Which bands should I check out if I really like Ozzy with Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee?

I've been listening to the first four Ozzy Osbourne albums with Rhoads and Lee on repeat for the past couple of weeks. I really love Rhoads' and Lee's approach to rhythm guitar playing. It's full of interesting chord voicings and tasty fills that make potentially stale chord progressions really fun and interesting to listen to.  Which rock and metal bands have similarly creative rhythm guitar playing?

I'd recommend the first couple of Dio albums, for some of Viv Campbell's riffs.

Thanks for the suggestions! Some more guitarists that come to mind when I think of interesting rhythm playing within hard rock and metal:

Van Halen of course

Paul Gilbert (Racer X)

Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)

John Sykes (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Tygers of Pan Tang)

The Cult, especially 'Beyond good and evil,' forgot how good that one sounds.maybe a bit less frenetic, but heavy as.

Greatape

Slightly off the beaten track ( but still 80's hard rock): first four King's X albums. Especially 'Gretchen...'.
