My favourite Ozzy era album was Paranoid (cliche I know

). It was the first Sabbath I ever heard and I still feel the musical earthquake I felt when I first heard the album.

My favourite Dio era is definitely Heaven and Hell.

I guess I have to go with Paranoid overall.

Well, as far as metal goes I'm not a big fan of the fast/screamy/growly/macho/cock-rockin' varieties I tend to go more for the atmospheric, sludgy, dark vibes which I think Black Sabbath peaked with on Master of Reality. Also, Into the Void is one of my favorite songs ever.

I am big into Black Sabbath's debut because it showed a great deal of blues influence, which I really liked with the dark sound. Plus I think this album is more complete then my next favorite, Paranoid, in that I get sick of some tracks in Paranoid, whereas the debut has me entertained the whole time.

3. Master of Reality
4. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
5. Sabotage

I beg to differ. I think Black Sabbath was at its best with RJD as the singer. I am not saying Ozzy is bad, I just think that it was at its prime with Dio.

But my vote goes to Heaven and Hell, hands down. That album is just.....just....what's the word I am looking for....oh yea!

Amazing!

I hate dio so I'm gonna go with paranoid.

The Debut is their best effort by miles, groundbreaking at the time and it really has aged well.

The only thing I see as the same between Ozzy Sabbath and Dio Sabbath is the name. I used to think that Ozzy Sabbath was better, but I got smarter with age. Now that I have listened to Dio Sabbath with an open mind, I don't even hear them as the same band. The sound and content is so different to me that I no longer compare the two. I vote Mob Rules for Dio years, and Paranoid for Ozzy. I see them as 2 bands, so I want 2 votes. I don't have a vote for the other 3 singers as I never really listened to them.
