Not really much to say here. Everyone knows Sabbath so there isn't much to add. Vote away.

Master of Reality for me, really flows well with no weak tracks.

It´ll always be the debut for me. I never get tired of that one. If not, it would be Paranoid.

Wish I could have a second vote. I'd vote Heaven and Hell for the non-Ozzy era.

My all time favourite band. I can't vote in this. I'd question or regret any votes I did cast. A couple of weak albums (forbidden, cross purposes), some very inconsistent ones (never say die), some controversial ones (love Born Again and quite like seventh star as a non-Sabbath rock album) and many complete classics.

This is no doubt pretty bad of me, but my knowledge of Sabbath's discography is rather limited. I own the self-titled, Paranoid, Heaven & Hell and Dehumanizer and additionally heard Master of Reality. That's it. Out of those, I'd say Heaven & Hell, but I enjoy the first two a lot as well. They are albums and a band in general I should listen to more.

Jonas, you should stop humouring people who don't listen to Sabbath religiously. They're not worth your time Wink

some of the Tony Martin fronted albums are quite good (Forbidden is the weakest, I agree).

Forbidden is poor - the one album I really struggle with.

I've heard him sing on Arjen Lucassen's Star One song Closer to the Stars and I quite like him. Not heard anything from those Sabbath albums though. Apart from The Eternal Idol it's almost as if someone has tried to sweep them them the carpet. They don't seem as expensive right now as I have seen them, but they certainly don't get the re-issues that the other ones do and they're absent from Spotify as well. I never even knew those albums existed for a long time. Just assumed Dehumanizer was the last. 

Oh and I do have this one in my collection as well:



This is at least an honourary Sabbath album right?

^I second Jonas's recommendation. I have the Martin-album 'Headless Cross', and it almost has a power metal vibe to it. I haven't heard the other Martin albums, but the aforementioned one I find really good.

Although i love ALL the albums from #1 to Sabotage, i have a thing for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage which i voted for. THose albums kinda incorporate all the ideas that came before and meld em together into nice catchy Sabbathness. Also love that Heaven & Hell. Best album cover ever

The Devil You Known is a very nice album. We got spoilt with two versions of Black Sabbath for a while.

Headless Cross is certainly decent too. It caused a bit of a fight between Martin (who wrote the lyrics) and Iommi. Iommi felt Martin had gone overboard with the satanic imagery and had to remind him that the band used dark themes to portray the fight between good and bad and weren't supposed to be celebrating it. Apparently Martin got a bit carried away and got pulled up for it.

How can you calll yourself a metal admin and not have heard all the early Sabbath albums? Pinch
You're sooooo missing out! I know it all sounds a little proto these days as that was my first impression getting into those albums well after their days of release but you really must experience the first 6 albums. They are truly magical and the major foundation of metal in general Thumbs Up

Rather harshly put (albeit in jest) but the first six albums are indeed amazing. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage were proto-proggy before DT was a twinkle it its metal mother's eye. The rest of the discography is pretty awesome too for the most part. You have most of the Dio era studios but should get Mob Rules just for the title track and Sign Of The Southern Cross if nothing else. Goose-bump inducing stuff.
