What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine too
I'm really surprised at Secret Loser's poor result. Easily one of Ozzy's best tracks imo.

It´s my favourite Ozzy song from my favourite Ozzy album.

I'm a Bark at the Moon guy personally but I rank The Ultimate Sin highly as well.

A coma stole my name.
Ultimate Sin is also my favorite Ozzy album. For being an Ozzy album from the 80’s, it’s still criminally underrated. There’s an upper echelon of heavy metal albums in my life that I wish ALL heavy metal albums could sound like - and The Ultimate Sin is in that tier for me.
That sweet hard rock sound with bits of AOR, hair metal mixed with slight power metal leanings. I love the fantasy sounding lyrics in Killer of Giants. My favorite song though is Fool Like You, a crowning achievement for Jake E Lee - the best his guitar ever sounded in a song (to my ears).
EDIT: I believe it to be the first Ozzy album with NO filler or fluff. I remember some weird kind of prog stuff from Blizzard and then a couple clunkers a piece from Diary and Bark at the Moon.

And amazing artwork!
You should also vote!
Well, suite sister Mary sure knows where to bury the bodies, huh? Queensryche wins here. Slayer still sleeps at dawn due to Metallica's sandman. The gates of Babylon are slammed on Nocte Obducta by Rainbow. You know that Mr. Crowley was going to win when it comes to sex type stuff, and so does Ozzy. It's a clean sweep for Black Sabbath! Well done as they shoot down UFO. In the last matchup, Ozzy is the not-so-secret loser against AC/DC.

Nazi vs Poseur, no matter what you pick you're wrong (I will probably be voting Poseur)
Deliverance is generally considered an Opeth masterpiece, and I can really see why. It doesn't quite work for me, it feels too disjointed and for whatever reason the growls don't connect. I've been finding Opeth growls more easy to enjoy of late but this one doesn't fly so much. On the other side we have the mighty Bolt Thrower, one of my favourite death metal bands. This song isn't one of my favourite, and it does have the blast beats growl, but otherwise the guitar work here is great. I'll go with Bolt Thrower accepting that Opeth is going to win in a cakewalk.
I don't like Burzum. I don't like Varg. I don't like what Varg stands for. I don't particularly like this song. And while I don't love Breaking Benjamin (frankly, I find the name a threat), this song is fine, and that's enough to vote Breaking Benjamin.
Kreator is fine, this is one of the better Kreator tracks, but The Sentinel is a fucking classic. I prefer Priest to Kreator and The Sentinel to Endorama. Judas Priest.
Holocaust (the band) is more fun, the song is more fun, and Smoke on the Water is too rocky for me for this game, even though it's timeless.
I found myself liking Bleed more than I remembered. I enjoyed how proggish it seemed under the growls. But Angel of Death is a titan for a reason. Slayer in a cakewalk.
Mayhem over Mercyful Fate here. There's some really interesting riffwork and sounds in the buzz of the Mayhem track, and this one KD is getting really on my nerves.

I suspect the draw was fixed just to set up this one liner!

I guess it was coincidence. LooseCannon is just great in making these oneliners.
Everything has been determined randomly, so I have set nothing up for my own benefit!

Well I don't like Varg or whatever he stands for (hard to say since he's changed his mind so many times) either but I do like Burzum.
90s Burzum, more precisely.
Also voting for Mayhem (with Varg on bass, incidentally) of course.
The best Freezing Moon version is the early one with Dead on vocals btw

Oh and congrats @TheMercenary for voting JP and Kreator at the same time.
