“Suicide Solution” by Ozzy Osbourne

"Suicide Solution" sits on Blizzard of Ozz, the debut album Ozzy Osbourne put out on Jet Records in September 1980, and it's a heavy, grinding warning about the bottle. In 1991 Osbourne tied it to AC/DC's Bon Scott, whom drink had killed in 1980, but Bob Daisley later said the words were aimed at Osbourne himself, a caution to anyone drinking their way toward an early grave.

Randy Rhoads built the riff out of one he had used in Quiet Riot on "Force of Habit". Osbourne sings lead, Daisley plays bass and adds backing vocals, Lee Kerslake drums and Don Airey plays keyboards. Osbourne, Rhoads and Daisley share the writing credit, and the four of them produced it themselves, with Max Norman engineering.
