Black Sabbath - The Mob Rules (1981)

Anything Sabbath did after Ozzy left usually gets passed over by casual fans and it is really a shame. This is the second album with legendary vocalist Ronnie James Dio and it is just as good or maybe even better than any Ozzy album. The songs are great and the vocals really shine.

Lineup:
Tony Iommi - Guitar
Ronnie James Dio - Vocals
Geezer Butler - Bass
Vinny Appice - Drums

I just saw this lineup 2 months ago and it was great. They are still going around and i would highly recommend seeing them. This is a one off tour so its pretty much now or never.

Favorite Tracks: Slipping Away, Falling Off the Edge of the World (GREAT SONG!!!), and Over and Over

Track List
1. Turn Up The Night
2. Voodoo
3. The Sign Of The Southern Cross
4. E5150
5. The Mob Rules
6. Country Girl
7. Slipping Away
8. Falling Off The Edge Of The World
9. Over And Over

Tony Iommi and Glenn Hughes - Fused (2005)

The great Tony Iommi teams up again with ex Deep Purple Vocalist Glenn Hughes for another superb solo album. Iommi, if you didn't already know, is Black Sabbath, probably one of the greatest hard rock bands ever. The sound of this album is hard rock, alternative almost, with the soulful vocals of Hughes. I think Glenn is one of the best vocalists that Iommi has played with. Dio has great range and an awesome sound but I really love the powerful, soulful sound of the vocals on this album. Great guitar work and killer vocals.

Lineup:
Tony Iommi - Guitar
Glenn Hughes - Vocals, Bass
Kenny Aronoff - Drums
Bob Marlette - Keyboards, Bass

Favorite Tracks: Wasted Again and I Go Insane (esp. this song, this song is epic)

Track List:
1. Dopamine
2. Wasted Again
3. Saviour of the Real
4. Resolution Song
5. Grace
6. Deep Inside A Shell
7. What You’re Living For
8. Face Your Fear
9. The Spell
10. I Go Insane
