Headless Cross, TYR and Cross Purposes are top tier Sabbath albums, no matter what era. Hopefully they get around to remastering and re-releasing the Tony Martin era.
Sorry but I would not call any album after mob rules as top tier, nothing to do with the singer. I like dehumanizer and the devil you know and 13 but not top tier either.
Yes Heaven and Hell at number one , that Album is a 24 carat stone cold classic alongside Rainbow Rising , never say Dio indeed !!!!. News from the UK is that Iommi has not started the Tony Martin Remasters but is working on Born Again , only rumours though. Stay Well Mate.
Thanks for posting your rankings. Here is my top 10 Sabbath albums. 1. Heaven and Hell 2. Mob Rules 3. Headless Cross 4. Eternal Idol (Ray Gillen vocals version) 5. Tyr 6. Dehumanizer 7. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 8. Vol. IV 9. Master of Reality 10. Sabotage
AC/DC, Van Halen & Rainbow would be other notable ones for me that year, but Priest would definitely be my #1 for 1978. Thanks for commenting on that, just wanted bring things into perspective for the time. Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
It's very hard to choose your favourite Sabbath albums but here is my top 10. 1.black Sabbath 2.masters of reality 3.vol.4 .4.sabotage.5.heaven and hell .6.mob rules 7.eternal Idol 8=headless cross 9.tyr.10.paranoid
Ranking Black Sabbath albums isn't easy. They had different eras, so they had different styles over the years. But to make it easy, my least favourite is "Forbidden" and my #1 is "Black Sabbath".
Good video, Born Again remix is apparently taking some time, Tony Iommi said we have to be patient, but it is definitely happening that’s the main thing
Great ranking, Darcy! As always, you deliver some interesting and enjoyable material. 1. Black Sabbath 2. Heaven and Hell 3. Mob Rules 4. Tyr 5. Headless Cross 6. Paranoid 7. Master of Reality 8. Vol. 4 9. Dehumanizer 10. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 11. Sabotage 12. Born Again 13. Cross Purposes 14. The Eternal Idol 15. The Devil You Know 16. 13 17. Never Say Die! 18. Technical Ecstacy 19. Seventh Star 20. Forbidden
For me: 1. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 2. Mob Rules 3. Sabotage 4. Vol.4 5. Master of Reality 6. Paranoid 7. Heaven and Hell 8. Dehumanizer 9. Black Sabbath 10. Born Again 11. Technical Ecstasy 12. Devil in the Details 13. 13 14. Headless Cross 15. Never Say Die 16. The Eternal Idol 17. Seventh Star 18. Cross Purposes 19. TYR 20 Forbidden
That's a great ranking, probably because it is similar to mine: 1. Mob Rules (1981) 2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973) 3. Heaven and Hell (1980) 4. Sabotage (1975) 5. Paranoid (1970) 6. Master of Reality (1971) 7. Dehumanizer (1992) 8. Volume 4 (1972) 9. Born Again (1983) 10. Black Sabbath (1970) 11. Headless Cross (1989) 12. Tyr (1990) 13. The Devil You Know (2009) 14. The Eternal Idol (1987) 15. Cross Purposes (1994) 16. Seventh Star (1986) 17. Never Say Die (1978) 18. 13 (2013) 19. Technical Ecstacy (1976) 20. Forbidden (1995)
Quite an undertaking ranking all these. I remember you telling me to give Headless Cross a try last year and I enjoyed it. I thought your number 1 would be that. I'm on my 3rd listen of Accept - Breaker today though. I can't believe how much I love it. 24 hours ago I didn't know it lol.
I’m pumped your on a Accept mission, Breaker to Russian Roulette is essential German Metal! Great time on the stream last night mate, thanks for having me 🤘
Excellent ranking Darcy. Great effort you put out in there. Happy to see that both Tyr and Headless Cross are getting appreciated. Those 2 are my favourite Black Sabbath albums. Yes, blasphemy to many, but Tony Martin is one hell of a singer! Cheers.
