    Black Sabbath Albums Ranked

    1) Heaven and Hell (while the collective Ozzy-era is pure god, no album - in any genre - can compete with H&H) 2) Sabotage (sure, their first few are more influential. but, pound for pound, this albums is the greatest of the Ozzy era) 3) Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath (see note above. it's...

    Controversial opinions on metal

    CCorpse is among the lamest bands ever. they have multiple albums yet not one song worth listening to. Utter crap. The same can be said of Deicide....and their first two albums are putrid shite.

    Controversial opinions on metal

    Controversial opinions on metal

    Purple's "in Rock" is one of the heaviest albums ever recorded.....in any decade. It's as heavy as an Sabbath, if not heavier. :notworthy

    Best non Ozzy/Dio Black Sabbath album

    they're all great, including Forbidden. But, due to the title track, Born Again takes this easily.

    would you guys consider Epica real metal?

    No, because they use growls. And music with growls can't be heavy - it can only be dumb.
