Caribbean Queen has a remarkably mediocre verse relative to the chorus.

Really? I think it's an adequately catchy verse in a rather ordinary song.
If we're talking great BO, it has to be "Red Light Spells Danger", super tune and insanely great vocal.

I love that tune and it's the best thing he has ever done. It has the feel of a much earlier 60s motown tune. Utterly brilliant.

I love the "phasing" on the vocals, sounds great with headphones. And correct about the Motown thing. I've seen Billy getting short shrift on here but that is a top notch tune in every department.

The local classic rawk station just played Crazy Train followed by some crappy Phil Collins song (are there any other kind?) and I thought DJ Heston's in the House!

Surely you can't be denying Crazy Train?

There's your problem right there. You can touch that dial.

No but to follow it up with such a crap SRP song, WTF. Although commercial stations in this country are all auto programmed so the DJ has little to no input.
As an old Sabbath fan who felt let down by Never Say Die I was pretty excited by the first Ozzy album. I remember hearing an early demo, I think of Crazy Train and another song on the radio probably a year before the album came out and being pretty excited.

I got the train up to Newcastle to see him on the tour for the first album but it was sold out, I remember being really disappointed as I expected there to be tickets on the door.

Is it a wrong opinion to very much enjoy the Bono/Edge penned Roy Orbison tune "She's a Mystery to Me"? Of the comeback hits, I think it's a bit less of a rehash than "You Got It."

Now I love "You Got It", it has one of those orgasmic vocal parts after the "do do do do do" bits.
Mystery is a bit plodding in comparison.

I agree, You Got It is a classic.