Nice to see Headless Cross in the top half, great album! They are talking a May release for the Tony Martin era box set, hope that happens! Thanks for watching & sharing your ranking 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Wow, this was different and surprising. Got into Sabbath around 1980! “Paranoid” & Heaven And Hell” were my 1st two Black Sabbath Albums I bought. Opinions will always vary, but “Black Sabbath”, “Paranoid” not ranked in the top 10 with little emphasis and “Sabotage” chosen as #3 (the best Ozzy Era Album)??? Holy Supertzar! Lol
Yeah I was a little later than you getting into them, and I do understand what you’re saying regarding those classics! First 2 with RJD was where I started, sure I heard a few songs before that but didn’t dig deep. First Ozzy era album was Sabotage. Thanks for respectfully giving me shit lol, we can’t agree on everything but we can have fun trying! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
I never understood the Tony Martin era. Hated his vocals. But to each their own. The first 6 albums are the template for Heavy Metal. 1. Sabotage 2. Master Of Reality 3. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 4. Black Sabbath 5. Paranoid 6. Volume 4 Ian Gillan Era: 7. Born Again Then the Dio albums 8. Heaven and Hell 9. Mob Rules 10 . The Devil You Know The rest are a mixed bag EXCEPT : 19. Never Say Die 20. Technical Ecstasy Just didn't like Tony Martin. Sorry Tony.
You definitely can’t argue the importance of the first 6 Black Sabbath albums, groundbreaking really! No need to be sorry about voicing your opinion here Lawerence, it’s all good … all the time lol. Thanks for sharing your list 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Definitely agree with you about Technical Ecstasy, it's actually a very pleasant listen... the remix on the deluxe box set makes it even better in my opinion. My two favorites are: Paranoid - Despite many of the songs being so overplayed in my youth, I still love the title track, Iron Man, War Pigs, etcetera (I always forget how good the latter half of Iron Man is, the solo is great) Electric Funeral is also a favorite of mine Love the mix as well, and it's a perfect length album, I like my albums shorter, 30-40 minutes. Sabotage - this is what got me into Sabbath, I'd heard Hole in the Sky from Pantera, and Symptom of the Universe from Metallica's little mid concert jams in the 90's. Those tracks are heavy as all hell... Megalomania is my all-time favorite Sabbath song, definitely their magnum opus song in my opinion. Thrill of it All and The Writ too? Phenomenal, something about the mixing and production, Ozzy's vocals on this, all of it makes a perfect album in my eyes. Glad to see we were on the same page about Sabotage, seems I'm always seeing people put it lower for some reason... but hey memusic is subjective, that's what makes it fun haha.
Yeah after Forgotten I mean Forbidden there is not shit albums. I hope they reissue Seventh Star too, add some cool extras from that era of the band. Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Great band, hard to rank but here it goes 1. Sabotage (1975) 2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973) 3. Heaven and Hell (1980) 4. Paranoid (1970) 5. Volume 4 (1972) 6. Master of Reality (1971) 7. Mob Rules (1981) 8. Black Sabbath (1970) 9. Headless Cross (1989) 10. Cross Purposes (1994) 11. Never Say Die (1978) 12. Dehumanizer (1992) 13. Born Again (1983) 14. Technical Ecstacy (1976) 15. The Eternal Idol (1987) 16. Tyr (1990) 17. The Devil You Know (2009) 18. 13 (2013) 19. Forbidden (1995) 20. Seventh Star (1986)
I believe Born Again, Dehumanizer, The Eternal Idol and TYR are Sabbath's most underrated albums. And these four albums I've always really liked. and in my opinion are verygood unique Sabbath albums. Great rankings video Darcy.👍 take care brother.🤘🍺
Some of the Tony Martin era just gets sloughed off as subpar Black Sabbath, it’s just not true! I’m hoping for a nice box set that, hopefully that appeals to more fans that have not given that era a chance. Cheers my metal brother 🤘 Have a great week
Sadly, there will never be a Tony Martin box set to even remasters whilst Sharon Osbourne has the power to shove her skeletor mush into the business dealings of Black Sabbath. Anyhoo, here’s my ranking. 20. Forbidden 19. Cross Purposes 18. 13 17. Never Say Die 16. Technical Ecstasy 15. Seventh Star 14. Born Again 13. Vol 4 12. Paranoid 11. Sabotage 10. Headless Cross 9. Eternal Idol 8. The Devil You Know 7. Black Sabbath 6. Tyr 5. Dehumanizer 4. Mob Rules 3. Master of Reality 2. Heaven and Hell 1. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Fairly similar list , except for where you placed Paranoid😮, i new immediately ok, he’s a Heaven And Hell guy…yup 13 Forbidden Headless Cross Seventh Star Cross Purposes Never Say Die Eternal Idol Tech Ex Tyr 10 Dehumanizer Born Again Mob Rules Heaven And Hell Sabotage Black Sabbath Master Of Reality Vol 4 Paranoid 1 Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Totally agree with your list except 'Born Again' would have been No. 3 for me . Hard to rank Sabbaths catalogue . Is that Nostrildamus on your shirt ... man with a large nose who could predict the future ? lol .... 👃.... Cheers Darcy .
