Black Sabbath - Album Ranking 

I love Forbidden, to me its very underrated album. Those heavy riffs are awesome, Tony Martin's vocal is one of my fav in rock/metal of all time!

One of the most bonkers rankings I have ever watched lol. Each to their own though!

Nice video, my ranking 1. Master of Reality 2. Paranoid 3. Vol 4 4. Black Sabbath 5. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 6. Heaven and Hell 7. Sabotage 8. Mob Rules 9. 13 10. Born Again 11. Thyr 12. Dehumanizer 13. Cross Purposes 14. Seventh Star 15. Technical Ecstasy 16. Headless Cross 17. The Eternal Idol 18. Never Say Die! 19. Forbidden

Technical Ecstasy & Never Say Die are two criminally underrated albums. I don’t care if there was turmoil in the band at the time, it’s what’s on the record that matters.

Horrible 1st album is #1 on my list… I turned the video off

WOW debut would be much higher for me. I think it's my number 2 right after Sabotage. That's the beauty of Sabs though - with the line up changes etc It's wide open for what people may enjoy more. I've never heard a Sabbath l.p I didn't love in some way... At their least I always enjoy hearing Iommi.

I love sabbath lists, I just watched your Ozzy list. Personally, I include The Devil You Know from Heaven and Hell. It's the same lineup as Dehumanizer and Mob Rules.

5- Sabotage 4 - Sabbath, Bloody, Sabbath 3 - Master Of Reality 2 - Heaven And Hell #1 - Paranoid

Though I appreciate your channel...I wholeheartedly disagree with your ranking. I personally enjoy Black Sabbath...Paranoid...Master Of Reality..Volume 4 & Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

1. Vol. 4 2. Heaven & Hell 3. Master of Reality 4. Paranoid 5. Mob Rules 6. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 7. Black Sabbath 8. Sabotage 9. Dehumanizer 10. The Eternal Idol

The Tony Martin albums have always been sadly under rated IMO. All their albums are special to me in some way, but my favourite albums are the first three, Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, Born Again and The Eternal Idol. But like I said, I like them all.

I really enjoyed the deluxe edition of Born Again lately : on the 2nd cd, you can hear Black sabbath perform Smoke on the water 😊 Master of reality is my favorite album by them. But actually, they never made a bad album.

Thanks for the discussio. but I gotta say Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die (though I love them) don’t hold a candle to Master Of Reality which is their best album

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! YOU ARE WRONG.. THE DEBUT RECORD IS NOWHERE NEAR THEIR THIRD WORST ALBUM! WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? WRONG, INCORRECT. YOUR OPINION IS WRONG!!!!

DEHUMANIZER HIGHER THAN SABOTAGE!!! NOOOOOOOO AGAINNN..........

Some of Sabbath’s supposed “deep cuts” are among my favorites of theirs: “Born Again”, “Wishing Well”, “Thrill of It All”, “ You Won’t Change Me”, “Solitude”, “Cornucopia”, “Too Late”, etc. All are masterpieces.

1. Mob Rules 2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 3. Heaven and Hell 4. Sabotage 5. Master of Reality 6. Paranoid 7. Dehumanizer 8. Volume 4 9. Black Sabbath 10. Headless Cross 11. TYR 12. Born Again 13. The Devil You Know 14. The Eternal Idol 15. Cross Purposes 16. Seventh Star 17. Never Say Die 18. 13 19. Technical Ecstacy 20. Forbidden

Interessante sua forma de análise, que vai pra lá e prá cá.... vários argumentos interessantes. Porém, sim porém termina o ranking com Paranoid??? O Álbum mais óbvio??? Ah não, nesse caso o like torna-se Deslike.

Imo, Sabotage is my all time favorite. Master of Reality is grand too. Thanks Brendon as you keep churning out quality viewing.

1. Sabotage 2. Master of Reality 3. Paranoid 4. Mob Rules 5. SBS . . . 18. Forbidden 19. 13 (as you mentiones, this is just a rehash of older formula, ozzy sounds lazy, he pushes himself more on his solo records.)

Great video! Personally I dont rank technical ecstasy or never say die in my top 10 because I hear the cracks forming in the band. Sabotage, Vol. 4, and master of reality will always be my top 3. They all tend to flip around lol

volume 4 and sabotage are maybe their best albums

Very difficult band to rank with the different eras. I see people give quite different lists on youtube which is really cool. I like your ranking Brendon- I agree with you about the debut! I have all their albums apart from Thirteen, Forbidden and Cross Purposes- which I have not really listened to. I will need to think carefully about my ranking of the ones I do have before I post something in full. But my top 5 BS albums are: 1. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 2. Sabotage 3. Heaven and Hell 4. Mob Rules 5. Technical Ecstasy.

