My favorite 10 Black Sabbath Songs

The band that opened the gateway for me. Their debut was the first metal album I ever acquired, and naturally it was on cassette. I think my picks are a tad untraditional, but Sabbath is one of those great bands where you must delve past the greatest hits and best known to find the gems.


10. Behind the Wall of Sleep


9. Killing Yourself to Live


8. Hand of Doom


7. Cornucopia



















6. After Forever



















5. The Wizard




















4. Megalomania


3. Thrill of it All


2. Black Sabbath




















1. The Writ

    2. Sabra Cadabra
    And my number one would definitely have to be...

    Listening to The Writ, I can see how it matches up with your tastes quite a bit.

    I think its awesome and hilarious that only 1 song is in both of our lists! Children of the Grave and Sabra Cadabra would probably be 11 and 12 for me though... wait but then there's Into the Void and Wicked World.... argh

    I think that it shows the scope of their catalog. They've got something for everyone. I'm pretty sick of their overdone songs though. Iron Man, Paranoid, War Pigs, etc... In my opinion, both of our lists could go toe to toe with them and win. Plus I just had to add in some Dio era Heaven and Hell.
