It is a very cliched statement but I still maintain that if you could only have one 'metal' band in your collection it would be Black Sabbath always.

I played the album Paranoid for the first time in a couple of years a few days back and it still blew me away. It is not my favourite of theirs. I don't like the title track and Iron Man doesn't do a lot for me but the last 4 tracks are just insane. The drum patterns in Rat Salad. The chunky riffs in Hand Of Doom. The effortless tempo changes in Fairies Wear Boots and all this from a band that were literally making it up as they went along.

Masters Of Reality is probably my favourite album though. The tempo change on After Forever and the main riff on Into The Void have never been bettered in my eyes.