Wow, the debut that far down? Hey, I give you BIG TIME credit for having the seeds to put that out there(I totally disagree; but this is about opinions). My ranking: 20: Seventh Star. To me it sounds notably like an Iommi solo record more so than being within Sabbath's wheelhouse. 19: Headless across. There are some good songs here, but I LOATHE that 80's synth sound. 18. Forbidden. I really don't get the dislike for this. 17. Cross Purposes, another underrated Martin album, imo. 16. TYR, I love Annu Mundi 15: The Devil You Know. This has progressively grown on me. 14: The Eternal Idol. Convinced of this wasn't their 5th singer, it would have done much better. (Generally, I feel if they called the band Iommi during the Martin era, people would have given all of those a better chance.) 13: I seem to like it better then most do 12: Heaven and Hell. The title track is my favorite non Ozzy tune 11: Never Say Die. Yes, it's got some off the wall sounds, and I think they're awesome. 10. Mob Rules 9: Born Again. I love Ian and Tony together. 8: Technical Ecstacy. You won't Change me is an absolute favorite. 7: Dehumanizer. My favorite DioSab 6. Sabotage 5. SabBloodySab 4. Debut/ST 3. Master of Reality 2. Paranoid 1. Vol4

1. Black Sabbath 2. Paranoid 3. Master of Reality 4. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 5. Vol. 4

All subjective, imho 1) Master of Reality 2) Heaven and Hell 3) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 4) Sabotage 5) Mob Rules 6) Paranoid 7) Vol. 4 8) Black Sabbath 9) Dehumanizer 10) The Devil You Know 11) Headless Cross 12) Born Again 13) Never Say Die 14) Eternal Idol 15) TYR 16) Cross Purposes 17) Technical Ecstasy 18) 13 19) Seventh Star 20) Forbidden

Watch until 17 then left

Respect your rank opinion, but I disagree with high ranks given to Technical Ecstacy and Never Day Die. Those Albums would of been a lot lower on my rank list! Very cool review though, cheers!

Wow you ranked Never Say Die over Vol.4. Born Again over the Debut. The only good song on Never Say Die is Juniors Eyes. Don't get me wrong any Sabbath album is a good album.

I don't think that there's a bad album that has been released under the name "BS", I just don't consider the non-Ozzy albums, Sabbath albums. Their first 8 albums are my favorites (with Master of Reality being for me the most perfect of all), and 2 really great albums, "Born Again" and "Mob Rules" completing the top ten!

No 15 Headless Cross lol. Are you crazy my friend?

Black Sabbath at 17 ruined the rest of the list.

1.born again 2.sabotage 3. sabbath bloody sabbath 4.master of reality 5.volume 4 I just want to add I never want to hear the songs paranoid or heaven and hell again

1. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 2. Heaven & Hell 3. Sabotage 4. Vol. 4 5. Technical Ecstasy

Hopefully the remix taht is supposedly happening for Forbidden will improve it though I have to agree that its not their greatest. I also dont have much love for 13 it felt like a Sabbath by numbers album which could have been what they were trying to produce. If i had to choose betwween any of the vocalists that Sabbath had I'd put Ozzy at the bottm as I prefer the voices of all the others - but having said said , because of the music on them (mainly due to the keyboards) today my favourite Sabbath albums are Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die followed by Mob Rules then Sabotage, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, Born Again, The Eternal Idol, Headless Cross, Master of Reality, Seventh Star, Dehumanizer, Tyr, Cross Purposes, Paranoid, Black Sabbath, IV. The Devil you know isnt but is a Black Sabbath Album even though its credited to Heaven and HEll who were fantastic live. That woud probably slot in after Dehumanizer.

I'd have vol 4 and sabotage much higher

Nice never say die getting love. I dig the album not sure I'd put it that high lol but it's good to see it getting some love.

Vol. 4. Thanks.

Love the love for NSD and Air Dance. I do think Vol 4 is their best tho. Amazing how varied the opinions are among Sab fans, isn’t it?

