favorite 10 songs from the Ozzy Era

[snowblinded]

When I was first introduced to Black Sabbath, I only listened to some of their classic songs and they were good but not great. Recently after having revisisted Sabbath and having listened so far to their first 6 albums, I can honestly say Sabbath is fucking awesome

I'm a newbie on this forum as I guess I'm a new "fan" of Sabbath but I was just interested to see what the more veteran fans had to say on the subject of Sabbath's best 10 songs of their early work.

Here's my list:
1. Snowblind
2. Suppernaut
3. War Pigs
4. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
5. Solitude
6. Into the Void
7. N.I.B.
8. Sweet Leaf
9. Hole in the Sky
10. Paranoid

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I'm usually good for a list, and as a "veteran" Sabbath fan (since 1980) I can say my tastes have evolved over the years, but my favourites have almost all been there through out.

In alphabetical order :

Air Dance
Fairies Wear Boots
Hole In The Sky
Juniors Eyes
NIB
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Spiral Architect
Symptom Of The Universe
War Pigs
You Won't Change Me

If this was stretched to a top 20 there would be an MOR track and several VOL 4 tracks in there, but those albums just don't get any in the top 10 (Wheels of Confusion is probably at 11).
