Best of Black Sabbath

[Jimmy... Dead.]

I was having a discussion about Black Sabbath with my father and we were comparing albums and singles.

We went through his cd collection and found that he had at least 3 "best of black Sabbath" cds along with the self titled and master of reality.

As I was going through 'the best of' cds I noticed a lot of songs left out and always wondered why. I mean it’s not the Best Singles of BS, ya know.

So I was thinking if this forum were to make a best of BS cd what song(s)would you put on it?

I'll start off with Cornucopia

 

[Vitor]

any music without ozzy

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Black Sabbath
NIB
Megalomania
Electric Funeral
War Pigs
Children of the Grave
Hole in the Sky
etc. etc.

 

[Mr_Haze]

One that hasn't been mentioned, Killing Yourself To Live.

 

[Susperia]

Black Sabbath
NIB
Electric Funeral
War Pigs
Children of the Grave

Those are all on like, every BS best of.

 

[Mr_Haze]

Electric Funeral isn't, but I've only had my hands on 'We Sold Our Soul For Rock and Roll'. You're right though, it would easily be replaced by any other similar one: Paranoid, Sweet Leaf, etc.

 

[ohiogrinder]

Hole In The Sky
Symptom Of The Universe
Sweet Leaf
Into The Void
The Wizard

 

[SoundMaster]

You Wont Change Me
The Thrill of It all
Spiral Architect
Hand Of doom
the writ

 

[OldScratch]

One that hasn't been mentioned, Killing Yourself To Live.

Yes! Perhaps my favorite BS tune ever...in the top three at least

 

[Satanstoenail]

Holy In The Sky

Interesting typo...


I always thought A National Acrobat was an underrated song of theirs. I don't think I've ever seen it on a best of.

 

[Draconian]

Planet Caravan

 

[Susperia]

One that hasn't been mentioned, Killing Yourself To Live.

Did Pro-Pain do a cover of that song?

 

[IOfTheStorm]

First and above all my definite Black Sabbath favourite:
Wheels Of Confusion
other 9 to make a top 10:
Solitude
A National Acrobat
Megalomania
Cornucopia
War Pigs
Black Sabbath (of course)
Iron Man
Under The Sun
Hole In The Sky

 

[Mr_Haze]

Did Pro-Pain do a cover of that song?

I've never heard Pro-Pain and I have no idea.

 

[byrne]

every song off the first 6 albums + "heaven and hell" the song.

 

[mutantllama]

warpigs
heaven and hell
black sabbath
the wizard
eletric funeral
sweat leaf
hole in the sky
neon nights
snow blind

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Oh and yes if we are to add Dio era songs too, let's say 1 from each album:
Children Of The Sea
Falling Of The Edge Of The World

 

[CF87]

Symptom Of The Universe
Fairies Wear Boots/Jack The Stripper
A National Acrobat
The Wizard
Children Of The Grave
Wheels of Confusion
Luke'S Wall/War Pigs
Sabbra Cadabra
Hole In The Sky
Into The Void
Sweet Leaf
Lord Of This World
Black Sabbath

The reason I did not put Dio-era on there because to me it would not make sense to mix two different vocalists.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

Those are all on like, every BS best of.

So what?! They should be.

 

[Belligerent]

Into The Void
Warning
Snowblind *the "blow" song*
The Wizard
Fairies Wear Boots
Under The Sun
Sweet Leaf (of course)
