3. Crazy Train (Blizzard of Ozz, 1980)

“In my personal opinion Randy “is” and was the Greatest guitar player to ever thrash a six string. The studio albums do not give him justice because of his inability to reign free over his production by disrespecting producers who did not allow him to let loose with his recordings from lack of trust from a very young axeman. In contrary, this album shows you what Randy was capable of when Ozzy let him do his shine through. Simply incredible.”

2. I Don’t Know (Blizzard of Ozz, 1980)

“It’s a shame we always seem to loose the greatest guitar players before their time should be up! Randy Rhoads was one of the Greats! I would Highly recommend this to anyone who loves music.”

1. Mr. Crowley (Ozzy Osbourne Live E.P., 1980)

“An amazing rendition of a heavy metal classic. What really makes this is Alexi Laiho’s dazzling guitar work; Rhoads would be beaming if he were here today to listen. Laiho remains true to the original while adding a few embellishments here and there to make it his own.”
