One of the favorite bands of my youth.
Master of Reality
Paranoid
Volume IV
Three albums that paved the way for hard rock/heavy metal.
The original lineup with Ozzy Osborne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler & Bill Ward was incredible. To me, the band never was the same after Ozzy left.

No, no one here is a fan of one of the most popular and influential rock bands of all time.

Ha ! Your right...that was a stupid question on my end !
I saw them at Boutwell Auditorium in 1978, last tour with Ozzy before he left. Van Halen opened up for them.
One of the best concerts I've ever seen.

Black Sabbath rocks - have an incredible run of albums that gets overlooked when people talk about that decade IMO.
Also if you listen to some of their recordings from that era - they were awesome live.

Been a fan since the 70’s. Top 3 band of all time for me.
Sabotage might be my favorite album by them. It’s so heavy, so wicked and evil, so trippy. It’s unlike anything I’d ever heard before or in the 40+ years since.

Only a band with the extensive body of work of Black Sabbath could have such a terrific album become criminally overlooked.
And for the record, Heaven and Hell is probably the best Black Sabbath lineup ever. Tony Appice, and no one for that matter, could match Bill Ward's drumming.
Furthermore, and no offense to the Prince of Darkness, Dio is on the Mount Rushmore of heavy metal vocalists.

That is a great album. Especially like that song Symptom of the Universe !

If you haven’t seen it, this is an amazing early performance.
Black Sabbath Live, Paris 1970

Ozzy/Black Sabbath are one of those legends that I'll unfortunately never be able to see. Sabbath's last tour played a bunch of US dates, none close to me. Ozzy just announced a second leg of his tour and of course none are remotely close to me. I don't think Sabbath has played New Orleans since the early 80s with Dio.

Sadly, I never saw Sabbath live, either. Was jacked to see Ozzy with Randy Rhoads in Baton Rouge in the early 80’s, but the Ossie Brown controversy nixed that. Rhoads died shortly after. Saw Ozzy in Baton Rouge later on with Jake E Lee and it was a helluva concert.

He's trying to facilitate conversation, a-hole.
It's nice having conversation here about artists other than trashy white xanax obsessed rappers.

I think blasting "War Pigs" from the cassette player through Jensen Triaxials in my '76 Cutlass Supreme is the reason I have hearing loss today.

What I love is all the great music they made that sounds nothing like typical Sabbath. Songs like my current fave 'The Writ' or 'A Hard Road' that are just insanely good but nothing like the doomy stuff that got everybody's attention.

The song Black Sabbath gave me the creeps as a young teenage music fan.

i heard they were ok. had a really weird singer.

My only complaint about Black Sabbath (at least during their heyday) is the dreadful album covers for the last two Ozzy albums during his first stint.
I mean, WTF?

I actually liked the cover to Never Say Die...probably their weakest album with the original members though.
As far as Technical Ecstasy, the cover is not great but it has two great cuts on it...Dirty Women and Rock N Roll Doctor.

if you haven't heard (austin-based band) brownout's take on some of these tunes (as "brown sabbath"), you really should, it is phenomenal. simultaneously new/inventive and true to the original. ozzy gushed over these guys when he heard them. highly recommended.

brown sabbath vol. 2 (album)

Never Say Die has 3 great songs.
Technical Ecstasy is a total dog.
