Classics Part One: Black Sabbath

Ahhhhhh Sabbath, the Godfathers of all things heavy and of course all things Metal \m/. It amazes me every time I play a Sabbath song or album how relevant they still are today, sure some of their songs sound dated but everything else sounds as if it could have been recorded yesterday.

Pretty much every Metal band in existence owes something to Black Sabbath, their influence can be felt every where.

I could hear Paranoid every single day and never tire of it. I remember the first time I heard Black Sabbath, it was coming home from a school trip and this guy put Self-Titled on the bus stereo, and skipped to The Wizard, I was spellbound and I have been a fan ever since.

I love the simplicity of the album covers and the fact that you put an album on you can seem to never want to turn it off:

sabbath

paranoid

master

vol4

bloody sabbath

sabotage

I would post albums after Sabotage but they just don’t have the same magic.
