Yes, in "Sabbra Cadabra".

But Tony Iommi played lots of keyboards himself, even the good old mellotron!

I'm more a fan of the Dio Sabbath, which has been accused of releasing two good but uninspiring albums. I think they were a much tighter band with Dio, and had Tony and Ron gotten along a little better this lineup could have been as big as they were with Ozzy.

1) Mob Rules

2) Black Sabbath

3) Heaven and Hell

4) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

5) Sabotage

I've always considered Ozzy & Dio to be completely different, and consequently, the Sabs were really two different bands which can't easily be compared.  I heard a fabulous Fates Warning cover of 'Sign of the Southern Cross' a couple of days ago, which reminded me how much I used to enjoy that track when I was younger.  Favourite Ozzy Album?  Possibly Masters of Reality.......

"Sabotage". Has tho be their most progressive album too. "Megalomania" and "The writ" are excellent prog metal.

Didn't Rick Wakeman play on "Sabbath bloody sabbath" if I remember correctly?

What's your favourite Sabbath album? And do you prefer the Ozzy-era or the Dio-era (which was quite short but produced some great music)? Well ok, I guess the latter question was really silly as most people will naturally prefer the Ozzy-era albums, since they're the greatest heavy metal abums ever!!

My top 5 is probably something like this..

1. Paranoid
2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
3. Master of Reality
4. Black Sabbath
5. Heaven and Hell
