1	Tribute (1987) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne This live double album, released five years after Randy Rhoads' death, showcases a hard rock guitarist whose all-around ability was arguably second only to Eddie Van Halen. Osbourne leads his best band lineup through the entire Blizzard repertoire, plus a few Diary and Sabbath numbers. Of special note are Rhoads' unaccompanied solos, leaving no ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.95!
2	Inhuman Rampage (2006) more music like this by Dragonforce Although they like to call their style "extreme power metal," in actuality Dragonforce is an honest to goodness prog metal band. If you were to mix the lyrics/subject matter of Dio, the guitar work of Yngwie Malmsteen and Iron Maiden (shredding and twin-guitar harmonies, respectively), impeccable double bass thrash metal drumming, and the vocals ... see all copies from $7.04! new only from $15.58!
3	Worlds Collide (2007) more music like this by Apocalyptica Originally four cellists, now three cellists and a drummer, Finnish quartet Apocalyptica have worked hard to become more than a mere covers band since their 1996 debut, Apocalyptica Plays Metallica by Four Cellos. Their early material established them as astute interpreters of the thrash metal genre, finding a gold mine in the tension between ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
4	Paradise Lost (2007) more music like this by Symphony X see all copies from $13.70! new only from $15.70!
5	Plays Metallica by Four Cellos (1996) more music like this by Apocalyptica The premise of a cello-playing four piece (from Finland, no less) performing the music of Metallica may seem outrageous at first, but much of the metal gods' repertoire translates surprisingly well into this "classical" reading. And while Apocalyptica chooses to concentrate on more recent hits like "Enter Sandman," "Sad But True" and "Wherever I ... see all copies from $5.65! new only from $10.13!
6	Bark at the Moon [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne finds a permanent replacement for Randy Rhoads in Jake E. Lee, a more standard metal guitarist without Rhoads' neo-classical compositional ability or stylistic flair. Still, Osbourne and his band turn in a competent, workmanlike set of heavy metal featuring the crunching title track, whose video (featuring Osbourne dressed as a ... see all copies from $8.42! new only from $8.42!
7	Sonic Firestorm (2004) more music like this by Dragonforce One term that is used quite a bit in jazz circles these days is "Young Lions," which refers to young jazz musicians whose work is a throwback to the straight-ahead acoustic jazz of the '40s, '50s, and '60s -- a "Young Lion" might have started recording in the '80s, '90s, or 2000s, but stylistically, they are quite committed to the jazz of previous ... see all copies from $12.83! new only from $12.83!
8	The Essential Ozzy Osbourne (2003) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne Sony Music's "Essential" series of limited-edition two-disc compilations of major artists has been well-assembled generally, and Ozzy Osbourne's increased celebrity following the success of the "reality" TV series The Osbournes justifies his inclusion, as does his string of multi-platinum albums dating back to 1980. The 29-track collection ... see all copies from $13.33! new only from $18.12!
9	Inquisition Symphony (1998) more music like this by Apocalyptica Cello-playing Finnish quartet Apocalyptica's sequel to their well-received first album departs from the safe haven of Metallica covers (only four tracks) and introduces material by other heavy metal bands, and even a few originals. Of the latter, "Harmageddon" is probably the standout track, and while most Metalli-fans will be eager to hear the ... see all copies from $9.43! new only from $13.34!
10	No Rest for the Wicked [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne Things start to improve for Ozzy on No Rest for the Wicked, as Zakk Wylde replaces Jake E. Lee on guitar and Osbourne comes up with his best set since 1983. Again, it's not quite up to the level of excellence his Blizzard of Ozz band achieved, but Osbourne sounds somewhat rejuvenated, and Wylde is a more consistently interesting guitarist than Lee ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
11 view cover	Reflections [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by Apocalyptica From classical cover band devoted exclusively to performing Metallica's symphony-friendly epics to all purpose string ensemble interpreters of other heavy metal bands' music for the cello, to composers of original material fit to mingle with even more metallic translations, Finland's Apocalyptica had come a long way in the span of their first ... see all copies from $11.51! new only from $15.51!
