Ditto for me on the Sabbath tune. Definitely my favourite track of theirs.

As a big stoner doom fan, Paranoid is the 'well from whence it came,' so it gets my vote.

I agree: Master of Reality is the best; it is such a pioneering album.
"Into the Void" is also one of my all-time favourites.

Apparently I'm the only one who loves Volume 4.

I like it because it has all the heaviness of the earlier albums but with more diversity in the song writing. I find any of the first 3 albums a bit of a slog to get through in one sitting to be honest.

High five to the other one who voted for Vol4!

It sounds like we like it for similar reasons. You cant discount any Sabbath album, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath alongwith Master of Reality are not far behind at all but Vol4 gets the nod from me.

I also look at it as more of a diverse record, especially for Iommi. Its let down by Changes but is so close to being a perfect record.

Im also a huge fan of stoner rock and doom metal, but I view this album as more of an influence than Paranoid, personally.

Vol. 4 is no slouch, that's for sure. After Master, my second favourite is Vol. 4.

Bastards of Young - We're in agreement again. Master of Reality was the first Black Sabbath album I ever bought. I was in either 5th or 6th grade, so about 11 or 12 years old. I remember I asked my mom to pick it up for me and, my sister opened the album and took the poster that came with it. I was so pissed off! She was older than me so I had a hard time getting it back. Anyway, my vote is Master of Reality followed by Paranoid, Vol. 4 and the 1st album. Great memories!

yeah. I wish I had the poster.

Non Sabbath related, I saw this vinyl.. and I had no money.. I was going to go back a few days later, and they shut down and closed the doors before I could...

yeah, that is an actual rolling paper, not a poster..... rare to find copies of the album with the paper still in it.. but the copy they had did, it was there... and it was only $10.
