These 2 albums are one of my Sabbath's faves, for 1 reason, well maybe more but 1 of them is the Progression the band made from their first up to these. These albums IMO are Heavy Prog, but this poll is not to move them to there just to know which album is considered by Prog fans the CLOSEST thing to Heavy Prog.
Surely Paranoid and their debut had 1 or 2 very Proggy songs, but the band was really a Heavy Rock band in the 70's. Eg: War Pigs.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath for me it is. 6 songs out of 8 have at least some Prog elements, and each goes out through more than 5 minutes, with A LOT of time changes! Compared to their earlier stuff, or at least Rock in general. Sabotage on the other hand has 2 mini-"epics", which are very proggy as well, so it's a difficult choice.. but my vote, as I said before goes to the OVERALL Proggier Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
EDIT: Oh one more thing, I was conscious about the section where this poll to be. I did it on Prog Polls cause I thought it was the most suitable because this poll is about Sabbath's PROGGY albums and not just Music in General, though if you have to move it I have no dilema.
