GMD Poll: Black Sabbath’s Discography Ranked

[The Butt]

Blizzard is better than Sabotage, at least.

Lolno

 

[CiG]

I agree with him, Sabotage still rules though.

 

[The Ozzman]

Finished my list. That was kinda difficult for the bottom half.

 

[J.]

maybe blizzard is just overplayed for me. im so tired of fucking crazy train.

i loved no more tears back when it was released. need to spin that one again.

 

[CiG]

im so tired of fucking crazy train.

Well, same actually. But many of my favourite albums seem to have a track I've heard too many damn times. Especially comes with the territory with 1980's metal, like Iron Maiden.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I hardly heard any metal on the radio growing up so I can happily say Crazy Train is still fresh to me. Pretty much a pop-metal 10/10.

 

[CiG]

Neither did I actually. Now I'm not sure how those songs feel overplayed to me...

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

None come close to his work with Sabbath

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Check out Strange Highways, especially if you like Dehumanizer. Very much a continuation of the Dehumanizer style.

 

[The Ozzman]

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

None come close to his work with Sabbath

What the fuck? Holy Diver is the greatest metal album of all time you philistine!

Listening to 13 now. There are hints of classic Sabbath here.

 

[J.]

Not even close. Though it was the best of the lot.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

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

 

[The Ozzman]

Not even close. Though it was the best of the lot.

What made it inferior?

 

[J.]

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

 

[Vilden]

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.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Four day warning for any submissions or revisions.

 

[PrincessHades]

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)