He He Ronnie James DIO they are great albums but anyway still Black Sabbath Heaven And Hell And Mob Rules Top albums But i like Ozzy Too so Yes He and Dio I like them booth ....... DIO had this vice man i can`t put my finger on it but yes great show thanks.
Hi,the rune in the middle of the title of tyr,are in both futark's a m,so the title is tmr for whatever reason.Sabotage-Vol IV-Masters of Reality-S/T-Born Again-Paranoid agree with the commentary that iron man stuck in the grey matter,in an unpleasant annoying way😅
Didn't you have a Judas Priest ranking video? I went to watch it and cannot find it anywhere. Just purchased Invincible Shield (my first 'purchased' priest album). I really only know the songs they play on the radio, never dove into their discography so I was looking for your ranking video to see where I should go next....Thanks Darcy!
Hey Chris , yes I did have a Judas Priest ranking video, but I took it down. It needs to be updated, stay tuned it won’t be long until I do that. My review for Invincible Shield will be up tomorrow 🤘🛡️🤘
great...looking forward to it! Hopefully an updated Maiden ranking soon too! Your my go-to for this stuff....take care Darcy!@@darcysixstringsninelives3493
Hello mr hardrocker Just wanted to say it is something with your first love and therefore I like nr one the best (nr 4 and 13) also good. Have you ever tried to play a record backwards? Greetings from Stockholm...
Before I even watched this video, I thought if this guy ranks 'Forbidden' as the worst, I'm out. Yeah it's not great but it's WAY better than 'Seventh Star', which any self respecting Sabbath fan should clearly identify it as the pile of dog shit that it is. I never understood the vitriol people have for Forbidden. Yes, it's towards the bottom of their catalog, but they've done worse.
I won’t argue that, I love those 3 albums! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for some awesome Tony Martin era reissues, then the people that fell off the bus can jump back on lol. Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
It´s always great to celebrate the work of Tony Iommi and his partners in crime. Here´s mine: 1. Vol. 4 2. Master Of Reality 3. Heaven And Hell 4. Paranoid 5. Mob Rules 6. Sabotage 7. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 8. Black Sabbath 9. Dehumanizer 10. Seventh Star 11. Born Again 12. Cross Purposes 13. The Eternal Idol 14. Headless Cross 15. Tyr 16. 13 17. Technical Ecstasy 18. The Devil You Know 19. Never Say Die 20. Forbidden
My top 6: 1. Master of Reality 2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 3. Vol. 4 4. Black Sabbath 5. Paranoid 6. Sabotage These are all fantastic by the way. After that point they lose me, more or less..not a fan of the Dio era, but that's probably me. Maybe one day I'll get it.
My top 10 are the 1st 6 with Ozzy, 1st 2 with Dio, 7th Star and Eternal Idol. Honorable mentions, Devil You know, Tyr, Born Again. And there's good stuff on Dehumanizer and Never Say Die...and Technical Ecstasy. I rank Cross Purposes and Forbidden and 13 at the bottom. Hated most of Headless Cross.
I would have put HEAVEN AND HELL and MOB RULES as my top 2 Sabbath albums, as well. Getting that Tony Martin box set has been the highlight of my year, so far. And being able to play HEADLESS CROSS whenever I want is making me love it more and more.