My top five: 1- Sabotage 2- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 3- Heaven and Hell 4- Master of Reality 5- Volume 4

WOW. I was shocked at 3:00! How does an album with behind the wall of sleep, NIB, the wizard, and black Sabbath rank below born again, technical ecstasy, and never say die!

putting dehumanizer, never say die, seventh star, eternal idol, and technical ecstasy over sabotage and volume four is crazy

you should do Ozzy Osbourne solo album ranking next

1. Technical Ecstasy (Love it Today) 2. Sabotage 3. Never Say Die 4. Paranoid 5. Vol. 4 6. Seventh Star In the Past I prefer the first Four Albums - so it’s changing over the Years ! I think Sabotage or Technical Ecstasy is still classic Sabbath little more modern maybe ! The Sound chaged on Never Say Die first Time !

Wow! The most interesting ranking of Sabbath albums I ever saw. Wow. Unpredictable to say the least

Getting to this a year later... I love this video, Brendon! I think I have a largely different ranking, but I also acknowledge I am unfamiliar with some records, and under-familiar with more than that. I do love how high you put Technical Ecstasy -- that was the record that came out when I, as youth, was first paying attention to what was then-forthcoming from the band. And I didn't hear Never Say Die until a couple/few decades later, LOL. One of the various rankings Martin Popoff did, on a video panel, had these two ranked #2 and #1 (!) -- love the contrarian take. My own #1 is probably Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. But still/always in flux on what I'm most paying attention to with the band! So whatever with "agreeing' with a ranking -- I don't care about that. I love how you articulate what it is that strikes you in each record, and as what's-best-in the variability of the music.

# 1 Album is simple. The Devil you know, Master of reality,Sabotage,Sabbath blo0dy sabbath,Dehumanizer,Vol 4,Born again,eternal Idol,Heaven and Hell all rank number 1. Every other album ranks #2. It's that fkn simple.

1. Dehumanizer 2. Mob Rules 3. Heaven and Hell 4. Sabotage 5. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 6. Born Again 7. Forbidden 8. Headless Cross 9. Masters of Reality 10. Cross Purposes 11. Try 12. Seventh Star 13. Black Sabbath 14. Vol 4 15. Paranoid 16. Thirteen 17. Technical Ecstasy 18. Never Say Die

I prefer the Ray Gillen demos on Eternal Idol. Tony Martin is awesome on the later albums. I just feel that EI was all written for Ray. I’m glad the deluxe version includes the demos on the 2nd disc. RIP Ray.

Ray Gillen was a PHENOMENAL singer! Ray Gillen was as good as Dio. YES, I SAID THAT BECAUSE HE WAS!!!!

Interesting ranking and one that will puzzle many e.g. ranking Never Say Die higher than Vol.4 or Master Of Reality. Still refreshing to see a different perspective from the general consensus. For me, rather boringly, i give Vol.4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage as the band's peak creative and most progressive period. Agree that the Tony Martin catalogue doesn't receive much recognition but maybe this is due to the rather formulaic material which, although heavy, lacks the adventurousness of the aforementioned 3 albums.

1. Heaven & Hell 2. Dehumanizer 3. Sabbath bloody sabbath 4. Mob Rules 5. Debute

You're not alone on the debut, I've always found it severely over-rated. Love the title track and N.I.B. (and Wicked World on the US version) but the rest of it is a boring plod for me. My Top 5: Master of Reality, The Mob Rules, Paranoid, Born Again, Heaven & Hell

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Vol 4 Sabatoge Master of Reality Black Sabbath Paranoid Heaven and Hell Born Again Mob rules I like ke to combine the last two Ozzy ones, Die In Ecstasy, Back Street Kids You Won’t Change Me It’s Alright Juniors Eyes A Hard Road All Moving Parts, Stand Still Air Dance Rock n Roll Doctor Over to you Breakout Swinging the Chain After Born Again they repeated the Heaven and Hell sound. Became standardized. Generic.

I'm not a guy who has been there and I'm jaded by oh my first Black Sabbath album had Ozzy in it. I'm jaded in the way I listen to music. I love all Sabbath but Ronnie and Tony Martin are my favorite albums. I love Ozzy don't get me wrong but I'll throw in a nausea album before I throw in a Black Sabbath with Ozzy album.

The self titled album is a masterpiece. It’s one of the greatest albums ever made.

never seen a Black Sabbath album ranking as bad as this!

Cross purposes and dehumanizer and tyr are the ones I listen to the most

You are out of touch with Black Sabbath. Lousy ranking. Amateurish.

