Alot of bands cite Black Sabbath as influencing their music and their simple guitar riffs and drumlines are so enjoyable to listen to and even more fun to play. I was just wondering what everyones' fav Sabbath song is? For me "the Wizard" is best w/ "Sweet Leaf" in close second. There should be more songs w/ the overdriven harp following the guitar!

At this time I would like to tell you that NO MATTER WHAT...IT IS WITH GOD. HE IS GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL. HIS WAY IS IN LOVE, THROUGH WHICH WE ALL ARE. IT IS TRULY -- A LOVE SUPREME --. John Coltrane
That is WAY too tough of a question. :)
Sabbath was my high school band... before I heard Rush, they were the kings.
In general, I really love the early stuff, but the band came in to their own with regards to songwriting in the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath/Sabotage era, in my humble opinion.
Anyway, instead of saying my favorite, I will list two personal favorites that I consider underrated gems.
After Forever (Master of Reality)
Spiral Architect (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath)
You really can't go wrong with the first 6 albums.
I was a 13-year old teenager - then Paranoid and Black Night (Deep Purple) came out the same month.....

Ha ha, I'm much younger than Vic - I was 13 when Heaven and Hell was released, with the big-voiced elf on vocals.
A vote for the Dio era!

Symptom of the Universe. I love that riff!

Well I was in high school when Heaven & Hell came out so that put's me in between Vic and slejhamer (WAIT!! That don't sound right!! :shock: :shock: :shock: !!!!).
I am going to cheat and give 2 songs: One from the Ozzy era and one from Dio.
Ozzy Era: N.I.B.
Dio Era: Heaven & Hell
It's amazing that Tony Iomni created such amazing riffs yet they are fairly simple to play. They sound so full and IMO better han ANY shredder.
I've got waaaayyy too many. :D
Megalomania,
Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath,
&
Electric Funeral
are current favorites.
I've got Black Sabbath to Sabotage . I've been playing the heck out of Paranoid and Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath lately. :D :twisted:

NEVER SAY DIE
If I cut the tips of my frethand fingers and melt plastic bottlecaps to them w/ leather covers I'll sound just like Tony Iommi right? Well maybe I'll practice alittle more first....Ironman has to be one of the most common songs people learn when starting out I would guess. I am rather fond of the santa claus version.

Who needs a signature?
I mean really...
It's almost always lyrics...
or a cliche...
or garbage about me...
Lets just save YOU from the pain, ok?
War Pigs
I have only heard one black sabbath song i think, not sure if i have heard others but the song i know is iron man and it's a really cool song i'm thinking of teaching myself to play it :) by the way if you did'nt already know iron man is one of the songs on guitar hero for ps2 i have guitar hero, it's really cool with quite a lot of really good songs, and it's sort of helping me with my real guitar skills anyway i've written enough now so ill see you all around 8)
...It's Somthing unpredictable, But in the end is right, I hope you have the time of your life...
