I agree 100%.

I’d say top 5 excluding Randy’s compositions. But yeah, love the riff, the solo is amazing. Great song!

all a matter of personal taste.
IMO, S.A.T.O. is such a sleeper and gets overlooked because it was never a released single ....
"This is the unloved stepchild of the Randy Rhoads era. It’s not as lauded as songs like Over The Mountain or Flying High Again from the same album, but by Satan’s own smouldering codpiece, it’s absolutely perfect. There’s a slow atmospheric build, then the driving riff kicks in and this compact nugget of condensed brilliance drills its way into your brain. There’s no need for a grand chorus when the melody lines of the verses do the job just as well. The lyrics are enigmatic, the solo is as good as any of Randy’s more feted moments and this remains an overlooked and underrated gem."
I could listen to Diary of a Madman all day long.
Loved me some OZZY during my HS years and wore out Blizzard, Diary, Bark, and Ultimate Sin.

If you're a guitarist, The Ultimate Sin album has even more Jake fretboard wizardry than the BATM album. Those licks and tricks he turns into rhythm/song foundation bricks is jaw dropping. On both records, to be fair.
Jake is (narrowly) my favorite Ozzy guitarist because I like his more bluesy roots and approach. That being said, I'll take his Badlands catalog over his Ozzy catalog if I had to pick.

Bark at the Moon is one of the GOAT complete songs ever for guitar - from the rhythm to lead, all of it really
I love Randy but Bark at the Moon is my favorite Ozzy song, guitar solo (just slightly above Mr Crowley), and guitar work overall

Been learning a bunch of the riffs for that song. Real fun to play.

Agreed! Jake E. Lee is a great guitarist and this album was some of his best work.

I been saying this for years and I also tout the whole album as great...

Diary of a Madman has several songs (6) better than Bark at the Moon. Anyway, Rolling Stone's 1982 review of Diary...
Wow. What a pretentious jack arse and that is their metal writer. R.S. would go on to rank DOAMM as the 15th greatest metal album of all time. Also, whoever brought up S.A.T.O. Hell yes. Forgot how great that song is.

As you'd expect, the songs here are little more than riffs with a vocal line pasted on top. They're barely original yet perfectly serviceable, thanks to Osbourne's X factor, guitarist Randy Rhoads. A flashy, powerhouse performer, Rhoads is a junior-league Eddie Van Halen bustling with chops but somewhat short on imagination. Rhoads' limitations never get in the way, though, because they keep his playing as thuddingly direct as the rest of the group's. And in the long run, that's what makes this record satisfying. Since heavy-metal music is so rigidly formalized, the trick is to maintain the conventions without being straitjacketed by them. It's a trick that Osbourne's madmen know by heart.
If only Ozzy Osbourne knew enough to keep his lyrics off the inner sleeve. It's one thing to call an album Diary of a Madman, quite another to reprint the pages. (RS 362)

I’m too biased towards Randy’s stuff, but Bark at the Moon is one of the top 5 guitar songs of all time, and I won’t argue against the solo being #1. Diary of a Madman is Ozzy’s greatest song though.
ETA: …and Ozzy is the GOAT. His most recent album is phenomenal. It’s amazing how his string of success has continued through so many lineup changes. As incoherent as he seems, he’s a melodic genius.

Just this past weekend, I spent some time watching YouTube videos of Badlands live. Holy crap, during an era when bands rarely sounded anything like their recordings when they played live, Badlands was absolutely amazing and very true to what their albums sounded like…..but better!

As a young teen I bought the "Paranoid" album on cassette at a gas station in rural Louisiana.
That really may be my favorite work that ozzy was a part of. That album takes me back to those teenage nights of being 16 and driving home from your girlfriends house after getting stoned and laid.
Plenty of night I remember that long drive where I would barely see another car on the routes I'd take. Planet caravan was always good for the closing of a great day, and just being content in the moment.

BATM is a good song on a really lousy album. There are many RR performances on the first two that blow it away.
