Still yet to check out Mob Rules

Live Evil is really worth checking out too.

Dio singing N.I.B is goat asf

What do you guys think of tracks like Planet Caravan and Solitude?

Planet Caravan rules, such a trip

been listening to sabbath for 15 years now and still haven't heard some albums they have duds truss me

I love Solitude. That bassline
And the lyrics

My name, it means nothing, my fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness

Isn't that the most depressing s*** you've ever read?

Planet Caravan is whatever to me honestly lmao. I tend to skip it.

youre real when you played nothing but their first three and heaven and hell your entire childhood but the last few years you only play vol. 4 and random cuts from before and during dio era

Ozzy fumbling the lyrics on the hook of The Warning is hilarious

Snowblind is Top 5 Sabbath songs

oh and juuuust in case we need a remainder

Black Sabbath >>>>>>> Led Zeppelin

they're excellent

Zeppelin could have done what Sabbath did but Sabbath could never do a Rain Song or Kashmir

having said that id still probably take Sabbath's 1970s run over Zeppelins

ill probably put if off cause my Best Songs Of Each Year thread is finally getting into the 70's and ive gotta keep Vol 4 in rotation rn

one of the few metal bands i could get into

Planet Caravan is probably my favorite song on that project

s*** is trippy as hell

Sabbath couldn't do No Quarter either

Sabbath couldn't do No Quarter either

Mm I feel like that's closer to Sabbath's wheelhouse tbh but there are alot of other examples. I admire the s*** out of Sabbath for just being the most relentless riff monsters imaginable but Page could done that as well if he wanted to.

It's closer to their quieter songs for sure, but there's something about the song's arrangement that's unique to Zep. I've seen that inventiveness in Black Sabbath with songs like Air Dance tho

it's like with most genres of music you can see the evolution of the sound from band to band where as sabbath pretty much came out of the gate with that metal sound (the first album has some bluesier cuts like the wizard) and then proceeded to develop it until we get to Sabotage/Never Say Die//Technical Ectasy where they started playing more of the straight-forward conventional rock 'n' roll music of the time.

Led Zeppelin have more credit than they deserve given how much they stole

the deserve to get cooked for that forever but it was mainly the first couple albums and Stairway intro. they did more than enough original and striking material afterwards to make up for it.

Even their eponymous debut had the conventions of late 60s rock, but then you have some real heavy s*** like the title track and NIB

check out that pretty things song I just posted. came out two years before sabbath.
