Sabbath was possibly the first """""metal""""" band I got into, with songs like War Pigs, Paranoid, and Iron Man, so I can't stand that shit anymore, similarly to the self-titled, but they are still obviously great albums. Master of Reality (1971) never gets old, the guitar riffs and instrumentals are just perfect. Admittedly, I dislike Ozzy's vocals, but with a band this good, they don't seem so bad. He's generic and just like robert plant if he was retarded. Sabotage (1975) and Never Say Die (1978) are the last great Ozzy records, until the golden era of Sabbath, 80-83. Heaven and Hell (1980) and Mob Rules (1981) were fantastic albums using Dio's powerful voice, way more fitting for "metal" than Ozzy. Born Again (1983) is the greatest Sabbath record. No question. Dehumanizer (1992) as a close second.
