Members FWAxeIbanez Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 I've always respected BS, but I've never wanted to purchase a cd or anything. Anyway, I've heard some of thier earlier stuff, and it sounded pretty "jammy". Pretty inspired jam oriented stuff, which is something I can appreciate a lot more than thier more recent famous stuff. What albums should I start with guys? I've always liked Black Sabbath, and would thoroughly enjoy them anytime a friend put them on or they popped on the radio. I just never had the urge to put them on or purchase an album, like I said earlier. I wanna get that "artsy" side to Sabbath, if that makes sense...

Members book_of_lies777 Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 here ya go:http://www.amazon.com/Sold-Our-Soul-Rock-Roll/dp/B000002KGApersonally, while I LOVE ALL Black Sabbath - Tony Iommi is THE guy that made me start playing guitar - Ronnie James Dio is about 2000% a better singer/songwriter than Ozzy ever thought about being... so I think the albums "Heaven and Hell" & "Mob Rules" are the BEST Sabbath albums, hands down... again, just my opinion.

I laughed so hard when I found out it was pronounced Striper and not Stripper, and that they were a christian cock rock band... it was an amazing revelation. So far this is like Zeppelin on steroids and with shrunken minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Purplexi Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 The albums Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage are definitely the "Sgt Pepper" and "Magical Mystery Tour" of Sabbath's career.Still,don't pass up on their less known material like BS "Vol. 4". It sounds like a compilation title but it's actually their concept following to Masters of Reality."Technical Ecstasy" and "Never Say Die" are also worth checking out but don't forget Sabbath's first,featuring The Wizard,NIB and Wicked World.

Well that is the problem right there now isn't it! You don't purchase sabbath on cd! Mistake Number one man! Sabbath is to be enjoyed on Album! Period. I have all ozzy/sabbath on album and it is the best experience ever. Plus Mob Rules and a few of the Dio ones are killer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pigsinzen Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 Ronnie James Dio is about 2000% a better singer/songwriter than Ozzy ever thought about being... so I think the albums "Heaven and Hell" & "Mob Rules" are the BEST Sabbath albums, hands down... again, just my opinion. Can sing better yes. But his pretentious songs are horrible. Take the lyrics to "Rainbow in the Dark" Just silly. His whole stage act was pretentious and "evil" While he was a good singer, he didn't have the voice that made BS popular. You'll find a singer that has a DISTINCT voice will be more popular than most any other singer, EVEN if someone can sing BETTER than they can. It's the distinct original sound that hooks people. And Ozzy has such a voice. You ALWAYS know when it is him singing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members legend71 Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 I agree that Ozzy was THE Sabbath singer, but to say that Dio did/does not have a distinct voice is debateable. I also agree that Dio's lyrics are cheesy and his songs are pretentious at times, but I look at Sabbath as two different bands in the context of those two singers. With Dio they were more melodic and less riffy/jammy. With Ozzy it was more jams and even Ozzy was singing riff type phrasing in his vocals. I like both versions of Sabbath, but yes, Ozzy's era is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GRIFF10672 Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 Anything .... just grab anything .. we sold .. is a great compilation kind of thing .. but IMO the great stuff is the {censored} you don't hear on the radio . Electric Funeral , Supernaut , Bit of Finger , Symptom of the Universe .. there's a ton more .. just grab anything ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rufus Leaking Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 I still remember the first time I heard 'Symptom of the universe'. It blew my mind - I thought it was the heaviest thing ever created. I still love that riff. I just picked up 'Mob rules' the other day. Great disc but man Iommi's vibrato bugs me.... it's like a spastic rubber band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pol Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 Dio is a great singer technically, but his band DIO bores the hell out of me, I mean what the hell is a song like Holy Diver about ? That and he looks like an angry leprichaun with a klingon head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
