It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

The heavy metal star reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates on stage at Villa Park earlier in July.

I have a cousin who never heard of Ozzy. I'm sending them 3 songs I think every civilized being should know. My first thought was:

Then I realized they were all from the same album. I really like Bark at the Moon from his solo stuff, but that's mostly bc the guitar work is so outstanding. I dunno... what's your favorite Ozzy song?

Children of the Grave and Into the Void have some of the best riffs of all time, but honestly, it's hard to top N.I.B.

Frankly, if you like heavy music, any of the first 4 Sabbath albums are damn near masterpieces from front to back (some people would include Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and even Sabotage, but I'm not one of those people at this point)
