You actually think that point holds weight?

IMO, but also scientific fact.
Absolutely.

Yeah but Chula they're wrong. For example they've got Paranoid as their best album.

Paranoid is their most popular and best selling album.

Zeppelin 32,997 votes > Sabbath 15,421 votes

Black Sabbath first six albums: 9,500,000 units sold per RIAA numbers.

Zeppelin's first six albums: 76,000,000 units sold per RIAA numbers.

If you dig Sabbath more, cool. I don't.

Going to California > Changes

Lol at least we formed our opinions without having to validate them with charts. I only infer that you do this because you point to charts as opposed to anything meaningful to justify your tastes when they're challenged.

Do you define Black Sabbath's first 6 albums by Changes? Because that would be an...avant-garde approach so to speak.

I guess you can't be a basic bitch if you want to listen to Sabbath.

Frowny - FAIL: My opinions were formed 45 years ago - long before the internet and access to charts.

MLM: Not sure what you are referring to about the live DVD.

Bat: Sabbath were always a bit more "culty" than Zep back in their heyday. They kinda stuck with a formula where-as Zep kept expanding with each album.

Snapshot 1972. Deep Purple, Back Sabbath, and Zeppelin were the holy trinity of the new genre coined "Heavy Metal". If you liked one, you bought everything by all three. I love Purple and Sabbath but clearly Zeppelin stoked me way more than them.

And again, Frowny, you FAILED trying to paint my opinions as being informed by numbers and retrospect, instead of as someone who was forming them in real time. Go drink some piss.

Cool you're a free finker and all that ****. Why do you point to charts to validate your opinions then? That sort of thing shouldn't matter to a critical musical mind such as yours that is entirely free from social influence, right?

Ah so I take it that you haven't heard any Sabbath records then, because that interpretation is way off.