Wow! A very unusual ranking. I appreciate it, despite the debut ranking so low! 😉 It is the founding stone for heavy rock/metal. The title track alone is unique and a masterpiece. Interesting you ranked the following Paranoid as your no.1. TMO there is not such a big difference between the two. The sound becomes different on the third album (for some the first doom or stoner metal album). My top 5 BS (in no specific order): Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Heaven and Hell, Paranoid, Mob Rules and the debut. Btw I think the Martin era is a bit underrated. They made quite good records with him.

Interesting list, no favouritism towards the classic line up or certain vocalists. I may be in the minority but i always felt that once Ozzy & Bill had gone they should have renamed the band, make a clean break so comparisons need be drawn. Ronnie was the best vocalist as he was in Rainbow but having different vocalists gave the band new life & a new audience. Ozzy was not the best singer but the most iconic, the one everyone associates with the Black Sabbath name. Personally i have always loved Master of Reality, followed by Vol 4, Sabotage, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Mob Rules & Heaven & Hell. The original lineup had a stronger set of albums than any subsequent grouping bar the mediocre final two albums. Nice list, enjoyed the Kiss list also.

Great vid! Cool to see Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die get some love. Many folks put those down lower and I’ve always loved them.

Now that's a ballsy ranking in a lot of spots! I do agree that one of their most beloved albums amongst the fanbase, Sabotage, has never really resonated with me either. I agree that the music on it, while good, just doesn't stick with me. I rarely want to play it but...that seems to be a minority opinion as so many Sabbath fans rank it right near the top.

I agree with 13. Such a disappointment.

I love forbidden it's one of my favorite probably in my top ten sabbath albums but 13 is not good.

1 - Paranoid, the best album in Rock history. 2 - Master Of Reality, the definitive sound of Sabbath. 3 - Volume 4, a heavy masterpiece. 4 - Black Sabbath, jazz and rock had a baby, another masterpiece. 5 - Sabbath Bloddy Sabbath, the last great album and the most highest point of the band. 6 - Sabotage, the desire to be Sabbath again, excellent album. 7 - Technical Ecstasy, they got lost looking for something different. Anyway, it's a great album. 8 - 13, good album, but kinda monotonous and boring. 9 - Never Say Die, a drowning slap.

Sorry I had to stop at 17!!!!! What on earth are you talking about? The bible of heavy metal, the BLACK SABBATH album!!!!!so mixed up are you that the next album is Tony Martin on vocals ?????? I dread to think where this is going……

Very little to disagree with there in the top 5. I would personally bring Sabotage and Vol 4 further up the chart in exchange for Seventh Star and Eternal Idol. Great video though man.

Hi Brendon!! nice to see your take on Black Sabbath's catalogue, i do agree with some your opinions like 13 and others like Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die, well not so much, lol..... to me Vol 4 and Master of Reality are masterpieces, also H&H. Still need to get on physical format their stuff after Born Again up to Forbidden (i'll wait for the reissue though....) Btw thad the chance to see live Heaven and Hell and Black Sabbath's last two gigs here!!! cheers and be well

I grew up with this band, but honestly I only have about a half dozen of their records, because most of the rest, I just didn't care for enough to fork out the money. My favourite is Paranoid, and that will always be so. Master of Reality would probably come second. I liked the debut, but except for a few tracks, I didn't like it that much. Sabbath IV again had a lot of good tracks, but a few I didn't like. I pretty much signed off at this point. I had a friend who was a huge fan, and he bought everything, which I did hear, but I think I only really liked Sabbath Bloody Sabbath out of all of those. I didn't get back into them until Born Again, and the Ronnie James Dio years, with Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell, and I saw the Mob Rules tour, which was fantastic. Then I signed off again, and only bought the album "13" which I thought was quite good. Like many other bands of that time, I need to go back again and look at some of the albums I pushed aside at the time, and have a listen with new/old ears. They are from my original hometown of Birmingham, England, so they always have a spot in my heart because of that.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks the debut album is overrated.

we do hear things differently... but appreciate your choices

You should do a rating of all projects that Cozy Powell worked on. That would be exciting. Drummer, drummer! I enjoyed you B.S. list.

My top 5: 1. Headless Cross 2. Sabotage 3. Paranoid 4. Heaven and Hell 5. Born Again My bottom 5: 1. Never Say Die! 2. Seventh Star 3. Forbidden 4. The Eternal Idol 5. Dehumanizer

Black Sabbath created great music. My two fave's are the debut album and Heaven and Hell.

