So we ran a quick poll over the weekend to see what our readers though, and these are the results.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 Glenn Hughes (24 votes, 0.8%)<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s not too surprising that <strong>Glenn Hughes<\/strong> came in fifth. <strong>Hughes<\/strong>&#8216; work with <strong>Deep Purple<\/strong> was fantastic, his stuff on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/black-sabbath\">Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong> guitarist <strong>Tony Iommi<\/strong>&#8216;s 2005 album <em>Fused<\/em> is great, and the dude is still out there fronting <strong>Black Country Communion<\/strong>. But sadly <strong>Hughes<\/strong> legacy with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/black-sabbath\">Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong> is only their 1986 record <em>Seventh Star<\/em> \u2013 a record that was originally supposed to be an <strong>Iommi<\/strong> solo effort and got changed to be a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/black-sabbath\">Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong> album for a wider appeal. <em>Seventh Star<\/em> isn&#8217;t bad, but it&#8217;s hardly <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/black-sabbath\">Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Black Sabbath &amp; Glenn Hughes - Detroit 1986 - Part 1 (CDR)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3QQMEPMQbD4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Black Sabbath &amp; Glenn Hughes - Detroit 1986 - Part 2 (CDR)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t0WoWfvVBdI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4 Ian Gillan (60 votes, 2%)<\/h2>\n<p>Much like <strong>Hughes<\/strong>, <strong>Gillan<\/strong> (<strong>Deep Purple<\/strong>&#8216;s longtime vocalist) was only featured on one <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/black-sabbath\">Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong> album\u2026 and boy, was it a difficult one. Gillan fronted <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/black-sabbath\">Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong> for their 1983 record <em>Born Again<\/em> and had the unfortunate position of filling the void left by vocalist <strong>Ronnie James Dio<\/strong>. <strong>Gillan<\/strong> still did a great job and at least <em>Born Again<\/em> was better received by the public than <em>Seventh Star<\/em>. <strong>Gillan<\/strong> also got to front <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/black-sabbath\">Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong> when they were using their Stonehenge props live.

Or at least between <strong>Dio<\/strong> and <strong>Osbourne<\/strong>. Though I guess when you ask someone who casually enjoys <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/black-sabbath\">Black Sabbath<\/a><\/strong>, <em>Heaven And Hell<\/em> or <em>Dehumanizer<\/em> aren&#8217;t exactly the ones that come to mind. Still, <strong>Dio<\/strong>&#8216;s three albums (<em>Mob Rules<\/em> being the third) are nothing short of stone cold metal classics that showcase a legend in his vocal prime. I mean really, can you imagine cranking out <em>Heaven And Hell<\/em>, <em>Mob Rules<\/em>, <em>Holy Diver<\/em>, and <em>The Last In Line<\/em> all within five years of one another?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Black Sabbath Live New York USA 1980 , Full Concert  - Pro Shot\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wexC2FMVsR4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1 Ozzy Osbourne (1,623 votes, 54.9%)<\/h2>\n<p>Yes.
