    One of the all-time greats and most influential bands.

    I saw them in 1978 at MSG with Van Halen opening up, then again in 1980 with Dio on vocals on the Heaven and Hell tour. Both were great shows.

    I could listen to any Sabbath album -- favorites are: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Vol 4, Master of Reality, Paranoid and Heaven and Hell.

    Songs:

    Sweet Leaf, Fairies wear boots, Children of the Grave, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

    Saw them with Dio on the Heaven and Hell tour but still prefer the Ozzy years.

    That live version of Wicked World is great.

    My faves: The Warning, Faries Wear Boots, Rat Salaad(?)

    Love this thread!

    I had an older sister who dumped the Sabbath germ on me when I was about 8 years old. The debut LP through "Sabotage" set some serious standards and every heavy rock band that has followed them owes a debt of gratitude.

    As monumental as the band was, the end of the Ozzy/Sabbath era was inevitable. Witnessing Van Halen kick Sabbath's ass as an opening act pretty much said it all. I saw a couple of BS/VH shows during that tour and really, Sabbath had hit boring-old-fart-rock-God status with a messed up Ozzy actually sitting in an easy chair off to stage left during the instrumental solos.

    Was Sabbath really Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio? Fuck yes! "Live Evil" aside, just check out the three albums RJD did with Sabbath. Pris-fucking-stine metal, friends. Of special note, do not ignore "Dehumanizer," classic Sabbath regardless of who is behind the mic. Proof? "After All (The Dead.)" Sabbath featuring Dio was STELLAR! Oh yeah, even "Born Again," with it's weird production and Ian Gillan vocals still shoves the metal up your ass.

    Still, some fucked up duds in the Sabbath cannon. The Ozzy led "Technical Ecstasy" and "Never Say Die." Bleh. Later years brought "Seventh Star" and "TYR," both of which pretty much induced sleep, while "Headless Cross" and "Eternal Idol" rocked out more than most people even knew. Or even cared to know. Then there was this shitty mess of an album called "Forbidden" around '95. Don't even go there.

    Cut to the live "Reunion" recording with the original Sab line up. Bless their black hearts, they didn't even speed up the shit up. Classic durge via the masters.

    Future Sabbath seems iffy. No Bill Ward? Fuck that. Iommi's illness does not bode well, and Ozzy SO straddles the line between relevant and rediculous that it's anyones guess.

    All in all, good Sabbath out-weights bad Sabbath. As the OP stated, where would we be without them?

    I love Sabbath.
    I listened to them every single day throughout my teens and I still listen to them really regularly.
    I still get high on the riffs and the musicianship,hugely,hugely talented men,I never saw them as metal,they had a depth of the heavier end of blues for me like no other band of that time.Their influence is heard in so much music even today.
    I never thought RJD would pull it of when Ozzy was gone but I think Heaven and Hell is a good album.But Black Sabbath and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath still definitely get me for the atmosphere and the riffs that make my mouth water listening to them.

    I got into Ozzy's solo stuff first, as a kid....Diary of a Madman was one of the first albums I ever owned....Blizzard wasn't far behind. I still consider Diary as good as anything Sabbath did...but ya, Sabbath has to be one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Even if you can't call them THAT heavy anymore, nearly every metal riff every written can be traced back to Sabbath. I remember a famous guitarist (can't remember who) saying that it was a joke to call anyone derivative, because every hard rock riff possible had long since been written by Jimmy Page or Tony Iommi...tough to argue with that.

    The fact that it took them 11 years of eligibility to get into the R&RHOF is the single greatest reason to think that organization is a total fucking sham.

    I was lucky enough to see the Last Supper tour.
    ....just put Hole in the Sky on a mix disc recently...after reading this thread, I'll be cranking it on my way home.