Great ranking!🤘 In the early 80’s I was into Priest, Accept, Maiden, Saxon, Motörhead and Dio (soloband). I heard of Ozzy and Black Sabbath but was not a big fan. Listened to ”Born Again” when it came out and didn’t like it (do now🙂). It wasn’t until -87 when I first heard ”The Shining” that Sabbath really grabbed my attention. Since then I have come to appreciate most of their early work with Ozzy. And the Dio years are fantastic. But for me the Martin years will alwas be the ones I love most. Headless Cross and Tyr are outstanding albums. I saw them live in my hometown back in -95, and it was fantastic! Take care Darcy!🤘
20: Seventh Star 19: 13 18: Forbidden 17: Never Say Die 16: Technical Ecstasy 15: Tyr 14: Sabotage 13: Vol. 4 12: Cross Purposes 11: The Devil You Know 10: Headless Cross 9: The Eternal Idol 8: Paranoid 7: Black Sabbath 6: Heaven And Hell 5: Mob Rules 4: Master of Reality 3: Born Again 2. Dehumanizer 1: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath I enjoyed your video so much! I laughed at your bottom four, as they're the same as mine but in a different order. I wrote my list up before watching this video and man, I'll tell you, it's great to see some love for albums other than just the Ozzy Years. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of it, but Sabbath has such a diverse history with so many talented singers and musicians playing on the records. I'm 42 and got into the music in the early 90s. I bought SBS and Dehumanizer on cassette, I can't remember which was first, but both around the same time. I had no idea about Heaven & Hell, Paranoid, etc, so those albums were my favorites then and remain my Top Two (and to be fair, they're almost 1a and 1b for me).
Nice assortment in your Top 10! I’m sure you’re aware of the Tony Martin era set coming out in May, I’m actually looking forward to hearing the remixed version of Forbidden. Thanks for watching & sharing your ranking 🤘 Cheers from Canada
1. Seventh Star - Glenn is amazing. Iommis solos are stellar. the guitar phrasing is Iommis best because he went back to the blues 2. Headless Cross 3. Mob Rules 4.Tyr 5. Born Again - The heaviest and loudest Sabbath album
The Devil You Know is one of my top five Sabbath albums (it counts). It brings Dio's increasing heaviness from his later Dio band albums to Tony and Geezer's thunderous strings. That style bled into 13 too. I would say the rest of the favs are Heaven and Hell, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Mob Rules and Born Again. Vol. 4 and Master of Reality are also big favs. So much history!
One cool thing about Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the cover. Drew Struzan illustrated the cover, which shows the death of an evil man. As he lays dying, the demons come to torment him and take him to hell. The companion artwork depicts the death of a good man, who is surrounded by his loved ones and guardian lions, with angels and a spectral figure come to take him to heaven. Interestingly, Struzan modeled both figures on himself. Everyone knows the cover, but its 'good man' companion less so.
I highly recommend Bill Ward's solo album : BILL WARD ONE: ALONG THE WAY. A brilliant underrated album with plenty of guest musicians including Ozzy who sang in two tracks. Imagine Pink Floyd going metal,this is how this album sounds to me.
Damn, it's quite common to rank Forbidden at the bottom. I just listened to the whole album for the first time now that the remix is out and I gotta say, it's a pretty decent album with some memorable songs like Can't Get Close Enough, Rusty Angels, and Kiss of Death. I know many criticized it for the production, but the new one fixed it and Ice T only sings a spoken verse on The Ilusion of Power, which apart from Tony's odd singing, has some great doomy riffs. I'd personally rank it higher than Never Say Die, Cross Purposes and 13 (maybe higher than others, but I am not too sure).
I just got my Anno Domini box set the other day & I gotta say the remix of Forbidden is a game changer! They’re no way it’s at the bottom anymore! What a great set, finally Tony Martin gets some well-deserved recognition. Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Master of Reality Heaven and Hell Sabbath Bloody Sabbath The Mob Rules Sabotage Black Sabbath Vol. 4 Paranoid Dehumanizer Cross Purposes Born Again Tyr Headless Cross Technical Ecstasy 13 The Devil You Know The Eternal Idol Seventh Star Never Say Die Forbidden
Love your Top 5, all classics! Don’t know about you but I’m sure looking forward to Tony Martin era box set, remastered & a long overdue remix of Forbidden. Thanks for watching & sharing you’re ranking 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Great video Darcy. Eternal idol, Tyr and Headless Cross are fantastic albums. They are not even underrated, but straight up disrespected. Only forbidden and never say die are insufficient in my opinion.
