Dio-era for me, all the way. And I'm a fan since before Dio joined.

This is tough, those first 6 are essential but many great moments since. I'm going for Vol 4...just. I've got it on vinyl with the photo insert on the gatefold sleeve and Vertigo swirl label. Approve

Love Mob Rules, Sign of the Southern Cross is probably my favorite from that album. Thumbs Up

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

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.

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

^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.

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?

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

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

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.
