Never Say Die
 
Whenever on Top Of The Pops , Sabbath used to perform live as opposed to the phoney miming by most. I vividly remember them doing this and the floor looked as though it was shaking.

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

Wheels of Confusion! Great opening track, although I love lots of these.

The most important impact this band has had on my life is that Gov't Mule opened with War Pigs when I saw them and played a version that was very superior to Sabbath's entire discography in my opinion.

what? uncalled for?

And I am obviously not voting....

Black Sabbath on their debut album is a historical piece. The birth of heavy metal right there, my friends. The pouring rain, the church bells, a clap of thunder, and then THAT extremely heavy tritone banned in the medieval church! It doesn't get much more metal than that. Freaked me out when I first heard it, and it still does! It gets my vote. 
 
Hole In The Sky, War Pigs, Sweet Leaf, and Neon Knights are all cool, too.
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

I'll go for 'Neon Knights' although 'Hole in the Sky' is a very close second.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

We don't want to know anything about how you spent your nights with Mary Jane. Show some decency, there are underage people on this forum! Clown

On a more serious subject, I really can't choose : "Black Sabbath" is historical and striking, "War Pigs" is catchy, groovy and devastating, just as "Hole In The Sky"... "Neon Knights" is a bomb...

So, I voted "Trashed".
Silly me.

LOL Mary Jane and i haven't spent any time together for many years, although she keeps calling.
When i went college one of my teachers who was in his late sixties always warned us about smoking mary jane on school property. I guess he didn't notice all the people smoking it in the cafeteria every day.LOL

For me it's gotta be "War Pigs." An absolute stunner that probably could have doubled as a finale. Epic.

I will go to "War Pigs" as a result if it chooses from List.

However, I like melody with the sense of relief of "Wheels Of Confusion".

And, I feel that "The Shining" is a wonderful personally tune. I see the appearance of Cozy Powell that reflects on this promotional film and remember a little deep the deep emotion and having gotten excited.
