10 Most Underrated Ozzy Osbourne Songs
6. My Little Man - Ozzmosis
Ozzy seemed to be in a bit of a lull period around the turn of the '90s. After the industrial boom and nu metal age set everything off and running, the eerie sounds of Ozzy's baritone wasn't the greatest fit when sitting next to bands like Korn or Coal Chamber (even though they tried). At the same time, Ozzmosis contains one song that could have kicked the next era of Ozzy into overdrive.
On the surface, there's something about My Little Man that doesn't really feel like a full-blown Ozzy cut. I mean, sure, you definitely have Ozzy's vocal mannerisms and trademark rasp in there, but the melody seems like it could have been made by someone else entirely. Well...there's actually a missing link in the writing credits of this song, given that this track was originally supposed to be a collaboration with guitarist Steve Vai.
Seeing how his eccentric personality behind the fretboard was all the rage amongst guitar players, the idea of having someone like that playing with the Prince of Darkness for an entire album would have been phenomenal. The original scheduling plans fell through though, leaving this song as the only remnant of the sessions. Though Ozzmosis is a pretty solid release from Ozzy, this one amazing song just makes you wonder how great it could have been if things had worked themselves out.
