For "O," especially in October, you can look no further than the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne. The Ozzman has a plethora of hard rock and metal classics that you can hear on classic rock and hard rock radio stations.
His debut solo album, Blizzard of Ozz, hit the shelves a little over 34 years ago, in September 1980, and eventually went platinum four times over. It gave us what is probably Ozzy's most recognizable solo song, "Crazy Train," as well as another Ozzy staple, "Mr. Crowley," and the infamous "Suicide Solution," which is unfortunately famous, not because it's a sad commentary about AC/DC frontman Bon Scott's death by alcohol or Ozzy's own struggles with alcohol abuse, but because a depressed teenager allegedly killed himself listening to the song, and then his parents sued Ozzy, claiming their son's death was his fault. Thankfully, the case was dismissed on First Amendment grounds.
