For me it's hands and not without a close close close several competitor other albums that don't need to be named. Additionally I always respected the magical midget Ronnie James Dio's influence. That cool MOFO could open those vocal chords.

Overall for me it's quite simple from start to finish. Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill were the Fearsome Foursome.

Just depends on mood overall. I’d go with;
1. Paranoid
2. Master of Reality
3. Heaven & Hell

There are some great tracks on every album, so no real wrong answer. Great influence on so many hard rock and metal musicians today.

Man, I love Sabbath.
I remember hearing Black Sabbath and drinking beer with friends (Id been drinking on my own for a bit) for the first time in 8th grade.
Fantastic.
So many great albums.
Even some of the non Ozzy and Dio stuff is good.....Eternal Idol for example is a good album. Others like Headless Cross, Born Again, Cross Purposes and others all have very good moments.
So many great albums....Master of Reality, Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Vol 4 and the list goes on.
All that said, I have to give my choice for my favorite as Heaven and Hell.
More about where I was in life and what that album meant to me at that time.
Its a great, powerful album.

A little off the beaten path, but Sabotage. The fucking intensity with which they played on this album is ridiculous, and Tony Iommi's guitar, both in the sound he got and the actual playing, was never better. This was their last great album of the 70's.

#2 is Mob Rules. The best album of the Dio years IMO, and a great blend of the old, original Sabbath spirit with a new sound that they began on Heaven and Hell.

NIB is my favorite song so..... BTW it is hard to think of a more well known but under appreciated musician than Tony Iommi?

I believe he had a mid school shop class incident that cut his left hand/fingers to near nubs how they are. Place that with the strings, guitar and amp preferred holy fucking shit.

What do I know? I do know I saw them on their final tour 2013 at The Gorge Quincy WA VIP. Stellar set/performance.

Black Sabbath struck gold with both, Ozzy and Dio.

I enjoy them both.

Went to the Rams Steelers game at So-Fi in 23.
Day before went to the Rainbow on Sunset and sat in the booth where Iommi met Dio and offered him the Sabbath gig.
Dio was working on an album with the guys from Little Feat at the time......which, seems strange in hindsight.

Hard to say.
I do know that for me, it doesn’t get any better than “Into the Void.”
That tune belongs in the church of rock/metal Gods.
