Which Black Sabbath frontman is your favorite? I am aware that there is still Dave Walker, David Donato, and Ray Gillen but they made no records with Sabbath or anything else for that matter. I am sticking to the ones who are known and made records with them

I almost voted for Ronnie. I think he def has the better voice but no one but Ozzy who's sang for Sabbath would justice to songs like Black Sabbath ,Snow Blind ,Juniors Eyes and quite a few others.

I think it's good that Heaven & Hell is Dio-Sabbath, because I see it as 2 totally different concepts.

I'm an Oz er too. Hey, guess I haven't kept up........Glen Hughes sang with Sabbath? Did he play bass with them too? I loved him with Trapeze and Deep P.          Buddy

Voting on a Black Sabbath vocalist is truely difficult. Not fair! Lol. For me, I went with OZZY. But, DIO is also my favorite Black Sabbath vocalist. Both singers brought their own unique spin to the band. But, it is obvious that OZZY is still hailed as the King of Doom Metal.  Ozzy's stamp is all over the band, as well as Iommi's guitar. When listening to a Sabbath LP with Ozzy vocals, wow! Sit back and feel the darkness. Black Sabbath's titled LP says it all. The first track, Black Sabbath, now that particular song really shows Ozzy's vocals. Although we all know that DIO is an amazing singer, he can not even come close to Ozzy on many classic Sabbath songs. It's just not the same feeling or experience.                                                                                                                                             To me, DIO shines more on Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules. Those are DIO's trademark Sabbath albums. He(DIO), most definitely brought a new and different element to Sabbath.
