Favourite Black Sabbath album?

[DariaÂ]

What is your favourite Sabbath album and why? Each new singer that has joined the band has brought something new to the sabbath sound for better or worse. Don't just vote, we need a reason!

My favourite Ozzy era album was Paranoid (cliche I know ). It was the first Sabbath I ever heard and I still feel the musical earthquake I felt when I first heard the album.

My favourite Dio era is definitely Heaven and Hell.


I guess I have to go with Paranoid overall.

Well, as far as metal goes I'm not a big fan of the fast/screamy/growly/macho/cock-rockin' varieties I tend to go more for the atmospheric, sludgy, dark vibes which I think Black Sabbath peaked with on Master of Reality. Also, Into the Void is one of my favorite songs ever.

i loved paranoid.. it just plain rocked

to tell the truth i only have the greatest hits albums, so i dunno....but any sabbath without ozzy is horrible in my opinion

[OddLay]

I beg to differ. I think Black Sabbath was at its best with RJD as the singer. I am not saying Ozzy is bad, I just think that it was at its prime with Dio.

But my vote goes to Heaven and Hell, hanRAB down. That album is just.....just....what's the word I am looking for....oh yea!

Amazing!

Ditto for me on the Sabbath tune. Definitely my favourite track of theirs.

As a big stoner doom fan, Paranoid is the 'well from whence it came,' so it gets my vote.

I hate dio so I'm gonna go with paranoid.

I agree: Master of Reality is the best; it is such a pioneering album.
"Into the Void" is also one of my all-time favourites.
