Music: Favorite Black Sabbath album?

[Azathoth]

Paranoid with Black Sabbath as a close second. For some reason Dio era Sabbath never really clicked with me.

 

[scott clam]

Give me Sabotage or Master of Reality, depending on what day it is.

This song cannot be played loud enough. FANTASTIC song!

The song is great overall, but my favorite part is the drums...I feel like I want to ride into combat on a dragon when they start rolling.

 

[The Macho King]

Heaven and Hell. Dio >>>>> Ozzy come at me.

 

[Dan Kelly]

Master of Reality

 

[Dan Kelly]

...

 

[cupcrazyman]

The one after they fired Ozzy lol

 

[angusyoung]

This will make no sense, but to me Heaven and Hell is better than any Black Sabbath album, but isnt the best Black Sabbath album. Figure that out lol,

My vote goes to master of Reality.

 

[angusyoung]

Heaven & Hell



So ****ing good. Dio era is the most consistent era, by far.

Only 2 albums, thanks for stopping by.

 

[Communal Blood]

Only 2 albums, thanks for stopping by.

Three, actually.

 

[angusyoung]

Three, actually.

Who's counting the 3rd.

 

[Metroid]

I'm on the heaven and hell train, crazy I know.

 

[Hivemind]

Who's counting the 3rd.

Everyone. Dehumanizer was released under the Black Sabbath name and featured Dio on vocals. It was a banger, too.


I can understand arguments for not counting The Devil You Know as the 4th Dio-era album, as it wasn’t actually released under a Black Sabbath moniker. But it should count as well, IMO. Also a great album.



In other words, you’re all sorts of wrong about their being only 2 albums in the Dio era.

TETO. Different circles and all, it all became a bit of a joke the way things played out. The composition and material varied greatly depending on which singer was involved. The original line up was Sabbath and altered when Dio stepped in and then ,well you know the rest of the story.

 

[Legionnaire]

Ozzy Sabbath and Dio Sabbath are totally different bands. Yet, the arguments about Sabbath albums with two entirely different front men continues. Sabbath for me will always be Ozzy, Iommi, Ward and Butler.

1. Black Sabbath
2. Sabotage
3. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
4. Master of Reality
5. Vol 4.
6. Paranoid
7. Never Say Die
8. Technical Ecstasy

1. Heaven & Hell
2. Mob Rules
3. Dehumanizer

Oh and PS:

I have THE perfect ringtone which is a Sabbath tune. Guess which one?

 

[Captain Bowie]

Paranoid. It has War Pigs.

 

[Ozz]

I'll bite - which?

 

[Legionnaire]

I'll bite - which?

"Who Are You?"

Am I right or am I right? Intro sounds just like a ringtone and as it continues to ring Ozzy starts asking "Who Are You?"

 

[plank]

Just trying to keep it current...

Common consensus seems to be split among their first four albums. What do you think?

Also, general Black Sabbath discussion, hopefully.

What's your favorite Sabbath album?

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

What's your favorite Sabbath album?

So far it’s Master of Reality. Have only that one, s/t, and Paranoid so far.

"Who Are You?"

Believe it or not, this is the first song that popped into my head although it was the intro.

I remember the first time I heard this song; I was a teen in the mid-90s and had an 3-disc "Ozzy Years" compilation which filled in the blanks from the CDs I already had. It was really cheap so it was a more accessible way than buying all $20 CDs at the time. Anyway, I heard that synth intro and was like "whaaaaaaaaaaa?" Still a cool song that almost never gets any attention.

I was using Fairies Wear Boots as a wake up alarm for a while. Worked pretty well, one of my fav Sabbath songs.
