Has to be Master of Reality with the debut and Paranoid very close behind
after that, I really don't care for them

My vote had to go to Sabotage. Everything that makes Sabbath great is crammed magically into that album somehow!

Come on, no love for Sabotage? With Symptom of the Universe, probably the single heaviest song in the history of man? And surely the proggers would go for The Writ and Megalomania....not to mention the fantastic Hole in the Sky opening the album! Far and away my favorite Sabbath record....well, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath a relatively close second. (I admit, I've overplayed the first 3 albums so I rarely listen to those anymore) |
Oh, I love Sabotage. When I first heard it, it freaked me out big time. It was some of the heaviest music I'd ever heard. The instrumental Don't Start (Too Late) scared the hell out of me (it's kind of creepy), leading into the heaviest riff of all time, Symptom of the Universe.
It, and Master of Reality, are my favourite albums by Black Sabbath. They're both as doom metally as all hell, and heavy as buggery. They both have this all-emcompassing sense of doom hanging over them.
I also love Vol. 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath a lot. I agree about overplaying. I still love the debut and Paranoid a lot, but I have listened to them a lot of times now. The scary impact they had has dimmed a bit now.
Oh, what the hell, I just love the first six albums by the original lineup! I've give them all a vote, because multiple voting is allowed.

My fav all times Black sabbath album is Heaven and hell, followed by Master of reality (ozzy era) and Headless cross (Martin era), but I like BS almost all minus Born again.

I'm not very familiar with Black Sabbath, so I don't vote. I have heard Paranoid, which is way too heavy for my subtle taste. Volume 4 is a highlight among hard rock albums; it easily hits the 4-star mark for me.

Master Of Reality is my absolute favorite. Close choices: Heaven and hell, Born again, Paranoid, and the debut.

I guess I have to go with Sabotage because they were really pissed at a lot of people when they did that one and it shows.

1. Master of Reality
2. Paranoid
3. Black Sabbath
4. Heaven and Hell
5. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
(And yes, I know the album art for "Born Again" is my avatar, and even though I think it's a great album, it's not in my top 5)

I find it very hard to choose. even though I already had it on vinyl I recently bought the deluxe edition of their 1st album which I've really been enjoying again lately.

Heaven & Hell remains one of my favourite rock albums of all time. Even now, I marvel at how Dio resurrected that band. Close second to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - after all, it did have the maestro on keys

Wow. So few votes for what I always thought was their most acclaimed album (Paranoid).

don't think I've voted in this..
nope.. I haven't..
going with the debut.. but a shout out to Sabotage which has recently been my most listened to Sabbath album. Probably has a lot to do with Symptom of the Universe being neck and neck with Immer Lustig as my favorite track to get the blood flowing on the drive in to work in the morning.

By the way...
Tomorrow will be the 40th birthday of heavy metal: on the 13th of February 1970, Black Sabbath released its first LP.
Celebrate.