1. Dehumanizer 2. Heaven and Hell 3. Cross Purposes 4. Mob Rules 5. Seventh Star 6. The Eternal Idol 7. Tyr 8. Born Again 9. Headless Cross 10. The Devil You Know 11. Master Of Reality 12. Vol 4 13. Never Say Die 14. Paranoid 15. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 16. 13 17. Sabotage 18. Technical Ecstasy 19. Black Sabbath 20. Forbidden Iommi/Hughes 'Fused' would fall between #9/10 'The End' and BestBuy bonus tracks from '13' would fall between #12/13

We all have our favorites. I really liked Tony Martin with Sabbath.

I've flushed more Sabbath than this guy has sailed on. He's so wrong so many times

SABOTAGE ‼️ Hard Rocks Holy Grail ‼️

Your list had a lot of surprises for me. My top three: 1) Heaven and hell - 1980 2) Technical ecstasy - 1976 3) Black Sabbath s/t - 1970 I also like Iommi/Hughes album "Fused". Fantastic!

This is roughly how I rank them. 19. 13 18. Never Say Die 17. Technical Ecstasy 16. Black Sabbath 15. Vol 4 14. Master Of Reality 13. Seventh Star 12. Forbidden 11. Headless Cross 10. Paranoid 09. Heaven And Hell 08. Tyr 07. Sabbotage 06. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 05. Eternal Idol 04. Cross Purposes 03. Mob Rules 02. Born Again 01. Dehumanizer

Is this all of these albums are yours or this is a music shop or something I'm started listening sabbath when i was 11 now i have heaven and hell 13 and i want to buy paranoid or mob rules

They should never have taken off their makeup.

It's nice to see Never Say Die get some praise.

De q hablas puro bla bla bla

Great ranking. My personal ranking 20: Forbidden, songs feel uninspired. Tony Iommi propably had his mind on the Ozzy reunion. 19: Never say Die! This shows that the band has fallen apart. Ozzy sounds disinterested and aside from the title track and that’s only because it feels like a Thin Lizzy song. Junior eyes is ok for what it is. I personally can’t stand Johnny blade. Everything else is just forgettable 18: Born again, there are some good songs here Disturbing the Priest, Zero the hero and and the Title Track, but the mix ruins the whole thing for me. It’s muddy and way too raw for its own good. 17: Cross Purposes: a decent record, but it’s feels out of its time so the all the keyboard textures. Coming out in 94 when Grunge and alt rock is all the rage, this falls flat for me. 16: seventh Star: don’t even want to include this cause it wasn’t meant to be a Sabbath Album, but was suppose to be an Iommi Solo, but the label forced him to do. Like Glenn Hughes vocals and songs like In for the Kill, Turn to Stone, Seventh Star, good songs. Not sabbath but decent. 15: technical Ecstasy..this feels more like Sabbath trying to make a Queen Record. Queen is one of my favorite bands, but this style doesn’t do Sabbath any favors. Backstreet kidz and Dirty women are the only goood songs on this. Rock roll doctor sounds, just dumb. If it would’ve been a KISS song I would get it. As a sabbath song, I don’t. 14: Eternal Idol: might’ve been higher if Ray Gillen would’ve song, because I can tell these written with his vocal style in mind, but as is, not to bad. Like songs like The Shining, Glory Ride and Eternal idol. Nightmare could’ve worked on a Dio era sabbath Record 13: TYR: great song, interesting concept. Like songs like Anno Mundi and the Sabbath Stones. The only thing is Feels Good To Me should’ve not been on there at all 12: Sabotage, (sorry) like Hole in the Sky and Symptom of the Universe, but that’s not enough for me to put it higher 11: The Devil you know. I think this album is great. bible black is one of favorite Dio era songs. Atom and Evil and Breaking into heaven. This is just doomy and heavy and I adore it 9: headless Cross. I really like this one. The title track headless cross is a great song. Night wing. Devil and Daughter. When Death Calls is easily the best Tony Martin era Sabbath song. 8: Black Sabbath debut: I like it. Title track, NIB and wicked. It’s creepy, haunting and forbodding. 7: Dehumanizer: this is the heaviest Sabbath Album. Songs like Computer God, Time Machine, After All the Dead, I, Sins of the Father, just amazing 6: paranoid: might be a little low for some, but I never need to hear Paranoid or Iron Man again. Still like War Pigs. The rest is solid 5: volume 4: I like the experimentation here, also giving us some great material like Cornucopia, Under the Sun, Supernaut and Snowblind. Also really love Wheels of Confusion 4: Mob Rules: Sign of the Southern Cross..don’t really need to say any more than that. Great production, also a solid debut from Vinny Appice on Drums, filling in great with the band after Bill Ward 3: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath: The band at the proggiest. Amazing songs like the title Track, National Acrobat, Spiral architect and Sabbra Cadabra, just amazing songwriting from start to finish 2: master of Reality: sweet Leaf, After Forever, Lord Of This world and Children of the Grave. Those are enough to put it in my top 3. Don’t mind Solitude. 1: Heaven and Hell. I can’t really say anything other than you have Dio singing with Sabbath and Martin Birch is producing. What more is there to say? Neon Knight, Children of the Sea, Lady Evil, Die Young, all just total Bangers! And then there’s the title Track, Heaven and hell…can’t get enough Of it

