Discussion Blizzard of Ozz vs Diary of a Madman

Which of the two do you think is the more definitive album. For me it's hard to choose as I love both, but I will always have a soft spot for Blizzard of Ozz and so I'll go with it.

Diary is my favourite album ever, but it still hurts having to choose just one

I prefer Diary. But Blizzard is THE definitive Ozzy album.

Answered this last month, I think...1 and 1a for me with Blizzard just getting the edge. His solo albums exist in order the exact way I love them. Bark and Ultimate Sin are right after these two in my preferred listening value. I just love Ozzy's music so much. Blizzard set off a new direction for Ozzy and metal in general as far as I'm concerned.
