80's were a dead 10 years of music? Pigero fails.

Back in Black? Ozzy discovering the talent of Rhodes, Zappa and Wylde? The last good era of 'heavy metal'? New wave? Prince? I'm Rick James bitch? =(

Well of course Eddie Van Halen sucked...self taught...(no offense to you Jimi Hendrix enthusiasts...but face it. Self-Teachers are good song writers that get lucky, not good guitar players overall).

Back in Black? From the viewpoint of a Guitarist, that album is one of the biggest upsets in 80's Rock.

Ozzy was better off in Black Sabbath. And not acting. Or biting off bat's heads.

Self taught doesn't matter. Angus Young learned from watching his brother play, Jimmy Paige only had a few months of technical training, among others. Eddie didn't suck, Malmsteen was just better. Eruption remains the best guitar solo ever.

Back in Black is a classic album. There was something on the radio not too long ago where they played the greatest 100 albums ever, Back In Black came in third. Many people consider Angus Young one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) guitarist ever. The riff to Back in Black is the most popular guitar riff ever. She Shook Me All Night Long has one of the best solos ever recorded. What chu talkin' 'bout Willis? =(

Ozzy was better in Black Sabbath, but through his solo career he discovered the brilliance of Frank Zappa, Zakk Wylde and Randy Rhodes. But yeah, Black Sabbath > Ozzy solo career.
