1. Vol. 4
2. Paranoid
3. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
4. Black Sabbath
5. Mob Rules (yeeea)

I've never been a fan of "Master", and Sabotage would probably be placed at #6.

Wow.  Glad to see someone give some love to Born Again.  That album usually gets "Trashed".

I'm pretty Ozzy-centric when it comes to Sabbath.   The Dio and Gillan stuff are pretty good too, though.

^^Right now it's my favorite BS actually.  Played it yesterday and I just adore it.  In my list I'm giving respect to the albums that I've loved overall through the years, but at this very moment Born Again is the one I play most often.

Wow, a TE fan!

Snowie, TE and NSD are the two I'm least familiar with.  I always assumed they were fairly similar albums....not so?

So far I'm the only one who's shown any love for the Martin era.  Not as much love for the Dio era as I'd have expected either.
 
Born Again is a great album.  The title track, Trashed and Zero the Hero are probably my favorites.  Love the extended Stonehenge on the deluxe edition as well.

I don't like  Never Say Die much so I personally don't hear it. I have only become aware that TE is not a highly regarded album since joining PA. I bloody love it. I had the LP and it was the first Sabbath I bought on CD. It is not like the first six though.

Never Say Die

Like Snowdog, The first time I saw negative reviews of the two last Ozzy albums is when I joind PA.

About your question Jim, they do go quite well together but no I wouldn't say they were similar (although NSD's title track could easily fit TE). Definitely worth investigating further more if your a Sabbath fan (and I think you are).

Just revisiting some tracks from "The Mob Rules" and remembered how much I like that album too.  I'm still not sure it'd be in my top 5 but I thought I'd mention it anyway.  Falling off the Edge of the World is righteous.

Top 5 songs, all 1st line-up. My rating of the albums isn't worth much because they've put several hooks in the midst of tracks that don't have me.

4. Dehumanizer
5. Seventh Star ~ The Eternal Idol (TIE)
 
I do love the Ozz albums, but I enjoy the Martin stuff quite a bit, too. The Dio albums are tops for me.
