Ozzy or Dio? Read THIS Before You Decide
I found the book excellent in its detail given from all the band member's interviewed, clearing up all the holes and rumors floating around over the years... The book should be in any Sabbath or Ozzy fans collection due to the array of pictures within, some never before seen concert shots as well as promotional pictures and offstage shots. Loaded with interviews from the array of band members that took part in this battle, reading what really went on in their own words... clearing up much of the void and silence on some subjects.

How about an intra-band singer controversy?

This one is probably laughable, but...
Roth or Hagar? Maybe It's The Van Halen Story That Really Matters...
Everybody Wants Some: The Van Halen Saga
Amazon Price: $5.00 (as of 05/29/2012)
How did a pair of little Dutch boys trained in classical music grow up to become the nucleus of the most popular heavy metal band of all time? What's the secret behind Eddie Van Halen's incredible fast and furious guitar solos? What makes David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar so wacky? And, are all those stories about groupies, booze bashes, and contract riders true? The naked truth is laid bare in Everybody Wants Some--the real-life story of a rock 'n' roll fantasy come true.

- Iced Earth has also gone through several vocalists, including Matt Barlow and "Ripper" Owens, right after his stint with Priest.
Cool lens; it was interesting to see the results!

- I thought of one that you missed. That is INXS. Do people prefer INXS with the late Micheal Hutchins or the new guy? Sorry, I can't remember the current lead singer of INXS.

- Some interesting toss ups. The toughest one i think is the AC/DC one as both totally rock.
