Ozzy Osbourne vs Alice Cooper

Who's better Ozzy Osbourneor Alice Cooper? I say it's a draw I like them both equally.

Ozzys better, Alice just doesnt have as many good songs IMO

I love the dead before theyre cold
Theyre bluing flesh for me to hold
Cadaver eyes upon me see... nothing
I love the dead before they rise
No farewells, no goodbyes
I never knew your rotting face
While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave
I have other uses for you, darling
We love the dead
We love the dead, yeah

Lines form on my face and hands
Lines form from the ups and downs
I'm in the middle without any plans
I'm a boy and I'm a man

I'm eighteen
and I don't know what I want
Eighteen
I just don't know what I want
Eighteen
I gotta get away
I've gotta get out of this place
I'll go runnin in outer space
Oh yeah

I got a
baby's brain and an old man's heart
Took eighteen years to get this far
Don't always know what I'm talkin' about
Feels like I'm livin in the middle of doubt
Cause I'm

Eighteen
I get confused every day
Eighteen
I just don't know what to say
Eighteen
I gotta get away

Lines form on my face and my hands
Lines form on the left and right
I'm in the middle
the middle of life
I'm a boy and I'm a man
I'm eighteen and I LIKE IT
Yes I like it
Oh I like it
Love it
Like it
Love it
Eighteen!
Eighteen!
Eighteen!
Eighteen and I LIKE IT

Ozzy is father of rock. Ozzy all the way.

I've always been a fan of Ozzy, but I had a chance to see Alice Cooper live about 2 years ago, and it blew my mind. It wasn't even that big of a venue and he was still great. Probably one of the best live shows I've ever seen.

Ozzy baby. Prince of darkness ftw!

Got to be Ozzy

I'd vote for Ozzy

Ozzy by a lot. Alice Cooper isn't that talented.LJS9502_basic

Cooper isn't that talented? Tell me that's a joke coming from someone with "The Cure" sig.

Ozzy, hands down.

I'll go Ozzy on this one but to say Cooper is not creative and not that talented when he's done more than most musicians will ever do, is just an attack on Cooper with no reason of criticism.

Are we including Black Sabbath with Ozzy?

Either way, I like Ozzy a lot more.

Sold more records than most musicians which means the fans like him and fans are the ultimate judge. Created Shock Rock (haven't you seen how many bands he inspired). I could go on and on but that alone is much more reason than you have given calling him not that talented and not creative.

Music sales is the only judge. To say Madonna is not talented is another statement with no reason :roll:. How do you judge talent? They are different genre's of music. To me your statement is you are the only judge of music and you don't have to give a reason for your blank statements.

I asked for an answer as to what Cooper did that other musicians did not. I was told as a response by you that you weren't getting into that. Which means you don't have a reason for your statement( to paraphrase you comment.).;)

I gave 2 reasons.

Sold more records than most musicians which means the fans like him and fans are the ultimate judge. Created Shock Rock (haven't you seen how many bands he inspired).

And you are saying I did not give reasons? Then you ask your question again when I have repeatedly asked why you think Alice is not talented and I still did not get a reason?

I like Alice Cooper the band about as much as I like solo Ozzy.

Solo Alice compared to Solo Ozzy though, is an easy win in favor of Ozzy.

OK, he refined it. I'm still waiting for your reasons.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Mainstream sales means nothing in regard to talent as I've stated. As for shock rock....doesn't seem he was the first.LJS9502_basic

OK, he refined it. I'm still waiting for your reasons.

So it's just your definition of creative and mediocre? Perhaps you just should of said you don't like his music instead of calling him not talented and not creative?

He has inspired countless musicians and bands and defined in wiki that he refined shock rock. You saying he's not talented and not creative, I still don't understand your response.

4 1/2 star out of 5 on Amazon with 72 reviews. Not too shabby but I'm interested in your review more but if you can show me a reviewer calling him with little talent and not creative, I have my eyes wide open.

Tell me what is not creative or talented about Schools Out, Billion Dollar Babies, Under my wheels, I'm 18, Only Women Bleed, um those are just a few off the top of my head. I like a bunch of his less popular songs also.

He career has also lasted for decades, he not your typical 5 year musician.

Those songs are generic rock songs. Nothing special. Because someone hangs around for decades means nothing dude. I also don't have to share your opinon.

I saw Alice Cooper in concert once.

He was great without having to chew on bats.:P:lol::lol:

Ozzzy.

I have to ask again, what critics were you referring to that think Alice has little talent and not creative?

Those songs you call generic withstood the test of time. I'm not sure how you call them generic. He still plays the songs to screaming fans like he did 30+ years ago.
