Blizzard of Ozz

Rare card · No. 47516

Blizzard of Ozz is the debut solo studio album by the English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne. Released on 12 September 1980 in the UK and on 27 March 1981 in the US, the album was Osbourne's first release following his firing from Black Sabbath in 1979. Blizzard of Ozz is the first of two studio albums Osbourne recorded with guitarist Randy Rhoads prior to Rhoads' death in 1982. Two singles were taken from the album, "Crazy Train" and "Mr. Crowley"; the former peaked at No. 49 on the UK singles chart. The album was subject to controversy over the song "Suicide Solution" and its alleged role in a teenager's suicide in 1984. Despite this, it has received critical acclaim and in 2017 was ranked 9th on Rolling Stone's list of "100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time".
