Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath. Seriously, whoever said Randy Rhoads is sadly misinformed. Paranoid was written in 1970 by Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and Ozzy Osbourne. At this point Randy Rhoads was only just forming his first band, a covers band called Violet Fox. He would record with Quiet Riot in the late 70s (by which point Paranoid was a heavy rock standard) and only come to prominence with Ozzy in 1980. During his tenure with Ozzy, he certainly did play Paranoid a good few times... but he didn't write it.

^^^^^actually if u wanna get technical butler pretty much wrote the song Ozzy never wrote jack besides the harmonica in wizard
