Ozzy Osbourne is heavy metal's original madman. Frontman of Black Sabbath in the 70s, his wails of dispair on the likes of Black Sabbath, Paranoid and War Pigs cemented metal's fixation with all things grim, setting a template for a darker strain of music that would extricate itself entirely from late 60s hard rock as the decade progressed.
Booted from Sabbath in 1980, few - Osbourne included - expected him to rally and arise anew as a star in his own right, adding a wild-eyed mania to his repertoire that saw him crowned The Prince Of Darkness. Almost 45 years later, Ozzy is getting his dues by being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame as a solo artist, having already been inducted with Black Sabbath all the way back in 2006. To celebrate his incredible career, Hammer spoke to some of metal's biggest and brightest names to find the ultimate Ozzy Osbourne playlist - from Sabbath to solo.
