Remember you can only vote in Thread 1 or Thread 2, not both.

It is not necessary to post as to why you voted the way you did, but it would be interesting to the rest of us.

My vote goes to Technical Ecstacy.

Prolly not their best album, but it's the one that made the most impact on me as a teenager.

Some of Tony Iommi's guitaring on this one is sublime.

I have Paranoid on cassette somewhere. I think it has the song Sweet Leaf on it. I wonder if different versions were released.

According to the track listings, that would be Master of Reality.

[Music Head]

I have always been Paranoid of the War Pigs on Planet Caravan which is ruled by the Iron Man who, while he raises his Hand Of Doom is planning an Electric Funeral in this land where Fairies Wear Boots and all that is available to eat is Rat Salad.

I honestly believe that Ozzy is the better frontman... but Dio is the better singer. I love both but am more of a Dio kinda guy. For that reason, Heaven and Hell gets its first (and maybe only??) vote.

[goth metal raver]

My vote goes to Master of Reality.

I think it has the best songs. I find Paranoid overrated but I love the whole period from Master of Reality to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

Children of the Grave and Into the Void are my favourite Sabbath songs so Master of Reality is the one that gets the vote

[FrankieLee]

Paranoid from the Ozzy era, and Heaven and Hell from the rest.
