For me, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is above all, so an initial vote go for that one.
Btw, my favourite songs from each album are..

The debut for me, followed by nothing here. My next favorite Sabbath's are Master of Reality followed by Paranoi.

Sabotage for me too

Of the above albums Heaven and Hell followed by the first four albums in reverse order and the Mob Rules. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage are nice but (for me at least) indicative of the downward spiral they were in, with the endlessly boring Megalomania being a prime example).

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Bloody Sabbath...
It was my second Sabbath album I got and one of the first 70's albums I've heard. I remember putting my used LP copy on the turntable, and when that first distorted riff came out I thought "Now that's how a guitar should sound..."

SBS was one of the first albums I ever bought, and is still my favourite Sabbath 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.

Black Sabbath: Black Sabbath. All other Sabbath albums are merely followers of their Satanic spell.

This was tough. It was between SBS and H&H. I love both, but my allegiance to RDJ falters not. 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 have just got a bit into Black Sabbath this year. However, though there are many songs I have liked, the whole albums just don't do it so well for me. I guess my favourites so far have been the live albums "Live Evil" and "Reunion", since they have most of my favouirte songs, and sound so much better than the studio versions (too bad that the song Heaven & Hell is split between songs on Live Evil).

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).

As I said in OP, my fav is SBS, but my second fav - very close - is TE, which is a VERY underrated album IMO; Sabotage comes on third place.

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.

Sabotage. A nice link between early metal and the later New Wave of British Heavy Metal developed by bands like Judas Priest. Plus, I think this album has Ozzy delivering his best vocal performance.
------------- He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball!

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.

Difficult to choose for me between Sabotage and SBS but it has to be Sabotage because of Megalomania and The Writ

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

Bloody
Master
Para
Sabo
Heaven
------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Sabotage
Vol 4
Paranoid
Black Sabbath
Master Of Reality
Technical Ecstacy
Never Say Die
Dont listen to the post Ozzy stuff but a nod to Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules and Born Again.
Edit: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath or Sabotage is always a tough call for number 1!

But I lost interest after Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

Loved that creepy vibe of the debut and the fuzzy guitar of Paranoid. By Masters, I'm saturated with the sound; good album, but a definite drop excitement-wise from the first two. After Masters, I get off the boat.
