What is your favorite Black Sabbath song...and why?

[Danoof]

I've never posted on here before, and being a huge Sabbath fan, I figured this might be a good way to start. Also, you can break it up between Ozzy and Dio, if you'd like. Mine are Symptom of the Universe and Neon Knights.

And why?

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

Black Sabbath is my all-time favorite band. So many great songs and albums it's hard to choose just one. I may go with the song "Black Sabbath" because it's where it all began and on my favorite Sabbath album. I like the rain, the church bells, and the overall doomy atmosphere of the song.

I'd have to say N.i.B. - those lyrics by Geezer are both scary and powerful. Outstanding. Who has the Devil talking to you? Great song.

The bass and guitar riffs by Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler is also very good. Bill Ward does a great job playing drums in it too. Then you have Ozzy Osbourne singing. Amazing!

Crazy Train.

This technically is not a Black Sabbath song since GB didn't write it.

Crazy Train is from Ozzy's first solo album, Blizzard Of Ozz.

Into the void.

Because a teacher once said my brain was like space....null & void. So I was a smart ass and yelled woo who, into the void, and I stood, and did air guitar and made the sounds of a guitar, and he sighed, shook his head, then sent me to the office.

Paranoid because of the riff.

War Pigs
Just always loved that one.
When I was a wild child it was a constant of our group.

War Pigs and Iron Man are close behind.

Vol. 4 was my first Sabbath LP, wayy back in '87 or so, as such it's probably my favorite album and I like all the songs about equally.

Sweet Leaf

Reason: I like The Butthole Surfers remake titled Sweat Loaf.

I just turned 46, so that was my sophomore year, good times, would go back in a flash.
