[@shanewilson398]

What a place to start! Good for you.

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

Tough one to narrow to 10, but at this moment, this is from my gut: 10- Warning. Although its part of a medley, by itself I love how it points to Sab's roots in 60's heavy blues, in the vein of Cream or early Zep, only... heavier, considerably heavier. Yet cleaner and more musical than Blue Cheer. 9- Junior's Eyes. You don't love much off NSD, me neither I guess, but that makes this one a big standout for me. Much lighter (though it seriously rocks..and is funky in parts) than the early 70s stuff, but great composition. I think it was a radio hit that never was. Shoulda been on the air on rock radio with contemporary songs by Nugent, BOC, Thin Lizzy, etc. 8- Supernaut- Killer. Bill Ward! 7- N.I.B.- This is the riff I find myself playing the most on guitar, sometimes absent mindedly. What cool lyrics too (love the Buddy Holly "not fade away" nod in the chorus of a song sung from the perspective of the devil!) 6- Lord of this World- More devil stuff. Kind of the prototype doom Sabbath song for me, all the classic Sab touches. Master of Reality is my fave album. Crushingly heavy.... in 1971! 5- Symptom of the Universe- That riff! 4- Hand of Doom- Like 3 great hard rock songs in one! 3- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath- The first riff was awesome enough, not to mention the DOOMY vibe, but then the riff accompanying the "where can you run to?" part... and Ozzy's awesome vocals! 2- Children of the Grave- Galloping, crushing tune... about peace and love, lol. 1- Into the Void- The first 2 albums of theirs that I had, both on cassette, were paranoid and greatest hits, and these were enough to set me on the path to lifelong fandom. So that's the stuff I knew when I heard this for the first time. I'll never forget that. It was actually on the radio (Seton Hall Pirate Radio). I was stunned, it turned things up a couple notches. An amazing song, so heavy, and such cool vibes. Fave Dio song: Children of the Sea. Also really dig Born Again, though no top 10 contenders.

[@JohnSmith-mx8wp]

That acoustic piece that wraps up Symptom is just amazing, one of the best things Tony has ever played. You are sledgehammered for 3 or 4 minutes by that killer riff, then the "blastoff" and into a real nice interlude. It's like a giant rainstorm, it stops suddenly, the clouds are gone, the air is clear and the sun is out and life is good again.

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

@@JohnSmith-mx8wp They were SO dynamic. You’re comment inspired me to put “symptom” on (and I happen to be stoned). Wow. The different sections and passages are like some good classical music… but rock… heavy heavy rock. A little jazzy just there too.

[@brucefranklin6295]

Like you Pete,my two favorite bands are Deep Purple and Black Sabbath.When I heard the debut album in '72,it changed my life.I would have to include the song Black Sabbath in my top 10 before any Dio song. Also,War Pigs would have to be in my top 10,again before any Dio song.

It is really interesting to hear peoples favorite songs and albums from three different perspectives. The first is people like me who were starting their listening with the Beatles. The second is the group, like yourself who were kids when you joined us on our rock listening careers. Then there is the later generations who have discovered rock through their parent's collection or who were just drawn to it because the music sounds great to them. The same music unites us through our shared listening experience.

Hi Pete-I've been listening to Your SOT spots and very enjoyable. Like You, I would have a very hard time to narrow it down to just ten. I had heard of Black Sabbath and listened to TECHNICAL ECSTASY and thought it alright, but not much more-it's better if You're acquainted with the band. At 17 in Spring of 1979, I thought that KISS, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent and Led Zeppelin were as good as Hard Rock got until I bought a two record set called HEAVY METAL with "Iron Man" being the second song. I was astounded at how heavy the song was and how lightweight it made everything else seem. I bought PARANOID a couple of weeks later and was hooked. Also, like You, I find myself gravitating towards the deep cuts, especially "Hand Of Doom". At this time, life was pretty good with some good close friends, working after school and finally a girlfriend. It all went to hell when We had to move, yet again (Military Father) and I was just thrown into this deep depression. I will maintain until my final days that Black Sabbath saved my sanity and probably my life with the first six Ozzy albums and the first Ronnie efforts

Pete I went back and listened to Snowblind again and you're right, it's a wickedly good tune. I always thought Electric Funeral wad a super cool and underrated song too.

[@chrisdodd9606]

Hi Pete I couldn't even do a top 10 for Sabbath becsause i love them too much- Well done. Can you attempt a Wings top 10.Thats Hard. Keep it up Chris D Huddersfield England

[@robkarhukangas3402]

Disturbing the Priest is one of my faves.

[@crazymanmichael100]

Hi Pete, I notice you did not mention Heart Like A Wheel from Seventh Star album great vocal from Glen Hughes and about four guitar solos from Tony Iommi, I love it. I would give it an honourable mention, It was supposed to be a solo album, record company decided to call it a Sabbath album. I'm sure you already know that.

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Yes indeed!

[@markwebb1040]

I'm probably one of the few who actually loves Never Say Die. Start to finish. Having said that, I gravitate toward the Dio era stuff more than any of it. Songs like Over and Over, Follow The Tears, Too Late. All great tunes. The Born Again album is woefully underrated. I would love to have gotten more Gillan stuff with Sabbath. Never heard much of the Tony Martin era stuff. What I did hear was a little underwhelming, to be honest but I'm willing to go back and give it another chance. Sorry to meander. So much good Sabbath material, it's hard to go wrong.

[@misfit2022]

Here’s my top 10 of the more unusual Sabbath songs, so ignoring them classics, Behind the wall of sleep, The Wizard , NIB, Rat Salad, Meglomania, The Writ, Cornucopia, It’s alright, Solitude, Never say die If nothing else someone may go and listen to a few of these and learn there is so much more to Sabbath than Paranoid and Symptom of the Universe as great as these 2 songs are they will be the first on nearly everyone’s list followed by Iron Man and War Pigs.

[@JohnSmith-mx8wp]

In no special order. 10 off the top of my head: Black Sabbath Supernaut Megalomania Warning The Wizard Trashed Symptom of the Universe Fairies Wear Boots Tomorrow's Dream The Writ Saw them live in '75 in Boston on the Sabotage (favorite LP) tour. Prob the 2nd "big name" act I ever saw at that time. So effin' LOUD...what a trip.
