I assume you have heard much of his other music, cause it's hard to escape it (Crazy Train for instance). But as far as other albums go I think Diary of a Madman, Blizzard of Oz and even Bark at the Moon have individual songs that are, IMHO, superior to anything on No More Tears. And as a matter of fact, I think I prefer No Rest for the Wicked to No More Tears. NMT sounds too polished and overproduced, and the songs really leave me thinking something is missing.

Really?  I agree with you that BoO, DoaM, BatM and even NRftW have a few stand out tracks.  I even like some of what was on TUS.  But for me No More Tears is where it is at.  And the polished sound is fitting for the era and the man - Ozzy isn't underground, he's a platnium artist.  His records have to sound a certain way for radio play.   For me this album moves together nicely where as the rest of his output is only good as a Greatest Hits type deal.  I find myself listening to NMT to it's entirety.

Still, my all time favorite Ozzy song is Bark at the Moon.

I can't stand his solo career.

I don't know how people actually give this guy any respect. Being the vocalist of Sabbath (a terrible vocalist at that), without writing songs or lyrics, doesn't justify all the people who say "he invented metal".

What you used to love now, you're gonna adore. With Charmin Ultra, less is more. Cha Cha Cha, Charmin.
