Ozzy Osborne sprang to life at 9 pm last night!! One of his first choices was "Highway to Hell" by ACDC. Earth-shattering. Had I been asleep, I wouldn't have needed an alarm to wake me up!!

Elton John was the next choice (beautiful - Mike Skinner, hang your head in shame!!). Fascinating to hear Ozzy is such a good friend of Elton's, and how he considers Elton such a good and generous man. Loved the story of how Ozzy was admiring a medallion around Elton's neck ... Elton took it right off and gave it to him.

Guns & Roses were the next choice (earth-shattering once again).

Beatles were next, his actual favourite band of all time. I liked Ozzy's comments at this point that music would always take him to a certain place in time, the fragrances in the air, time of day, exactly what he was doing, etc., etc... Lovely. Totally understood.

Loved the choice of "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton (lovely). He thinks Eric wrote this after the death of his child. Ozzy showed for the second time surprising sensitivity in acknowledging the courage it must have taken to write this song.

Subsequent choices were Black Sabbath (he used to be the lead singer) and Deep Purple.

Next choice was John Lennon's "Imagine" (gorgeous). He remembered specifically being in Wales when he heard John had been killed. This was followed by Led Zepplin's Stairway to Heaven.

This slot was absolutely OUTSTANDING. I would have liked a bit more personal details, but his attitude towards other artists more than made up for it!! Well done, Ozzy!! He's never stopped, and is still touring to this day... check out http://www.ozzy.com

Marks out of 10 = 11. CHECK THIS OUT!! Fantastic!! Remarkable!!

Seriously??!!!111

It does sound good, I may listen again.

[foot-loose]

its worth a listen - aside from the standard comedy that Ozzy brings anyways, the music is pretty good. I liked it when he was doing the intro to the news at 10 when he quite obvioulsy went from talking about music that he knew about to reading a script that had been put in front of him.

I loved his comment about meeting Tony Blair, that Tony could never get the riff to Iron Man right on his guitar, and Ozzy thought "shouldn't this man be more concerned about the war in Iraq?

He didn't play any of his Solo stuff though...

I'd been waiting for 2 weeks for this. Ozzy is the King, as always.

Hes definitely had some life that fella. I tend to look at the playlists before I listen and his looks great.

[Vivienne]

That's interesting... that you look at the playlists. personally, i don't... prefer the surprise factor.

[Console]

I'm fairly certain that the playlists don't contain the time that each song is going to be on, even if you could memorise it without the will to.

[Vivienne]

i can sometimes hear a tune playing in my head a few seconds in advance of it being smacked on ...

[MK Chris]

That's because the DJ talks over the intro. Or it's a CD and you're putting it on.

[Vivienne]

no. tophs, it's before it even goes that far!! woo hoo!

[Console]

Are you listening on via a digital stream with an analogue radio in the background, because the digital stream is slightly behind the analogue one.

[Vivienne]

no, i can sometimes hear the songs playing in my head ..

[Console]

Did you have a radio installed inside your head?

[Vivienne]

no, just a super brain.
