Debating the Best Black Sabbath Album: From Ozzy Osbourne to Ronnie James Dio and Beyond
Black Sabbath, the iconic Birmingham band, is known for inventing heavy metal music as we know it today. Their original run with Ozzy Osbourne produced some of the most iconic metal songs and albums of all time. Even after Osbourne's departure in 1979, the band continued to create excellent music, culminating in their final album, 13, released in 2013.
In the wake of Osbourne's recent passing, we want to hear from you: which Black Sabbath album do you consider the best? The options are diverse, ranging from their groundbreaking self-titled debut album in 1970 to the classic Paranoid, Master Of Reality, Vol. 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and Sabotage albums from the Osbourne era. The post-Osbourne albums like Heaven And Hell and Mob Rules, featuring Ronnie James Dio, also have a strong following.
Despite the perceived 'wasteland' years in the mid-80s and 90s, albums like Headless Cross and Dehumanizer still have dedicated fans. The band's final album, 13, marked a reunion with Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler.
