Favorite Crazy Songs #4 - "Crazy Train"

Tweet

#4 in my Favorite "Crazy" Songs series really needs no introduction, Ozzy Osbourne and his 1980 classic "Crazy Train." Ozzy Osbourne is one of rock music's all-time colorful characters. Here is all you need to know for proof: the Black Sabbath vocalist was discovered by the band when he was calling himself Ozzy Zigg. He once posted an add that simply read "Ozzy Zigg need's gig," so the band contacted himself, and the rest is history. (VH1) That, and he once did an interview with Howard Stern, during which he declared himself "psycho." And about a hundred other things. Anyway, despite his quirks, Ozzy is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, as both a member of Black Sabbath and as a solo artist. Simply put, the man has been involved in some classic music. "Crazy Train" is a classic slab of 80's metal propelled by the late Randy Rhodes' stellar guitar play. A classic rock staple, "Crazy Train" reached #9 on the Billboard Rock Tracks chart. The song has been covered, notably, by Bullet for My Valentine, and Pat Boone(!) What can I say? It's a favorite, crazy or not.
