RIP Ozzy, one of the founding fathers of metal music! I still can't believe he is dead !

I still remember, after my parents divorced, and I moved to the new place with my dad, there was a neighbor, way older than me, who was showing me his collection of music on cassettes. He was more into hard rock, but I heard Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and I loved it from the first listen ! :)

I didn't really listen to Ozzy in his solo career, or even Black Sabbath much, but whenever I did, the riffs were heavy and awesome, and lyrics and voice were crazy and psychodelic! The thing is, every local band was playing Iron Man, and I found it cheesy, so I never properly listened to any albums except Sabbath Bloody Sabbath... Now I regret it a little. But ok, it's never too late to listen!

Last year I went to the exposition "Metal - Diabolus in Musica" at the Philharmonie de Paris where I learned how much Black Sabbath was important in the metal music and I definetly got more respect for them and Ozzy. And now he is dead...

To celebrate his artistical life, I created a selection table at the médiathéque so people can borrow and relisten some of his music. I hope it will be interesting for people.
