I actually like most of their recorded output with a few exceptions.  It's a really tough call for me between Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and H & H as my favorite of theirs.  I'm also quite partial too their debut, Sabotage, Paranoid, Mob Rules, Tyr, Cross Purposes, Dehumanizer, and yes, even Born Again.  Never been too fond of the last two Ozzy outings, the last Martin outing or Seventh Star, although the later Iommi/Hughes album Fused is a huge improvement on 7th and shows that they can work very well together. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Paranoid, the first one i got, and still by far my favorite and one of my all time favorite albums by any band.

Surprised that Never Say Die has no votes from you proggers! Junior's Eyes, Hard Road, Air Dance and Over To You are amazing songs, I even liked Johnny Blade a lot.

I unfortunately haven't had experience with too many Sabbath albums, but with the ones I'm familiar with, Paranoid is my favorite. All of the songs are satisfying, and the guitar riffs are just classic.

I know it's not technically a Sabbath album, but just obtained 'The Devil You Know' from 2009; on first couple of listens, it ranks highly among their other albums, especially the track 'Bible Black'... listening continues...

Master or Reality, no contest for me. It's also in my top ten albums of all time.

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath for me probably because the song writing had matured i.e. in the past many Sabs songs were at the mercy of how memorable the main riff was. I think I owned every Sabbath album up to Technical Ecstasy and although they all have their merits and contain some brilliant songs, they could be a tad patchy in places.

I am enthralled by "Tyr", great songs, fab singing, gorgeous artwork and a glacial feel that has something to do with Valhalla Embarrassed

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
