Default Never Say Die.

Progressive related/progressive rock.

(1978) Black Sabbaths 8th studio album Never Say Die.

My favorite singles on the album are Shock Wave and Air Dance. I like the way Shock Wave kicks into a different gear (sound/style) in the second verse.

I don't care for the intro at the beginning of the song Air Dance. But it is a rock classic! I just love the "Jazz" influence during the song.

Johnny Blade and a few other singles on the album are OK..

I prefer Technical Ecstacy to Never Say Die any day. Who's with me!?

I haven't listened to much more than Paranoid, the one I choose. I've owned Vol. 4 for a few years now but it didn't do that much for me, then I've owned Master of Reality for about a year now and only really got Sweet Leaf. Bought their 1st a few weeks ago and I didn't like the structure that the songs were in, that they had several different ones all on one track (though I suppose that a listen of the LP would be nice for there isn't a solid track structure when it comes to records), but I'd have to say that out of all of them Paranoid and s/t are my faves.

I also own Sabbath Bloody Sabbath for a few years now, didn't think of that till the last sentence, so I guess that one was pretty forgettable to me. I do, however, feel the need to listen to those that I own chronologically one of these days. Here's hoping for a listen here soon.

Gotta be their debut. As someoe mentioned earlier, it's a lot more consistent than paranoid and just about anything they've done, Every song is strong.

As much as I love sabbath, I cannot get into the dio era at all. I'm not even really an ozzy fan outside of sabbath, I love bill, tony and geezer, but that band was just at its best in its original form.

I'll say Paranoid--side two's riffs are among metal's best. But the one I've listened to the most recently is Born Again. Awful producion, but Iommi's on fire. Check out the solos on "Trashed" and "Zero the Hero."

I am not a big fan of Mob Rules (although Falling Off The Edge Of The World is a monster track) but Heaven and Hell is a really great album and basically provided the blueprint for the band Dio and it's a better album than Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die. I will say that Junior's Eyes (from Never Say Die) is one of my favourite late era Ozzy tracks though.

Sabotage is my favourite. Although "Am I Going Insane" is pretty unlistenable, there are some epic tracks on there like "Symptom of the Universe" and "Megalomania", which is my all around favourite Sabbath tune. For me, Sabotage is one of those albums that I listened to nonstop in junior high and high school that I can still listen to and love just as much. I've overplayed Paranoid so it's not as great anymore, but I'd say that's my second favourite. I love all of their Ozzy era stuff and, like blastingas10, I can't get into the Dio era, even though I'm a fan of his solo work and Rainbow.

Anyways, it's definitely Sabotage for me.

You forgot "Sign of the Southern Cross"! That's a metal mastertrack!
