Ozzy Osbourne has never been fond of punk rock, but there is one punk band he actually liked.

Osbourne once said, “ …  It’s the trendies that screw everything up by giving things labels. It’s like the punk movement. It was a great idea, tremendous. But it was cheap to manufacture and a cheap return for the record companies. In the end, they were forgetting what they were putting out.”

He added, “ … Punk was a spinoff of Sabbath. It was anti-establishment. The only band of them I liked was the Sex Pistols; that one album was great, it captured something. But Johnny Lydon, whatever his name is, wants to stop talking and make some f*cking music.”
