While it has been debatable, even here, who had the stronger set of 8 original studio albums, the last of which were in 1978 and 1979, whose members since then have had the better output of great music? Is there any doubt?

I bought a vinyl record of Master of Reality from Sunrise Records which is a reprint. I went into it expecting to hear Sweet Leaf but instead it's War Pigs. All the packaging is MoR, even the stickers on the vinyl is all MoR. But it's actually a Paranoid record. For $40, it's a pretty bad messup but tbh i love that album too so i can't complain too much.

Well, if it's about nostalgia, "Paranoid" is my favorite. It was the one that introduced me to heavy metal. But if it's about liking, without a shadow of a doubt it is "N.I.B".

I think Swinging the Chain and It's Alright prove that he can pull off a decent voice for what sabbath made, he can hit highs and lows quite well. He also had an extremely unique, almost Elvis-esque voice, in the way he presents those tones; almost a mix between baritone and tenor. I haven't listened to his solo band in a while so I can't make a comment on the tracks he was lead vocalist for, but I'm sure it was roughly the same experience. I don't think it would have been the best album per se, but I would KILL to just see what it could have been. I'm imagining a sort of Zeppelin sound with strange time signatures and pacey basslines. "Call of the Wicked" or something lol

Lads list your favorite covers of sabbath songs down here. Mines probably Powerwolf's cover of Headless Cross. Their style works so well for that song
