Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is by far my favourite of the band's classic Ozzy era, but my absolute favourite from the band is Heaven and Hell - which also ranks as one of my Top 10 albums of all time.

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath it is. Could as well be Sabotage but this time it went this way. 

Ah, multiple votes are allowed, if Born Again doesn't get any, I'll give it one sympathy vote Tongue It's not a great album by any means, but still criminally underappreciated. I rather enjoy The Eternal Idol as well, but the Dio era is still very much a blur for me. There are great songs there but I've heard each of his Sabbath albums only once or twice so far.
It's on PA!

Vintage Sabbath for me. The first 5 are the best IMHO.

Master Of Reality is my favorite even though Vol 4 and Sabotage are probably better.
 
Henry Rollins once likened manic depression to having "the first 6 Black Sabbath albums playing in your head simultaneously".  Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Paranoid has the most hits but I think I have to go with Master of Reality, even though it is so short.  Heaven and Hell is by far the best Dio era album.

For me the debut is their greatest album.  However, I would put Vol 4 a close second.

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath followed by Black Sabbath and Paranoid.

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)

Master Of Reality is my favourite, but Paranoid and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are just as good.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

The debut slighly over the proggier Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