12 view cover	Down to Earth (2001) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne's eighth solo studio album, Down to Earth, shows the madman of rock relying on a supergroup of metal musicians to bring his sound together. Longtime Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde is back, this time with Suicidal Tendencies bassist Robert Trujillo and Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin supplying the rhythm. Despite the ever-changing world ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.50!

14 view cover	Live & Loud (1993) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne has gotten more mileage out of live albums than any other hard rocker because he knows how to play the game. He knows how to make each record special, or at least a little bit different. Usually, this just means showcasing his new guitarist; at other times it just means showing off the new material. With Live and Loud, a double-disc ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.99!
15 view cover	Odyssey (1988) more music like this by Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.71!
16 view cover	Diary of a Madman (1981) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne The follow-up to the masterful Blizzard of Ozz, Diary of a Madman was rushed into existence by a band desperate to finish its next album before an upcoming tour. As a result, it doesn't feel quite as fully realized -- a couple of the ballads are overly long and slow the momentum, and Randy Rhoads' guide solo on "Little Dolls" was never replaced ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $30.39!
17 view cover	Ozzmosis (1995) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne see all copies from $1.99!
18 view cover	Bark at the Moon (1983) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne finds a permanent replacement for Randy Rhoads in Jake E. Lee, a more standard metal guitarist without Rhoads' neo-classical compositional ability or stylistic flair. Still, Osbourne and his band turn in a competent, workmanlike set of heavy metal featuring the crunching title track, whose video (featuring Osbourne dressed as a ... see all copies from $2.97! new only from $7.95!

Lee on guitar and Osbourne comes up with his best set since 1983. Again, it's not quite up to the level of excellence his Blizzard of Ozz band achieved, but Osbourne sounds somewhat rejuvenated, and Wylde is a more consistently interesting guitarist than Lee ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $4.00!
20 view cover	Trilogy (1986) more music like this by Yngwie J. Malmsteen Yngwie Malmsteen's second best album after Rising Force, Trilogy finds him delving wholeheartedly into fantastic, medieval themes and lyrical imagery. Yngwie's compositional skills are at their peak, and of all his albums, the lyrics here contribute the most to the overall feel of the music. The guitar solos, as always, are jaw-droppingly fast and ... see all copies from $4.53! new only from $7.84!
21 view cover	Blizzard of Ozz (1980) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne's 1981 solo debut Blizzard of Ozz was a masterpiece of neo-classical metal that, along with Van Halen's first album, became a cornerstone of '80s metal guitar. Upon its release, there was considerable doubt that Ozzy could become a viable solo attraction. Blizzard of Ozz demonstrated not only his ear for melody, but also an unfailing ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $12.26!
22 view cover	Rising Force (1984) more music like this by Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force Rising Force was a revelation upon its release in 1984; Eddie Van Halen had introduced dazzling speed to the realm of rock guitar technique, and the compositions of Randy Rhoads had begun to fuse heavy metal with neo-classical influences, but no one before Yngwie Malmsteen was able to combine those elements with such blinding virtuosity. Malmsteen ... see all copies from $5.62! new only from $7.45!
23 view cover	Speak of the Devil (1982) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne Immediately following the death of Ozzy Osbourne's dear friend and collaborator Randy Rhoads, tentative plans for a live recording from the Rhoads tours were quickly scrapped. Instead, the deeply troubled singer opted for a pair of one-offs at New York City's Ritz club. No one had any idea what Ozzy would do, and an evening of Black Sabbath covers ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $13.27!
24 view cover	Under Cover (2005) more music like this by Ozzy Osbourne Essentially an amped-up karaoke night in the Osbournes' basement lair, Under Cover is impeccably engineered and effortlessly played -- ex-Alice in Chains axe slinger Jerry Cantrell provides impressive guitar work throughout, making a strong case as to whether this is his baby or Ozzy's. All of the tracks here, with the exception of "Rocky Mountain ... see all copies from $2.30! new only from $4.29!
25 view cover	Marching Out (1985) more music like this by Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force Malmsteen's playing on the follow-up to the epochal Rising Force is slightly more raw and aggressive, but the most notable difference is the addition of lyrics on many of the songs. By his own admission, Malmsteen isn't much of a lyricist, and his frequent use of occult and pagan imagery (demons, Vikings, and so on) isn't as effective at producing ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $7.45!
