Cosmo Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 VERY hard list for me to make, as Ozzy-era Sabbath is, alongside Rush, my favourite band of all time. But let’s try: 1- Into the Void 2- War Pigs 3- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 4- Megalomania 5- Wheels of Confusion 6- Hole In The Sky 7- Under The Sun 8- Spiral Architect 9- Hand of Doom 10- N.I.B IMO, there has never been, and there will never be, another perfect run of 6 albums like their first 6. They’re all perfect. It’s what they say: You can only trust yourself and the first six Black Sabbath albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symptom of the Universe I’d say Sabotage is probably my favourite out of the 6 first Sabbath albums, but I’m not 100% sure.

I wouldn't go that far personally, but for me the Ozzy era is firmly my third favorite, behind Dio, and Tony Martin v1. The heavier stuff resonates with me a lot more along with the more operatic vocals, and I think some of Tony's most inspired guitar work comes from those albums. That's not to say I don't like the Ozzy era, but for me only a spattering of songs after Master Of Reality really hooks me. Anyways, my list: 1. Falling Off The Edge Of The World 2. Sign Of The Southern Cross 3. Under The Sun 4. Headless Cross 5. War Pigs 6. Heaven And Hell 7. Computer God 8. Symptom Of The Universe 9. When Death Calls 10.

pbj_jam Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 It's Into The Void innit for multitude of reasons, lot of their stuff is tops tho' specially their early work. Most of it played to death, you eventually come around again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies They Tell Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Not gonna lie, I'm a VERY casual Black Sabbath fan. Don't know that many of their songs and couldn't name a single non-Ozzy Black Sabbath song from the top of my head. But I like top 10 lists, so I'll make my own anyway. 1. Children of the Grave 2. Supernaut 3. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 4. Iron Man 5. War Pigs 6. Paranoid 7. God is Dead 8. Sweet Leaf 9. Hole in the Sky 10. Symptom of the Universe And yes, I plan to explore Black Sabbath's discography more thoroughly when I have the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimisbatman Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I've been getting into post ozzy BS alot recently and think Born Again is my fav BS album, I know that's sacrilege to say.

The thing that brings it down for a lot of people is the production, most agree the music is great. As for post-Eternal Idol, it's gotta be Headless Cross for me. Some of Tony's heaviest, most evil riffs, great vocals from Tony Martin, lyrics lean heavy into the occult, plus a fun guest spot from Brian May. Even taking the post-Eternal Idol criteria out of consideration, Headless Cross is one of my favorite Sabbath albums full stop. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Where's Iron Man, you heathens. Also, War Pigs is probably the best one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know, I read alot of fans on YouTube chastise the album with little explanation. And the production is very very poor. Really looking forward to remix/re-release now that iommi has the masters. I'll check out the Headless Cross album after Eternal Idol, which is definitely growing on me. Thanks.
