason'

3. Bark At The Moon (1983)

"Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengence is boiling
He’s returned to kill the light
Then when he’s found who he’s looking for
Listen in awe and you’ll hear him

Bark at the moon"

This is Osbourne’s first album to feature guitarist Jake E. Lee and only studio album to feature drummer Tommy Aldridge.

Stand Out Tracks: 'Centre of Eternity' and the Title Track

2. Diary of a Madman (1981)

"How many times can they fill me with lies and I listen again?
Twisting the truth and they’re playin’ around with my head ok
The things they will do and the things they will say
But they don’t really understand
Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries for the reason today

And they don’t really know even what they’re talkin’ about
And I can’t imagine what empty heads can achieve

Leave me alone, don’t want your promises no more
‘Cause rock ‘n’ roll is my religion and my love
Won’t ever change, may think it’s strange
You can’t kill rock ‘n’ roll, it’s here to stay"

This is the last Osbourne studio album to feature guitarist Randy Rhoads and drummer Lee Kerslake.

Stand Out Tracks: 'You Can't Kill Rock and Roll' and 'Flying High Again'
