In honor of All Hallows Eve, it's Black Sabbath day at my house and time to worship the dark fathers of Doom Metal. Vote for your favourite Sabbath album with Ozzy and have a wicked Halloween
I wanted to put this in the proto lounge but couldn't create a poll there. Since Sabbath are listed in PA as prog related I figured I'd put it here and an admin can move it.

I prefer the original version of this song titled "Walpurgis" - much better, much more sinister, satanic lyrics!
This is great - thanks for posting...I never knew there were alternative lyrics! According to wiki the record label thought the words were "too satanic" and forced a rewrite which became War Pigs. Pretty funny when you consider it was the record label who put the inverted cross artwork on the 1st album to package them as evil without the bands knowledge. Guess Vertigo Records didn't really want to play with the dark side as much as they thought.

I'm going to go with the debut. I heard that Ozzy had a cold or something during his time in the studio for that album, and if that's so, it made him sound a lite more rough and weary, particularly during the acoustic part of "Sleeping Village". It really works for all of these songs.
That album cover gave me nightmares the first time I saw it...such a well conceived image.

Three flecks in the sky warn you you're gonna die Storm coming, you'd better hide from the atomic tide Flashes in the sky turns houses into sties Turns people into clay, radiation minds decay
When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night.

That was my 1st Sabbath album and I used to spend hours staring at the cover...I used to tell friends the back cover with the peaceful scene of the guy dying in bed was the reality and the daemonic front cover represented what was going on in his mind

Probably 'Paranoid' or the debut.
'13' is an admirable attempt at recapturing 'classic' Sabbath and highly recommended to those that aren't familiar with it
