Black Sabbath is great with Ronnie James Dio, Gillan, Hughes and Martin.
Just got to get use to the different singers.
Saw Sabbath live with Ozzy, Dio, and Gillan and all three were great.

Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass), Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), and Bill Ward (drums)…..the original lineup of Black Sabbath…..pioneers in helping create the basics of Heavy Metal.
When you start to discuss the Black Sabbath career, fans become divided into two camps:
The Ozzy purists who believe the only Sabbath is the original Sabbath and
The Tony Iommi diehards who profess an allegiance to all eras of Sabbath, concentrating on the full catalog rather than just the Ozzy years.
Myself? I’m in category two, my allegiance is to the full career/catalog of the band.
I equally enjoy the original lineup, the Ronnie James Dio years, the Ian Gillan experiment, the Glenn Hughes project, and the Tony Martin era. Granted, some albums and lineups I enjoy more than others but I am a fan of Black Sabbath the band.
Many fans divide when it comes to who is/was at the mic.
Most accept the Dio albums because they are fine pieces of work.
Many recognize the Gillan led BORN AGAIN (1983) because the album sold and the tour was successful.
The downturn in support starts with singer change to Glenn Hughes on SEVENTH STAR (1986), which was supposed to be a Tony Iommi solo album. A band can only go to the well so many times and, when Hughes developed vocal problems on the road, in stepped official singer, Ray Gillen (Badlands). After the Seventh Star tour, personnel changes plagued the band again resulting in Gillen leaving and the band regrouping with Tony Martin taking the mic in 1987.
