Black Sabbath- Best Song

Well, personally, I love a shitload of Black Sabbath, but War Pigs just has an extra special meaning for me. I remember a band playing a damn fine cover of it at one of the first metal gigs I ever went to. I also remember seeing the old film of it with the band all going nuts over it, long hair, flared trousers and floppy sleeves flying all over the place. I love the lyrics especially, even though it does rhyme masses with masses at one stage... well the first two lines actually.  I love the loud/quiet structure, the simple riffs, the freak out solos, the stop/start pattern. To me, it's just so much more Sabbath than any other song.