I think you might be right! Actually I’m really looking forward to the remixed version of Forbidden coming out May 31. Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
My ranking. #20 Forbidden - Favorite song: None #19 Seventh Star - In for the Kill #18 Eternal Idol - Hard Life to Love #17 Never Say Die - Johnny Blade (The riff in the middle section RULES) #16 Cross Purposes - Cross of Thorns #15 13 - Beginning of the End #14 The Devil You Know - Atom and Evil #13 Dehumanizer - I #12 Headless Cross - Kill in the Spirit World #11 Born Again - Zero the Hero #10 Sabotage - Hole in the Sky #9 Paranoid - Faerie's Wear Boots #8 Black Sabbath - Wicked World #7 Technical Ecstasy - You Won't Change Me #6 Master of Reality - Lord of This World #5 Tyr - Heaven in Black #4 Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - A National Acrobat #3 Mob Rules - Falling Off the Edge of the World #2 Vol. 4 - St. Vitus Dance (Yeah fuck off) #1 Heaven and Hell - Children of the Sea This is to say I LOVE all their albums except Forbidden which is the only one I don't own.
I tried saying that same thing in the video, lots to love about most of they’re albums, but if you skim through some of these comments you’ll have a good laugh, some very touchy people 😂🤣 faahk me!Thanks for sharing you list :))
Lots of Sabbath I don’t know and haven’t heard yet and most are in your low end of the rankings so all good. Love Bible Black but the rest of the album is pretty average for me. Headless Cross is a hard rock/metal/doomy masterpiece imo🤘since reacquainting with it again recently I have spun it lots. Great undertaking mate 🤘🤘
I’ve been viewing a lot of Black Sabbath album rankings, and almost all of them have Heaven and Hell at the top. It’s without question a fantastic album, one of their very best. But I personally would rank it about fourth behind Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Master of Reality and Mob Rules.
eat ranking! Some discographies I hope to see you rank: Queen Thin Lizzy Rainbow Deep purple Whitesnake My top 5 Heaven and hell Vol 4 Master of reality Mob Rules Paranoid
I’m excited to hear the remixed version coming out May 31, I think I’ve been too hard on it! Thanks for the kick in ass Andrew ha ha 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Oh, I should have included "Seventh star" and "Born Again" too. Both are really good! And the "Heaven and Hell" album. So I guess there's 8 Sabbath albums that are really good. Ozzy's ver bad and annoying voice destroys all the albums he sings on, and other non-Ozzy stuff like "Dehumanizer", "Forbidden" and "Crpss Purposes" just have too weak songs.
I love Seventh Star and I say that as someone who prefers heavier music. Technical Ecstacy and Never Say Die I rate only slightly below the first 6 Ozzy albums, and thats only because of a slightly duff track on each, but the rest stands up Born Again is a great album, can't wait for the remaster/remix! Im afraid I dump all Tony Martin albums at the bottom because Martin's vocals dont do it for me ( seems like he was only there as a singer who could handle Dio and Ozzy stuff) and the lyrics, which are so important to me, seem very generic and uninspired. That said, I havent heard Headless Cross
I agree 100%. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Seventh Star is a much better listen than the following two albums, judged purely on musical merit.
1) Mob Rules 2) Heaven and Hell 3) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 4) Master of Reality 5) The Devil You KNow 6) Sabotage 7) Dehumanizer 8) Vol. 4 9) Paranoid 10) Debut 11) Born Again 12) Never Say Die 13) Technical Ecstasy
masters of reality is me fav with sabotage 2nd...will do my list when got time....anyways nice one.... from birmingham (home of metaaaaal/and sabbath/priest of course ha...tho the metal has died in bham.)
I put the album 13 in the top six of their albums. To me it does have loved throwback riffs and leads and I think that's why I like. And that's also why we have a dialogue about music so we can appreciate each those differences. Keep rocking my friend
Ozzy fans deep down know that Heaven and Hell is Sabbath's best album! great ranking....we're pretty similar allthough I have Never Say Die a bit higher up.
