No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Of the early albums, I find the debut and Paranoid to be on the borderline of Hard Rock and Metal, while the others are Metal to me. I also use to list Paranoid as my fave Metal BS album. |

We'll hear what David has to say, but for me... I would call Black Sabbath both "hard rock" and "heavy metal" based on the 1970 to 1975 period which I know best, and some other stuff, which also has doom metal qualities. Heavy metal being a kind of development of hard rock, music can be described as both. And geologically-speaking, heavy metals may be found in hard rocks. :) I felt confident in having Black Sabbath's debut as one of my choices, and would have with Paranoid and others too. |

Rush - self-titled ACDC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap ACDC - Highway to Hell (sorry, had to pull two albums from those boys) LZ - Presence BOC - Agents of Fortune Heart - Bebe Le Strange Runaways - Queens of Noise Van Halen - Fair Warning Fanny - Charity Ball Billy Squier - Don't Say No Dio - Holy Diver Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced I can't say those are my very "top" ones, but rather the ones that came to mind first. It would take hours to ensure the word "top" was accurate. Since I ran out of space before getting to Sabbath, I'll save them for a metal list.

I went with a baker's baker's dozen. A baker's dozen is when you ask for a dozen and they throw in one more for free. A baker's baker's dozen is when you ask for a baker's dozen while giving the secret flour signal which involves snorting and sneezing-out flour, although cocaine can fool some. Don't try it (imposters get kneaded and rolled)! That indicates that you are a member of the secret fraternity of bakers and gets you an extra extra for free.
Message - From Books and Dreams (1973) Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti (1975) Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (1970) Damnation of Adam Blessing - The Damnation of Adam Blessing (1970) Black Widow - Sacrifice (1970) Yesterday's Children - Yesterday's Children (1970) Satori - Flower Travellin' Band (1971) High Tide - Sea Shanties (1969) Gun - Gun (1969) Armageddon - Armageddon (1975) Atomic Rooster - Death Walks Behind You (1970) Lucifer's Friend - Lucifer's Friend (1971) Morgen - Morgen (1969) Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Solar Fire (1974) Sir Lord Baltimore - Kingdom Come (1970) EDIT: And added another (for 15) as I forgot to mention Black Widow. Counting is for Sesame Street... They call me The Count because I love to count. Edited by Logan - December 15 2024 at 13:56 |
