It's a tie between this and "Bark At the Moon" for my favorite Ozzy album (hey, I've been an Ozzy fan since 1984, in the days when people called me a "devil worshipper" for liking him. Nowadays, those same people, along with everyone else, have jumped on his bandwagon). "Diary Of a Madman" is one of those CDs you can put in the player, push play and just enjoy from beginning to end. I like every single song on this CD. Legend has it that this and "Blizzard Of Ozz" were material he couldn't get onto Black Sabbath albums. It's just as well because the songs sound better as solo material as opposed to how a group would perform them. While corporate radio constantly plays "Over the Mountain" and "Flying High Again," I like the tracks that get the once-in-a-blue-moon airplay: The title track, "You Can't Kill Rock and Roll" ("You can't kill rock and roll, it's here to stay" is a simple sentiment but it's kept my love of rock and roll strong all these years), as well as "Little Dolls." Ozzy's songwriting coupled with Randi Rhodes's out-of-this-world guitar playing make "Diary Of A Madman" an Ozzy essential.
