This guys music does NOTHING for me and I've never understood what people see in him. Does that make me crazy?

Are we talking Sabbath-era Ozzy circa 1970-1980, or Ozzy 1980-present?
Both I guess although I mostly mean solo ozzy

Some solo Ozzy is awful. I'm a big Zakk Wylde fan so I love Ozzmosis. No More Tears would have been better or rather would be better if the production was different. It sounds way too 80's. Other than those two and a few select RR songs, Ozzy has been pretty fucking useless other than for comedy (not referring to the TV show, more his drunken stoned antics on tour in the 80's). He's not a great singer and as far as I know doesn't have a musical bone in his body.
Realistically, after Sabbath, he could be in a boy band and I'd still show him the respect he deserves (even though Geezer wrote the lyrics).

No, I hate Ozzy too.
this wouldn't make me feel better.

There is a video on Youtube of Henry Rollins interviewing Ozzy. Superfit, fiercely intelligent, motivated, articulate Henry in schoolboy awe of shambling, incoherent, damaged Ozzy.
Why?

His entire solo career has been a series of reinventing himself...each time a little more ridiculous than the last time. The reality show may have ruined any and all chances of him reinventing himself as a serious musician again, but he is better known now than ever. His solo music is disposable metal at its 'finest.' Its all listenable, but it never touches or inspires one. It does nothing for me, but I get him being popular one hell of a lot more than I get Nickleback selling 4 million records while the PJ record will struggle to get 1 million, the new Sonic Youth's selling about 12 copies and Uncle Neil's new one struggling to get to 500,000!!!

I love the first 4 Black Sabbath albums, but that's really all you need. I have the Ozzy greatest hits, and even that is full of filler. Ozzmosis was suprisingly decent, but other than that I just can't get into it.
Sabbath kicks all kinds of ass though. I've been listening to Master of Reality a lot this week actually.
