it has a couple of good songs, but there is way too much bad 70s proggy keyboard shit going on. back street kids is a good song. there is one more but i can't remember what it is.

I like "She's Gone" but not too many good tunes on that album....

i think never say die pretty much sucks except for the title track as well. you hear people make arguments for them , but when you consider the next three albums they put out, there is no contest as to which is better.

I'm probably the only one here that likes all the singers from Sabbath, even some Tony Martin

No question that the 1st few albums with Dio are better albums than the last few with Ozzy (not counting the reunion album from last year), but I think Never Say Die is better than you give it credit for and better than Technical Ecstasy (the worst Ozzy era album; great name and cover; shitty album). It's still nowhere near the quality of anything up to and including Sabotage, though. I'm not a fan of Born Again, though. I've tried with that record.

He was also the writer for Ozzy's early stuff that had a keyboard (Mr Crowley)

I always thought Bob Daisley wrote all of that stuff. You learn something new every day.

Bob Daisley was the primary lyricist. Ozzy usually came up with the vocal melody and maybe a title or subject matter and then possibly some words or a phrase but couldn't complete an entire song, according to Daisley.

The fact that Ozzy had any music career whatsoever after Sabbath is most likely a tribute to Sharon and her efforts to make him a brand. It's a crime that she disrespected the actual writers who allowed him to have a career after that (I think she may have done the same thing to Jake E. Lee as she did to Daisley/Kerslake) - but she clearly knew what she was doing if her agenda was to make him a household name.

I totally second this, right by now, I click more with Born Again than with the Dio Sabbs

geezer said in that popoff book that he was integral to the writing process though, which is why i imagine he got a songwriting credit. but yeah, ozzy is one of the few solo guys is metal that would probably admit he can't write a lick of music to save his life.