This is my revised ranking after repeated listens of Headless Cross, that album SLAAAAAAAYS! 19. Forbidden 18. Born Again 17. Seventh Star 16. Never Say Die 15. 13 14. Cross Purposes 13. Vol. 4 12. Tyr 11. Sabotage 10. The Eternal Idol 9. Paranoid 8. Dehumanizer 7. Black Sabbath 6. Master of Reality 5. Technical Ecstasy 4. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 3. Heaven and Hell 2. Headless Cross 1. Mob Rules
Recall seeing them on the Headless Cross tour in the old Hammersmith Odeon...cool line up with Cozy Powell....Neil Murray....Geoff Nichols.....the Heaven and Hell dvd from radio music city hall is great....cool ranking video!
Nice to see "Sabotage" so high on your list, didn´t expect that! That´s my number 1 followed closely by "Mob Rules". I would rank "The Eternal Idol" a bit higher than "Tyr" but tht´s just my opinion. I can´t understand people arguing about a personal ranking, everybody hears the stuff a bit different and there´s no wrong or right in musical preferences. Thank you for making the effort of ranking this catalogue!
Haha yeah there was no way that #1 would be a surprise to you or any of the “usual suspects” haha. Hope your having a great summer, I’m about to go chase a small white ball around for 18 holes, my wife said I have to go 🤣
Thanks for giving Tony Martin some credit. He is my fave singer in BS. I much prefer Dio and Ozzy solo. I rank Headless cross number one in my world!!! Keep rocking!!!
My favorites have to be Live at Last (one of my favorite live albums ever I love the feedback on Tony’s guitar, how dark it sounds, and the live versions of the songs are killer. ), Born Again ( I LOVE Ian Gillans vocals and am a big purple fan, not a bad track on that album imo), Master of Reality (Again not a bad song on it and probably the first Sabbath album I listened to fully, After Forever and Children of the Grave are some of my favorites.) Volume 4. (Has grown on me over time as a top tier Sabbath album, very dark album I think) As for the Dio stuff I really love that too, Mob Rules, Heaven and Hell, and Live Evil are great. Dehumanizer not so much but it’s still solid. Overall though Sabbath has long been my favorite band even as a Christian and I love every era (Tony Martin is fantastic as well specifically Eternal and Headless). I may have rambled a bit but don’t get me started on Ozzy’s solo career from Blizzard to No More Tears is fantastic and some of my favorite albums of all time.
I did a ranking on Ozzy’s solo albums, I love those first 6 too! I’m hoping they reissue No Rest For The Wicked next on vinyl. Thanks for watching & thank you for the great comment 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
That's a hell of an undertaking to rank all of those albums Darcy! It's been a while since I've listened to some Sabbath, looks like I'm going now. Over the years Sabotage has moved into my #1 spot. I would move a couple of yours around but overall nice ranking sir.
Great pick with Sabotage, you already know how much I love it! It’s a fun undertaking & the bonus is I get to hang with so many awesome people in the comment section 🤘 Cheers my friend
I did enjoy this. Obviously my top 2 don’t included Ronnie, but to be perfectly honest with you, if I take away my first 6 albums are all you need, then this would have to be on of the best rankings on RU-vid. Yeah the Thralls of Metal boys was decent and good, yet I enjoyed how you made good points on each record, to go back and listen and maybe see why they are great records. I don’t know you’re channel as in depth as the others on here, and I was sure RJD would be up there. Tony Martin is and will always be underrated.
I'm a Dio fan, whether Rainbow, Sabbath, or the Dio band. ButbI also really enjoy most of the Tiny Martin albums. I tell people who are new to those that they need to treat them, especially Headless Cross and Tyr, as "lost Rainbow albums." They're almost what the follow-ups to Long Live Rock'n'Roll might have sounded like, if Dio had stayed with Blackmore. There's several "album pairs" in this discography. MoR and Volume 4 kind of go together, HnH and MR definitely go together, Dehumanizer and Dio's Strange Highways definitely go together, and Headless Cross and Tyr go together. It's pretty much all good stuff, to some degree, and even the lesser albums are mostly "lesser" compared to how good the best ones are.
I just did a video with my Top 10 favourite LIVE albums & you can bet your life it’s on that list! Fantastical album!! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers Paul
I knew your top 3 Brother. This is a great ranking and adding the devil you know was a no brainer for me, it’s Black Sabbath, lol. The top 2 are my top 2 but I have them reversed. My fav Ozzy era is either vol 4 or master of reality. Anyways awesome to see your take on this bands catalog. I need an iron savior ranking asap 😂. Stay well brother.🤟🤟
