Heaven and Hell, and Mob Rules, were the only Sabbath worth listening to with him singing, but go back to Rainbow and ELF, and you got some good #$%* there. Holy Diver remains a classic to this day as well.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Man that guy looked old in the early 80's! Really too bad what happened. I listened to his stuff and even had the old elf album. Sad to see him go.

Ronnie.

He had a very distinct sounding voice that will stand its time.

Don't talk to Strangers. :)

One of my favorites.
