 | Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Buy new: $8.97 / Used from: $3.30 It may seem a bit obvious to start here but there's no denying that any faults you may find with the debut album are not present here. All you have is bass, drums, guitar and Ozzy in all their glory. A perfect metal album in every way.

 | Heaven And Hell by Black Sabbath
Buy used from: $4.68 Some will argue that I've ranked this Dio fronted album to high in comparison to the other Ozzy-era albums but there can be no argument about how brilliant this record is and why it's importance cannot be overstated.

 | Black Sabbath, Vol.4 by Black Sabbath
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.88 A brutal assault. Damn near 'jazz' in it's execution. Drummer Bill Ward takes the band to another level.
|
 | Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.82 While not entirely focused, this artifact is where it all begins. It's all here - with more. And it's the 'more' that keeps this disk from topping the list.
|
 | Master of Reality by Black Sabbath
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.50 A must have. Chock full of riffs. Some of the hooks have an almost funky groove.
|
 | Sabbath Bloody Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.00 Prog metal.
|
 | Mob Rules by Black Sabbath
Buy used from: $2.39 Heaven & Hell Part 2. If you enjoy H&H, you'll love this but no new ground is broken despite containing the best Dio-era song, "Sign Of The Southern Cross."
|
 | Sabotage by Black Sabbath
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.10 Weird and disjointed, Sabotage bounces between the band's hardest jams and their most unusual ones.
|
 | Born Again by Black Sabbath
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $9.99 Ian Gillian nearly rises to the occasion. Poor production ruins what might have been an all time classic.
