If you want heavy in that timeframe, try checking out Deep Purple "In Rock" that was 1970 and it was fast and heavy!!!

But then again, there are some who don't even consider Sabbath Bloody Sabbath to be a classic.

I honestly don't own any Deep Purple. I've heard the Machine Head is essential. Is In Rock essential as well?

I think Sabbath Bloody Sabbath an absolute classic and the second best album in their discography.

Master of Reality> Sabbath Bloody Sabbath> Paranoid> Black Sabbath> Black Sabbath Vol.4> Sabotage>>>>>>>>>Technical Ecstasy> Never Say Die

There are three essential Deep Purple albums and one essential live album. "In Rock" "Fireball" "Machine Head" and "Made in Japan". I`d say Machine Head was one of the very best hard rock albums ever recorded!

There is also a Deep Purple thread on this forum, but sadly it seldom gets used (I was usually the only person in there).

I hope that Ozzy is able to do this single without tuning down, in order to be able and hit the higher notes.

This is my favorite song by Black Sabbath. From the album Sabbath Boody Sabbath

I have recently read a book entitled "The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal", in that that book there is a list of essential metal albums and in first place is the Black Sabbath album "Heaven and Hell", now I do agree that "Heaven And Hell" is an essential metal album but I do not think it should be in first place on this list, anyone else agree or disagree with me.

I think that Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is bloody brilliant!

Every one of their albums is great, at least w/ Ozzy. I never got any of the Dio/Martin stuff, is it any good?

According to so called metal experts in books etc its about as essential as "Balls to the Wall" by Accept. Personally I find Dio quite boring to listen to and find that whole sound very dated.

You actually think "Technical Ecstasy" and "Never Say Die" to be good albums?

You've never heard Heaven and Hell? Really worth a listen.

As for the Tony Martin stuff, never really got into it.

^those two albums were nothing special, first 6 are the best.

But "Heaven and Hell" and "Mob Rules" are both excellent albums. Should be listened to.
