When I was about 10 yrs old, I was in the truck with dad, and we were listening 94.9 zeta (south Florida radio station which is no longer around 😕) and Iron Man came on. My dad,.knew very well that I had never heard this song, but he messed with me like a dude might mess with his friend "oh man you've never heard this?!" [That's when he cranked it] Either that night or the next, me, my dad and my mom, all went to this discount department store called Mcdoogles (out of business now, and was going out of business then) and my dad saw this tape cassette tower and spun it around and sure enough PARANOID and MASTER OF REALITY were there,.he grabbed both of them without even thinking twice. We listened to both of those cassettes for weeks in the garage. I think I'm from the last generation to buy and listen to cassettes, in the garage, watching my dad trying to play along to SWEET LEAF, and figuring it out in a few hours on my 135$ ibanez RX. being a kid was great!

Black Sabbath definitely deserve to be acknowledged as the Godfathers of Heavy Metal music. In my opinion their whole catalog is amazing in their own way with every different lead singer.

What "scared" the hippies away was the anti-hippie, anti-black CIA/FBI plots known as the Manson murders and COINTELPRO. Metal music reverberated the death and destruction of The Vietnam War as far as I'm concerned. Hendrix and The Rolling Stones lit that fuse of fury into the evolving world of Rock and ultimately paved the way for the sounds of authentic satanic music from Covenant and their song titled.. Black Sabbath. These are the translated sounds of The 'televised' Vietnam War through music.

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is my all time favorite Black Sabbath album hands down...I love all the Ozzy era Sabbath albums, even Technical Ecstacy & Never Say Die, which admittedly aren't their strongest albums, but Sabbath Bloody Sabbath rules them all in my opinion...I bought it because I was in church, of all places, (I was about 14 at the time) and there was an evangelist guest preacher who was absolutely anti rock n roll & he was preaching against every band I loved...which didn't bother me because I knew he didn't know what he was talking about...anyways, he was showing a slideshow of different rock bands & album covers & when he showed the cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath & proclaimed it to be the most satanic album cover of all time, I immediately said to myself, that's gotta be an awesome record...I gotta get that one! And it has remained my favorite album ever since! I thank that preacher all the time for letting me know about that wonderful album...Who says you can't have fun going to church?

That album got me through 4 years in the Navy while working evening and/mid shifts, cranking it LOUD! Favorite cuts: After Forever, Children of the Grave and Lord of this World. Did I mention I've been a Christian this whole time? Though their music was heavy, and I was into it, I've never been tempted to do drugs, smoke or drink to excess (okay, I have gotten drunk on a few occasions) but if you're well grounded, music won't sway you to do things you ordinarily wouldn't.

That includes Ian Gillan, Glenn Hughes, and most importantly Ronnie James Dio and Tony Martin by not remastering and re releasing every record Black Sabbath made from 1980 onwards to pass it off like Black Sabbath broke up when Ozzy left. All because of the fact that Ozzy was jealous and insecure that Black Sabbath was still able to achieve success after kicking his drug addicted ass to the curb for being a massive flake since the Sabotage album and Sharon is going out of her way to protect the fragile little ego of her man.

What makes the Ozzy era so brilliant is that Tony Iommi would make songs that had 3-5 different riffs per song! The Ozzy era songs were journeys. They stopped making those types of songs after Ozzy left. (I’m a fan of all Black Sabbath eras, though.)

[@christheghostwriter]

Agreed. They pared it way back on song arrangements in the post-Ozzy era. But that's also what helped them not just stay relevant, but to even be ahead of the curve when the New Wave of British Heavy Metal broke through in the 80s.

[@BSIII]

Bill Ward definitely is in my top 5 favorite drummers. Btw, If no one has heard Funkadelic's 1970/71 'Super Stupid,' from the Maggot Brain album, I'd definitely recommend it. It is essentially perfect contender for metal. Of course Eddie Hazel just annihilated the heavy guitar riffs, but Tiki Fullwood's drumming on it was heavier than a frozen mastodon in a sheet of ice.

