GMD Poll: Black Sabbath’s Discography Ranked

[J.]

To me, too much of a "rock" sound.

 

[Vilden]

Listening to Dio's solo albums now. Holy Diver, Dream Evil, Sacred Heart, Last in Line.

None come close to his work with Sabbath

Do not agree, but Sabbath-Dio certainly reach higher peaks.

H&H and The Mob Rules have so many dull tracks.

I don't agree with this either but I see where it comes from, Dio Sabbath is quite uneven, but as I said above, when they get it right they really get it right. A list of top Sabbath songs would include 2x Dio as #1 and #2.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Paranoid > Vol 4 = Master of Reality > Sabbath Bloody Sabbath = Black Sabbath > Heaven and Hell > Sabotage > Mob Rules > Born Again > Dehumanizer > Headless Cross > Tyr = 13 > Never Say Die > Technical Ecstasy

there's really no way to fuck this up.

Four day warning for any submissions or revisions.

Excluded (I haven't listened to these): Seventh Star, Cross Purposes, Headless Cross, Tyr, and Forbidden

14. 13 (Okay, but a little forced)
13. The Eternal Idol (Great, but lackluster when put into context)
12. Born Again (Same as previous)
11. Never Say Die! (Same)
10. Dehumanizer (Like 13, a bit forced, but to a lesser extent)
9. Sabotage (Doesn't really resonate with me in a magical manner)
8. Technical Ecstasy (More meaningful to me, but a bit inconsistent)
7. Mob Rules (Higher than Dehumanizer because of the two epics)
6. Heaven and Hell (best Dio era album)
5. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (The right amount of experimentation)
4. Volume 4 (Used to be my favorite)
3. Black Sabbath (Magical)
2. Paranoid (Same as last, but it was one of my first metal albums)
1. Master of Reality (Kickass)

12 hour warning

i've heard everything from '81 through '95 at some point with the possible exception of SEVENTH STAR, but i can't remember much of it. didn't exactly grab me for the most part but maybe some of it would nowadays.

feel free not to count this, but of the first 9 i'd go:
1) vol. 4
2) paranoid
3) black sabbath
4) master of reality
5) heaven and hell
6) sabbath bloody sabbath
7) sabotage
8) technical ecstasy
9) never say die

it's obviously minor but i quite like technical ecstasy relative to how much it's shat on.

You need to add one more if you want it to count.

 

[Sirjack]

1 - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
2 - Black Sabbath
3 - Paranoid
4 - Vol 4
5 - Master of Reality

10 - Technical Ecstasy
11 - Born Again

You need at least 10 for it to count.

I will add those crap albums Technical Ecstacy and Never Say Die on there, it does not matter the order, they are equally worse.

#20 Forbidden (1994)

Average points per vote: 3/20

1) Everything else
2) Forbidden

Just kidding. Not really though.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#19 Seventh Star (1986)

Average points per vote: 4.2/20

I forget about Seventh Star existing all the time

that’s reasonable since its shit

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#18 Technical Ecstasy (1976)

Average points per vote: 4.7/20

Technical Ecstasy is dogshit.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#17 13 (2013)

Average points per vote: 4.8/20

On 13 they tried so hard to capture the magic of the old days but didn't make it...A failed attempt IMO.

 

[The Ozzman]

Paranoid > Vol 4 = Master of Reality > Sabbath Bloody Sabbath = Black Sabbath > Heaven and Hell > Sabotage > Mob Rules > Born Again > Dehumanizer > Headless Cross > Tyr = 13 > Never Say Die > Technical Ecstasy

there's really no way to fuck this up.

But you did because you left out Tony Martin material ;-)

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Tyr and Headless Cross are enough Tony Martin for me. Don't really care much for his vox anyway.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i wonder how many places vol 4 will lose due to my list not being counted

on second thought i don't care and you all suck

 

[crimsonfloyd]

#16 Never Say Die! (1978)

Average points per vote: 5.2/20

Meanwhile, back on topic, scientists prove "TYR" to be mediochre.

at least its not technical ecstasy or never say die am i rite

 

[no country for old wainds]

enjoying these old school quotes haha

#15 The Eternal Idol (1987)

Average points per vote: 6.9/20

Eternal Idol is a solid release. and started the Tony Martin era. it's not the best or worst.
