OK, so I had the playlist all sorted and ready to go and then we all heard the terrible news of Ozzy's passing. I couldn't let this go without paying homage to one of the guys without whom there may not even be a Fallen. So I bookended the playlist with the opening and penultimate tracks from Sabbath's live album recorded at their supposed final concert, 2017's The End Live, just to remind us of Ozzy, the ultimate metal showman's on-stage personality. I have also included a live version of Ozzy's solo debut's most doomy track, Mr. Crowley along with studio versions of "Fairies Wear Boots", "N.I.B." and "Snowblind". Thanks for indulging an old metalheads feeble attempt to pay suitable respect to one of his lifelong heroes.
