Fair enough. When it comes to heaviness, I dunno, we have dozens Black Sabbath ripoffs nowadays, but only Sabbath had that early 70s production AND powerful riffs despite guitar amps not suitable to this style of music. But I honestly love Reunion version of "Into the Void"

Well, I do like Sabbath (I just haven't heard that album yet), as well as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Uriah Heep, and a few others. Though, as far as Sabbath goes, I mostly like better the live version on Reunion than the originals. The extra heaviness really helps the songs. |

I suggest you try it out (if you can stomach 70s hard rock). Although not necessarily in the premier league of Sabbath songs ("Wheels of Confusion", "Megalomania", "Into the Void" etc.), I find it a terrific opening track. Definitely a prime Black Sabbath offering.

I'm tempted to vote for The Great Gig in the Sky, and I don't even know the other one (but of course I won't do that).

The Great Gig in the Sky is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs!

Love the Sabotage album. But Great Gig is just so ethereally brilliant and mood modifying, with a human voice that says much without saying anything.

And it was played at literally every party I went to in the 70s and 80s as well. I also suffered from massive burnout and swore to never listen to it ever again. Then one day, on a lark, I revisited it with well rested ears... and was quite forcefully reminded of what a truly magnificent album it is. I'm really glad I gave it another chance.

Both are very good but GGitS is one of my favorites from Dark Side so that is what I voted for.

Since the question is "which do you spin more often?", easily Hole in the Sky. I just listened to Sabotage the other day. Haven't listened to Dark Side of the Moon on purpose in 25+ years (it was played by someone at literally every single party I went to in the 90's). I often wonder what my attitude about that album would be if it hadn't been played into the ground.

Neither is better than the other, for they both serve different musical purposes. Both are great songs. I voted Floyd this time because while I heard great metal before Sabotage, I had never heard anything like the Great Gig before that first time.

I'm voting for The Great Gig in the Sky. It's a classic song on a classic album.

Apples and oranges. Love both, but I'll give Sabbath the vote.

I like Sabotage, my first Sabbath album, but how can it compete wth my first Pink Floyd album? The great Rick in the sky, I have read somewhere. From Sabotage I prefer Symptom of the Universe, a great metal song.
