Honorable Mention: Ozzy Osbourne, Down to Earth/ Black Rain
Quick, name five Ozzy Osbourne songs from his last three albums. Can’t do it? You’re not alone. Ozzy Osbourne is a living legend, and he’s created some phenomenal music over the course of his career. That said, it hasn’t been since 1995’s Ozzmosis that he’s created an album that truly stands on its own. Whether it was Zakk Wylde’s concentration on Black Label Society, Ozzy’s dabbling in being a reality show star from 2002-2005, or any other number of factors, the two albums he released in the first decade of the 2000’s seemed to be front-loaded with one single, and that was about it. With that said, Scream showed some signs of life, possibly due to new guitarist Gus G.