[@guitarded5198]

B. SMILEY III 😂😂well shit. That’s heavy man.

[@michaelprosser8706]

Country Girl may easily be the most underrated Sabbath song of all time, and probably my second favorite Iommi riff

[@MikeTomano]

Sabotage - The Sgt. Pepper's of Heavy Metal. Perfection.

[@kevinmitchell4018]

I completely agree!! It is a awesum overlooked record

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

Sabotage is my favorite Black Sabbath album that Ozzy sang on easily. Songs like Symptom Of The Universe and especially Megalomania are MASTERPIECES!

[@wasntme9578]

Good to know I'm not alone. Megalomania is one of their best. There is so much going on in that song. I was about 12 when I got hooked on it.

Great coverage of the history of Sabbath - I learned a lot of things I didn't know. One thing that stood out the most to me is how much better Dio was as a musician and singer than all the rest - and frankly seemed to be the adult in the room.

[@t.b.a.r.r.o.]

Back in the early 70s I use to let the album Black Sabbath repeat play all night long. Night after night. I can still play the whole album in my head pretty much note for note. Btw, that cover is one of the all time great images. It matches the contents to the bones.

[@pete7164]

I've heard a ton of interviews with Iommi where he says that Dehumanizer failed because their kind of music was not popular anymore. I call Bullshit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, grunge and all that but over the course of the previous two years AC/DC released The Razor's Edge, which was a huge hit. Ozzy had a huge comeback with No More Tears while Judas Priest's Painkiller caught the metal world completely off guard and put them back on the map. Iron Maiden released Fear Of The Dark, which got a lot of attention. Additionally, The Black album, Pantera's Vulgar Display of Power, Anthrax's The Sound Of White Noise and Megadeth's Symphony of Destruction were all huge albums. I don't know why Dehumanizer failed to get the same kind of attention and it's a damn shame. I'd have loved nothing more than the greatest metal band that ever was to have reaped some of the benefits of the early 90's metal resurgence

[@aavila1206]

[@taylorsly2392]

I haven’t heard all of it but L’Via L’Vazquez fucking slaps. One of the most creative rock songs concept wise I’ve heard IMO.

[@t.b.a.r.r.o.]

The cover for Black Sabbath is the most representative image of what the album contains of any album I've ever owned. I bought it soon after it's release. Use to fall asleep with that album playing on repeat on my player. I even made a pillow speaker so I could get more dream time Sabbath vibes. I'm sure me and my brother drove the rest of the family crazy while we wore that album out. Thank God Paranoid came out not too long after Black Sabbath. Not that we didn't own other great albums but that Sabbath stuff was like a damn drug!

[@dudejrryan]

You're right Razor. I've 51 & grew up with Sabbath & Ozzy solo. Just dialed up the Headless Cross after may years of dust gathering on it. It is a powerhouse album & Martin sings a little like Dio but clearer. I met Dio once & hold him in the highest regard. This album is layered with a mature sound as well as musicianship. Iommi being the lord of riffs also shows off some amazing solos as well. Listened to objectively without comparision to other works it is fantastic. I recommend some quality ear buds or headphones & crank it up.

[@t8r507]

I love the song "Never say Die" It's got that driving tempo and they hold it the whole song, I like the fact that Bill Ward always hits the crash cymbal on every measure, Its always there when your air drumming and it's so satisfying to POW!

Ozzy isn't the best singer technically, far from it. However, no one sounds as evil as him. He sounds like a warlock conjuring up spells. That's why he'll always be my favourite Sabbath singer. Dio is also great tho \m/

Listen to Ian Gillan sing “Black Sabbath” it’s sounds more menacing than with Ozzy sang it.

Random Trivia: Seventh Star is one of the only Sabbath albums Kerrang ever gave a perfect 5/5 score to. It was actually a very well-reviewed album. Much of the 'everyone hated it' sentiment is modern revisionism.
