I've only heard Mob Rules so I can't really pick a favourite here. It does remind me, though, that there is a rather newer German heavy metal band called "Mob Rules" after the album... wouldn't it be more grammatically sound if that band had just been called "Mob Rule" instead?

Mob Rules is probably my favourite Sabbath album with Dio, although Heaven and Hell has my favourite Sabbath song "Lady Evil".

I understand why Dehumanizer is not listed among the choices...
H&H, followed by...The devil you know (I know it was not yet available at the time the poll was created).

Heaven and Hell is the only Sabbath album I ever purchased. It is that good.

I support "Mob Rules".
The quality is not bad.
As for the quality of the overall tune, room is felt by me.
By the way, I like "Lonely Is The Word".

Where's Dehumaniser and The Devil You Know (yeah, yeah, I know its called Heaven and Hell, but the band on that record is basically the Mob Rules/Dehumaniser lineup of Sabbath) on the poll?
Anyway, I vote Heaven and Hell. Probably in my top five Sabbath albums ever, Ozzy era or post-Ozzy.
Heaven and Hell- 11/10 Mob Rules- 9/10 Dehumanizer- 7/10 The Devil You Know- 7/10

Went with Mob Rules, every bit as good as H&H for me, only less iconic.
H&H was a revelation, Mob the confirmation.

Nope. Not a metal fan and I really cannot stand Ozzy's voice. The first album has some good musical qualities but I also felt the songs are dumbed down a lot from Paranoid on.
