Master or Bloody. The other 4 are a step below
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Indeed, it does. Very good album, IMO. Never Say Die, too.

I've just been getting into Black Sabbath lately. I got the first 3 albums plus Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. The first two have some of their best songs, but I kind of like the other two albums as a whole piece better. I also have the Reunion live album, which I'm listening to right now, and I must say just about all the songs sound so much better on this album. Much heavier and better played and so on. Perhaps the most notable one that I do like better on the studio version would be "Black Sabbath" itself.

1. Master of Reality = Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here = the best

2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath = Pink Floyd's Animals = not as famous as the classics but has excellent music throughout

3. Paranoid = Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon = the most famous and classic one

4. Ozzy Osbourne Blizzards of Ozz = Pink Floyd's Meddle = the first half is alright but the second half ... simply life-changing.

5. Black Sabbath = Pink Floyd's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn = widely liked, probably because it's the debut

6. Volume IV =  Pink Floyd's The Wall = weak music.

Fave Sabb album now that's a hard one!
 
I dont think Sabbath ever made a bad album with Ozzy, each one great in its own rite!
 
I probably listen to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath the most though so I guess that would be my Favourite. Although totally depends what mood i'm in.
 
Oh and I thought 13 was great, totally caught me by suprise, wasn't expecting anything of that quality!
 
Cant wait to see them again next month for the home coming gig!
 
Also Snowblind gets my vote for the best Iommi solo.

The first 5 or 6 albums are all pretty good ,assuming you like Sabbath to begin with, but in the past I tended to play the first 2 the most and partcularly Paranoid....

^I don't entirely write those two albums off, but when comparing them to what went before and do I get an intense underwhelming sensation. True, they did sport some marvellous stand alone tracks - and here I'm specifically thinking about Gypsy off Technical Ecstasy. The interplay between Ozzy and Tony at the end is just beautiful. Probably my fave Iommi solo ever.
Still a long ways to the debut imho...

I'm sad to see no votes for their two final 70's albums, although they are slightly different I don't see any deterioration in quality.
Some of Sabbath strongest songs are on those two.
And here is one of their most breathtaking and progiest songs ever, that jazzy part at the end is flawless, simply perfect! Clap

The debut earns my vote too, Dave! I love that mix of serated riffs and bluesy wailing! Some seem to dismiss it as an `embyronic' version of the band before they found their proper sound, but I think they captured perfection right from the start!

How can I not vote for that breathtaking and infinitely raw debut? But in reality, I love all of their releases up until Sabotage. That untamed and slightly naive feel of the first always makes me return to it.

Sabotage followed closely by Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. My first two Sabbath vinyls
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Probably 'Paranoid' or the debut.
'13' is an admirable attempt at recapturing 'classic' Sabbath and highly recommended to those that aren't familiar with it

Sabotage. My top Sabbath album of any era.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Three flecks in the sky warn you you're gonna die Storm coming, you'd better hide from the atomic tide Flashes in the sky turns houses into sties Turns people into clay, radiation minds decay
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.

I'm going to go with the debut. I heard that Ozzy had a cold or something during his time in the studio for that album, and if that's so, it made him sound a lite more rough and weary, particularly during the acoustic part of "Sleeping Village". It really works for all of these songs.

That album cover gave me nightmares the first time I saw it...such a well conceived image.
