Surprised at the vote....thought the first era would romp.  I get off the boat at Masters.
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I love MoR (not so keen on the first or Paranoid) but SBS and Sabotage outweigh it's many good points.
V4 would be great if remastered/remixed so that it didn't sound like they were in a tin can.

First choice for me. I lost interest after MoR.

Dio era all the way.

But out of these Choice two wins.  Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is easily the best Ozzy fronted Sabbath album.

Vol. IV and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are my favorites. The first side of Sabotage is the best work Sabbath has ever done. It flat out rocks. But I think they got stoned and gave up on the second side altogether. There's such a difference between side 1 and 2, It's like they're separate albums.

Have to go with the former 3. Not that the latter 3 don't have their moments.

Early Sabbath for me today, I lean toward those albums a fraction because of the blues roots and the 'Fairies Wear Boots'

First 3 for me.

The debut does so much for me.

The first three.  Master Of Reality is my favourite followed closely by Paranoid and i really like the Bluesy feel of the debut.So it's no contest for me.

I cannot vote in this poll apparently. I'm a longtime ProgArchives person and reviewed tons of albums, but one day my password wasn't working anymore. I guess there's a lock on polls for "new" members? Anyway, my answer is Vol. 4/SBS/Sabotage. But really, what about Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die? Those should not be forgotten, great stuff on each!

No vote from me - I love both these periods, and wouldn´t know how to put one before the other.
Black Sabbath is like a musical big brother to me.

Doom era Sabbath kicks the crap out of Prog era Sabbath, although I do love Sabotage and Volume 4.

Second option. Easy choice.

Sabotage is their best album, imo.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
