Title-track for me too. As opening tracks go, it's hard to find something with the same punch and ground-breaking potential.

	Title track for me too. What a way to begin their career. Though I do like NIB a lot too... but I easily prefer the live versions of it over the studio one.

	^ Same here in regards to "N.I.B.". I like the version they did in the Paris concert (as shown on Past Lives), where the song is heavier and Ozzy's singing doesn't sound as stiff. I could make a similar case with "Behind The Wall Of Sleep", also with the Past Lives album. The song has much more punch and I like the guitar feedback that Iommi peppers the song with.

	The title cut defined a whole new genre of doom metal, but as far as songs I prefer NIB...

	I've always been a sucker for the harmonica from "The Wizard". The album isn't bad but it does tail off into the blues near the end. They managed to Sabbathise that genre more successfully on the records that came after it. And because this isn't the Black Sabbath Appreciation Thread it would be wrong to say my favourite Sabbath albums are "Vol.4" and even "Never Say Die". "13" was a better comeback album than TER

	N.I.B., closely followed by Sleeping Village/Warning. The whole album is fantastic, though they got better on the ones that came after, at least up to Sabotage.

	Ah, a trick question. The whole album oozes atmosphere. The sinister opening has a new development with Sleeping Village / Warning. I voted for Village but there are no low points on this record. For the same record, I do like the guitar solo which has so many different aspects as the band goes in and out of the arrangement. First class all the way.

	The Wizard.
	When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night.

	Title track. The definitive heavy metal song of all time. If you can listen to this once and not become a fan then you are scientifically devoid of metal.
