This is sound advice and I acted accordingly. 

SBS is just great. Sabotage has Sabbath's best track Symptom of the Universe on it, but, to be honest, I don't rate the rest of it very high. Nor Technical Ecstacy. 

Burn is also great but don't know the other two Purple albums.

Burn & Stormbringer are good albums, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath & Sabotage are outstanding, Sabbath trample all over Purple in this one.

I've always preferred Black Sabbath to Deep Purple. The particular albums don't matter in my decision.
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Black Sabbath, even though Technical Ecstasy was a massive let down.

Agreed. Gillen less Purple had one or maybe two good tracks per album for me.

Besides that, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" stands head and shoulders above the rest of the albums here.

Sabbath.  
 I've met a number of folks who place Sabotage as their favorite Black Sabbath album.

Gillen? Who's that? His name is Ian Gillan. 

There was a vocalist named Ray Gillen who was briefly in Black Sabbath, he participated in writing with Iommi but never made it to an official release being replaced by Tony Martin.

don't think Stormbringer is any good (IMHO), but the trio albums presented is unfair
Sab should've been represented by Sabotage Ecstasy and Never Say Die as to make the last three 70's albums for both bands


didn't vote and commented. TongueWink
let's just stay above the moral melee

keep our sand-castle virtues

The albums in the poll were released around the same time (1973-1976).

how am I petty? You can accuse me of being pedantic (just as bad, but you'd be right), but petty? Confused

You'd have to be a devoted fan to know that Ray Gillen once sang with Black Sabbath, just as you'd have to be  a devoted fan to know that Ron Keel, Dave Walker and David Donato were also briefly singers with Black Sabbath. Then again, you could always look it up on Google, as I just did. Smile

Exactly.  "The Eternal Idol" 2010 deluxe edition disc 2 consists of the earlier recording sessions, with Ray Gillen performing vocals.  After Ray Gillen quit Sabbath, Tony Martin recorded "The Eternal Idol" lyrics for his first spin as Sabbath's vocalist. 

I'm a big fan of Tony Martin's five album Sabbath run.  Tony Iommi claims that a Tony Martin era Boxset is in the works. It could be be a fantastic box, if Iommi includes several concert DVD's. Don't be stingy, Tony.  Forbidden is oft considered Sabbath's worse album. However; Iommi recently remixed Forbidden. It's in the can.

Canadian music Journalist- Martin Popoff's favorite all-time rock album is Sabotage. Martin's second favorite Sabbath album is Technical Ecstasy. Technical Ecstasy has grown on me over the years.  I've always loved the cover.

And the name. I have even used "Technical Ecstasy" as a username (not on this site).

I missed this post. Embarrassed Technical Ecstasy is not my favorite album from BS, but I've always loved it. Tongue
