Holy Diver, no question. Heaven and Hell is a good 'Sabbath' album but Holy Diver is probably one of the ten greatest Metal albums ever. I love Dio to bits but I don't think his vocals ever really fitted with Iommi. Ozzie will never be the singer Dio was but in the context of Sabbath, he was perfect - as was RJD in his own band. Besides Ozzie, the only person I've heard do a good job with Sabbath vocals has been Rob Halford, during the odd guest appearance. Maybe it's the Brummie accent.

First 3 are all stellar records.

atsonicpark · 06.16.2010, 08:21 PM

I'd say the first 4.. except changes...

Rob Instigator · 06.17.2010, 08:55 AM

does changes make ya cry or somethin?

First six are all masterpieces, but if I have to choose, it is "Master of Reality".

Master Of Reality hands down. Who can deny classics like "Children Of The Grave" "Solitude" or "Lord Of This World"? Sure "Sweet Leaf" is a bit overplayed but nowhere near as bad as some of the stuff on Paranoid

Vol.4. Ive only got into Sabbath in the last year or so, but this is my favourite.

Defenitly Technical Ecstasy!
Just look at the artwork and the brilliant track were Bill ward is sining "It's alright".

Everyneurotic · 01.07.2011, 02:25 PM

The first 6 albums, uninterrupted.

This.
Then the next 3 still have some stellar songs.
Then they ceased to exist (in my mind at least).

I've got Paranoid and Masters of Reality on vinyl, but I really like Vol. 4. Really though, everything up to Sabotage is killer.

horrorjames · 01.08.2011, 07:41 AM

I like the first one the best. In fact I like the first six from high to low in the order that they came out except i like MOR a little more than I like Paranoid. I have, however, never listened to Technical Ecstasy. After thinking about it a little more I may like Sabotage a little more than I like SBS. Hole In the sky, Symptom of the Universe, The Writ, Radio... That record is really pretty good despite kinda having a sterile studio sound.

Too hard to choose, so many good ones, an unassailable stretch of 4 to 6 genre defining albums. I wouldn't choose it as my favorite, but no one has mentioned Never Say Die, which has some weak moments along with some extremely cool songs! the deluxe reissues of the first three have some truly awesome bonus cuts: instrumental takes/alternate takes/alternate lyrics/an unreleased song! apparently the band sued the label to prevent their release and lost, then the label went out of business in the great financial meltdown...

these are GOOOOOLDEN TREASUREs!:

Everything up to and including Born Again is perfect...... won't/can't pick just one though........

GeneticKiss · 07.12.2011, 12:52 AM

Why all the hate for Changes in here? I think it and FX serve as a nice little lull between Tomorrow's Dream and the awesomeness that is Supernaut...
