Under the Sun6. Follow the Tears7. Mob Rules8. Turn Up the Night9. I10. Children of the GraveAlso, completely irrelevant to the question, Megalomania as a song does not get the credit it deserves.

bran Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 megalomania is a masterpiece sabotage as a whole doesnt get the respect it deserves, it is my second favorite sabbath album only behind heaven and hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I don't think I could make a list. That being said, when the main riff of The Sign Of The Southern Cross kicks in, it's an unbelievable moment for a song. I saw that live in 2007 and it floored me.

Kill Devil Hill Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 megalomania is a masterpiece sabotage as a whole doesnt get the respect it deserves, it is my second favorite sabbath album only behind heaven and hellExactly. Honestly, Megalomania is probably my favorite Sabbath song, or at least it's up there with Die Young and When Death Calls.And Planet Caravan. I can't believe I forgot Sign of the Southern Cross, though. I'm not sure if it'd make the top 10, but it's certainly my favorite element of the song.

Johnny Drama Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 ok i know it maybe impossible no one person has written and laid down as many memorable riffs as tony iommi Full credit to the man, but I think Keith Richards, Hendrix and James Hetfield might have something to say there.

Prove it you laughing retard.What has Hetfield done that wasn't radio fluff since And Justice For All? I mean, I'll completely agree that he used to be awesome. Used to be.But what the fuck does that even mean? Does Keith still put out groundbreaking riffs? No. Has Tony Iommi done anything worth a shit in 30 years? No. Everyones got their time and place...and while we're on the topic of riff monsters, i'd further like to nominate Dimebag and Jerry Cantrell. The latter of whom is still a fuckin' beast.

TeeJay410 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 So long as "sabbath blood sabbath" and "black sabbath" are on the list it likely will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
