What are your top ten favourite songs from this legendary and influential band?

Mine in alphabetical order:

Children of the Grave
Electric Funeral
Hand of Doom
Into the Void
Planet Caravan
Solitude
Symptom of the Universe
Under the Sun
War Pigs
Wheels of Confusion

On another day I might have picked one or two others but no more than that. 

You can, of course, pick songs from any era of the band, not just the early stuff.

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Zero the Hero 
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Lord of This World
Who Are You
Wheels of Confusion/ The Straightener
Age Of Reason
Under the Sun/ Every Day Comes and Goes
Spiral Architect
All Moving Parts (Stand Still)
Planet Caravan

Boy, that was hard. There's so many more I could add and that list could well change if I remember some obvious ommission.

I would have liked to squeeze something else from "13" in. I really think that album is a solid return to form despite the absence of Bill Ward.

Struggled to come up with even nine of what I would consider fully fledged 'songs'. Sabbath's legacy rests mainly upon Iommi's riffs, some of which created entire careers for those that came in their wake.

Black Sabbath
the Wizard
Children of the Grave
Supernaut
Killing Yourself to Live
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Symptom of the Universe
God Is Dead?
Wicked World

I get your point but strongly disagree. 

Keep 'em lists coming. Nice to see some less obvious (to me, that is) choices from everyone this far. 

From blatant Sabbath-followers, Sleep are my favourite.
