Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

The debut, Paranoid might have dominated this had it been included though.

Vol.4 unfortunately is not here and it is without any doubt one of my very favourite albums, even though Spiral Architect (from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath) is my very favourite Black Sabbath track, and what a proggy song it is!, followed then by Snowblind, Wheels Of Confusion_The Straightener (just love this instrumental!), Under The Sun Every Day Comes, The Thrill Of It All from Sabotage (one of the best dynamics, just thrilling guitars!), Killing Yourself to Live and Tomorrow's Dream (both from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath). Who Are You? is the most odd Sabbath's song I ever listened to.
 
Having that said, Paranoid followed by Technical Ecstasy - I like: Fairies Wear Boots (my fave from Paranoid), War Pigs, Paranoid, Planet Caravan, Gipsy, Dirty Women (the guitars closing it are just amazing!) and You Won't Change Me.

 

From the s/t I still don't know Warning and Sleeping Village, enjoy only Behind The Wall Of Sleep, and I prefer the version of NIB sung by Dio in the Live Evil show.

 

Another album worth mentioning which is not here too is Master of Reality, the trio Children Of The Grave-Orchid-Lord Of This World is indeed very good, and I'm looking forward to know the track Solitude.

The Ozzy/Dio/Martin albums shouldn't really be compared because they all sound so different. Plus, I think Seventh Star (really meant to be Iommi's first solo) with Glenn Hughes is underrated. I rather want to get this Seventh Star album too, since I like how Glenn Hughes sings. Too bad the special edition with live track included have another singer instead of Hughes, for otherwise it would have sealed the deal. I guess I should also get Born Again, but the special edition too, for that one does have the live tracks with Ian Gillan (actually, I'm more interested in that album because of the live bonus tracks than because of the main album).

For those who like Seventh Star, I highly recommend the Iommi/Hughes album Fused. IMO it is superior to Seventh Star as it has a much heavier approach.

The debut album.

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Vol. 4 for me, and then the first side of Sabotage. Those meant the most to me back in the day.
