Music Favorite era of Black Sabbath?

chiefs1111 · 07-19-2008, 10:46 PM

I assume most everyone would say Ozzy era is the best.... I also however enjoy the Dio era stuff as well...... what about you?

original Black Sabbath...1-volume 4. what I grew up hearing.

Dio "era" was only two albums. It's not really a fair comparison.

**Nzoner** · 07-19-2008, 11:37 PM

I have everything by them with Ozzy,they were one of my absolute favs growing up,even got to see them live in 1978 with a newer opening act that called themselves Van Halen.What a show!

As well as the three new songs on the latest "Best Of" AND they're doing a brand new record as "Heaven and Hell".

As much as "Paranoid" was a groundbreaking, amazing record, I'm going to have to go with Dio era.

For one, it's much more difficult to duplicate. I love "Electric Funeral" but bands like Alice in Chains (specifically) have been able to rip off that era quite easily (as has Soundgarden, among many others).

No one has matched the dynamics and intensity of the Dio years.

IMHO.

But truth be told, it's like choosing a favorite child. Both are unbelievably awesome, awe-inspiring and unmatched in the world of heavy, original music.

I'm glad you liked them because they did kick serious ****ing ass.

BTW, that's what I stated in my opening line

I'm very much looking forward to the new record as well.

Ozzy era is my fav, barely. There are a whole lot of unlauded songs from that era that just ****ing rule. That said, I love the Dio era.

**Nzoner** · 07-20-2008, 02:08 AM

I need a favor please,after reading these comments on Dio I have to admit I gave up on Sabbath after Heaven & Hell.Don't get me wrong I like the album but I guess I was just too hooked on Ozzy's vocals and Sabbath ended at that time for me.

I'm going to list a few of my fav Sabbath songs and other than the Heaven & Hell album(which I have)I'd like some suggestions on which Dio w/Sabbath songs I should listen to.

Megalomania
Who Are You
After Forever
The Wizard
Symptom Of The Universe
NIB
Wheels Of Confusion

No prob!

You may never like them as much as Ozzy era Sabbath (there's always that personal connection - which of course is what music is all about!) but they are great songs and Dio's voice is in top form.

Enjoy!

The first 4 Sabbath albums are excellent...however...I do like the Dio.

Nightwish · 07-20-2008, 11:53 AM

1. Dio
2. Ian Gillian
3. Ozzy

Note: the Gillian "era" was only one album, but it was an awesome album!
