Great band - possibly the most important heavy metal band ever. Don't agree with the ordering on this one - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is their classic album - more riffs than most bands in a lifetime

This band is immortal in my book. They have such a solid discography of metal it's unbelievable, plus they did it first... or at least the best that the early bands did it. My favorite album is Sabotage (I know, I'm probably the only one). Stuff was great with Ozzy and with Dio. Iommi is a metal god.

Like most...I love Black Sabbath, but I think Judas Priest, is the better and more important Metal band!

I guess Ozzy Osbourne really needed Tommy Iommi and the others... On his own, he's become a caricature of himself. Black Sabbath deserve the plaudits they receive as the fathers of metal.

Creators of a genre of music. That's pretty fucking awesome I say.

The albums Sabbath made are great also and it was with Ronnie James Dio that they made their perfect masterpiece.

Heaven And Hell.

Being a born & bred Brummie & being of the appropriate age to have seen them when I was growing up, this is the band that I got off on most during my teens. Great riffs, great song writing. Simply great.

From Captain_Dude 07/05/2011 07:09
They INVENTED a genre of music that is as poular today as it was 40+ years ago. Sabbath fans are lifetime fans, I've found. Of course, everyone has their favorite singer...but, remember, the key to Sabbath is it's unique sound (Tony Iommi)and it's lyrics (mostly, Geezer Butler). Iommi and Butler have, for the most part, remained a constant in the band. So..yeah...it's all good. (Oh...and do NOT underestimate BORN AGAIN!!! It is a fantastic album and Ian Gillian is working, once again, with Iommi!! Also, get the remastered version of this album. There IS a definite difference!)

Truly one of the most revolutionary bands ever. As much as you may love Led Zeppelin, these guys' first two albums took things many steps further in the world of heavy metal.
