Black Sabbath's first few albums really are great but the vast majority of their albums might as well not even exist.

Ok I should have said most. His early stuff isn't what I described but you get what I mean.

Nothing really. Hell it invented a genre. Stoner doom. But is it one of the greatest ever? To me fuck no.

Born Again, Headless Cross, and Dehumanizer > you
I'm not saying that everyone should masturbate to it daily (tbph my classic Sabbath listening isn't so extensive either), but your earlier post made it sound like you thought it was flawed enough that people could only possibly love it for influence.

It cracks me the fuck up how people suck Ozzy's dick when his solo material gets walloped by Dio-era Sabbath any day of the week. Dio gave us Mob Rules, Heaven and Hell, and Dehumanizer. Ozzy on his own gave us sappy-ass lyrics like "maybe it's not too late, to learn how to love and forget how to hate."
I still cannot believe that the man famous for biting the heads off of animals, the "Prince of Darkness", can write songs like "Mama I'm Coming Home" and people think that's totally cool.

I do listen to a few of their albums here and there, definitely good music. But you make an excellent point. I guess a similar comparison would be to how fantastic toilets are, and how glad I am we have them. But I definitely wouldn't want to use one of the earlier models, because there have been undeniable improvements upon that design.
Had I the money and space, I would certainly want one of those early models in a gallery of antiquities. Because it led to a lot of shit, just as all those pioneer bands led to a lot of shit, and if you're that interested in something most of the world isn't interested in, you tend to embrace such things.
Edit: Also yes fuck pretty much all Ozzy's solo stuff and Dio almost always wins in Sabbath. Although Master of Reality is an excellent album, as are a few select other Ozzy songs.
Rainbow is an excellent band.

Pink Floyd is not overrated, but the Beatles definitely are.
Mob Rules is my second favorite Sabbath album, after Paranoid. In general the worthwhile Sabbath albums are the first five, parts of Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die, and all of the Dio albums.
I'll give Headless Cross another listen but from what I remember it was boring, corny, bloated and the vocalist was annoying.

As far as I know the more dark subject matter in Sabbath lyrically is not even written by Ozzy.

The only way I can understand someone saying Pink Floyd is overrated is if they've only heard The Wall. There's probably 7-8 better Pink Floyd albums. Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon are two the best albums of the 70s, heck, arguably ever.

The first two Dio-Sabbath albums don't do much for me anymore tbh. The performance and sound are amazing in every respect, but the songs are just kind of boring.
I find it incredibly hard to care about Pink Floyd. I'll listen to Animals every once in a while, but otherwise whatevs. I don't even have much against them either, it's just like, why bother?

1a. Wish You Were Here
1b. Dark Side of the Moon
3. Animals
4. Meddle
5. Saucerful of Secrets
6 Atom Heart Mother
7. More
8. The Wall
9. Obscured by Clouds
10. Ummagumma (would be higher if it weren't for that fucking 10 minute drum piece that goes nowhere)
11. Obscured by Clouds
I don't even think I listened to their final three albums more then a few times... really didn't leave an impression.

It seems like 99% of Ozzy Osbourne fans are the same type of people who still think the Big 4 produce good albums. People who don't know anything about Metal outside of the big name bands.

You need to listen to:
Blizzard of Ozz
Diary of a Madman
Bark at the Moon
No More Tears
All 4 albums are fucking amazing and essential listening in my opinion
