History AwesomeMusic / BlackSabbath

* Time Machine. Take your pick. The studio version or the Film/WanyesWorld version are both filled with all kinds of awesome.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OXLRuu8YQY "Disturbing the Priest"]] from ''Born Again'' is rich with doom and gloom, on par with their earlier work. Ian Gillan’s legendary {{metal scream}} combined with his {{evil laugh}} enhances the mood very well for one of the darkest Sabbath experiences.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBpD2BdKNS8 Their self titled song]]. Truly the greatest use of Tritone ever. Also has one of the most darkest most omnious riffs even after 40 years.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBpD2BdKNS8 Their self titled song]]. Truly the greatest use of Tritone ever.

* A version of "Behind the Wall of Sleep", turning an above average track from their debut album into a head-banging masterpiece.

* The amazingly riffy "Supernaut".
* Four words: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_6g3RKHSNE "I. AM. IRON. MAN."]]
* One Word: "Paranoid". "SOITTAKAA PARANOID!!"

* "Snowblind".

** Music/FaithNoMore's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4oZXfrf18Y cover]] is pretty damn good, too. As for Sabbath originals, there's "Die Young" or "Into the Void".

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WrTZweHXTI "Megalomania"]]. The studio version is awesome enough, but this 1975 live version takes it to another level, especially after the 3:50 mark. Over the top of an absolute dinosaur of a riff, Ozzy jettisons actual singing for anguished shrieks, and sounds utterly possessed.

* Can you imagine Music/BruceDickinson from Music/IronMaiden singing "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgkmt35-shw It's awesome, really.]]

* "Neon Knights" and "The Mob Rules" with Music/{{Dio}}. If that doesn't get your blood pumping, you don't have any. "The Mob Rules" was used in a trailer to ''BrutalLegend''. It will make you run with an axe too.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4rVh-IszFk "I"]] by Black Sabbath during the Dio years. If there is any way to describe it, it's as taking a LargeHam, a healthy dose of {{magnificent bastard}}ry, [[AGodAmI supreme arrogance]], and a complete lack of a moral compass to a blender. What comes out is a magnificent IAmSong.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBpD2BdKNS8 Their self titled song]]. Truly the greatest use of Tritone ever.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ximWeur_cs8 "No Stranger To Love"]] off the 1986 album ''Seventh Star'' is a ''power ballad'' from Sabbath. That alone would have listeners bracing for the worst, but it is absolutely glorious and Glenn Hughes sings with such amazing passion and emotion.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLtJo30OGeM "The Shining"]], a total gem from the Tony Martin era. Reeks of 1980s disease? Yes. Overly cheesy? Yes. But if the amazing riffs and extremely powerful chorus don't send a chill down your spine, you are a robot.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifk08JOwd8E "Nightwing has stirred, and taken to flight. The silence is over, he's shattered the niiiiiiiiii-iiiiii-iiiiiiight!"]]

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd3ZiAwmLpM "Children of the Sea"]] starts out pretty awesome to begin with. Then the chanting comes in behind one of Iommi's best solos and turns it ''epic''.

* This version of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzcC5mQBWDs "Behind the Wall of Sleep"]], turning an above average track from their debut album into a head-banging masterpiece.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyHFxo0_pJs "Snowblind"]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOXPSSZkFD0 "N.I.B."]], particularly the bass solo at the beginning. "OH YEAH!!!"

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbxfe7DMxVo "War Pigs"]] is the best protest song ever, ''especially'' the parts starting at 3:20 and 6:07.

** The opening riff of "War Pigs" is easily one of the most awesomely ominous E-chords ever strummed. It's not hard to imagine the apocalypse being ushered in by that note. It sounds just like THE BELL OF DOOM.
*** And when the tempo changes, you know that this song is gonna be [[Main/PrecisionFStrike kickass!]]
