I'm going to assume I can go ahead......
For my Heavy / Metal pick, I'm going to take

This is a pretty darn solid album, top to bottom, and is the followup to Bark at The Moon. This got a lot of play by me after it was released.
"Shot in the Dark" was the big single from the album, and does seem a bit different that the rest of the tracks, seeming a bit more polished to my ear. I'm not a fan of Ozzy's vocal on Killer of Giants, but I really like the instrumental underneath. Lightning Strikes is a straight ahead Ozzy song that need to be listened to loud. "Thank God For The Bomb" has the lines "Today was tomorrow yesterday, It's funny how the time can slip away" and it drives me nuts because that specific lyric has stuck in my head ever since the first time I heard it.