Boy you will get some negativity for this but ...Send me that shirt 😁

Vol 4 at 13? Too low for me. That’s actually my number one. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Vol.4 pretty much go hand in hand, though SBS is a little softer, so it’s a little odd that there’s such a big gap between them two albums in your rankings

Well I've got your top two and I've had master of reality on the back burner I used to have it on eight track I'm still looking for black Sabbath the disco years can't find it anywhere lol

How about a shout out to ray Guillen who's work on the shining is better than tonys

Great stuff. And i love the fact that that not evryone likes the same albums in the same order. So this is not an criticise, but 13 ranked so low :/ and debut, for heaven´s sake, there is the song Black Sabbath, there is Behind The Wall Of Sleep, N.I.B. fucking Wicked World and The Wizard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IC'mon :D :D ....Anyways, keep up the good work!!! Thumbs up!

when i see never say die and tech ecstasy high on a list i pay attention

Ranking the self-titled in 17th sure went over well for you, eh? Even if your reasoning is completely valid, your opinion still sucks 😂 good ranking, I'm planning to do one myself someday. So far I'm 6 albums in, and Sabotage is my favorite, yes it's a bit of a departure from the classic doomy Sabbath but it hits so hard and in my opinion has Ozzy's greatest vocal performances ever. My least favorite is SBS, please don't kill me, I doubt it will remain my least favorite, but it's just a little too prog rocky for me, plus Who Are You? sucks big time. Can't say I'm really looking forward to the last 2 Ozzy albums, hehe, but I'm definitely excited for the Dio stuff.

Never Say Die

19. Forbidden 18. Technical Ecstasy 17. Thirteen 16. Never Say Die 15. Eternal Idol 14. Seventh Star 13. Cross Purposes 12. Black Sabbath 11. Born Again 10. Tyr 9. Volume 4 8. Dehumanizer 7. Headless Cross 6. Heaven and Hell 5. Sabotage 4. Paranoid 3. Master of Reality 2. Mob Rules 1. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Technical extacy and never say die I've never seen them ranked that high. We all like what we like that's what makes channels like this interesting.

Here is my list. I am counting The Devil You Know, as it features the same lineup as Mob Rules and Dehumanizer. My list fluctuates often, but the top ten list is never infiltratred by any albums from the bottom half. 20. The Eternal Idol 19. Forbidden 18. Headless Cross 17. Seventh Star 16. Tyr 15. Cross Purposes 14. Never Say Die 13. 13 12. Technical Ecstacy 11. The Devil You Know 10. Black Sabbath 9. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 8. Dehumanizer 7. Volume Four 6. Born Again 5. Paranoid 4. Sabotage 3. Master of Reailty 2. Heaven and Hell 1. Mob Rules

1) Heaven and hell 2) sabotage 3) sabbath bloody sabbath 4) volume 4 5) debut 6) mob rules 7) master of reality 8) paranoid 9) Tyr 10) dehumanizer 11) born again 12) eternal idol 13) devil you know 14) technical ecstasy 15) cross purposes 16) headless cross 17) never say die 18) 13 19) seventh star 20) forbidden

Wow you put never say die pretty high on your list, good job, I too love that album, it's so underrated, I actually don't mind the Rick wakeman keyboard parts.

Just curious where would you personally rank Heaven and Hell “The Devil You Know” (2009)? I know it’s technically not a ‘Sabbath album but it’s the same band lineup from 1981 (MOB RULES period) and many like myself include it as part of their discography. Where do you place it on your list?
