1.
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
the definitive Sabbath album, iconic for a reason
19.
2.
Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality
heavier and darker than "Paranoid" and just as influential
19.
3.
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
bluesy, raw, and groundbreaking
19.
4.
Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell
easily the best Dio-era Sabbath album, powerful and epic
19.
5.
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
arguably the last Ozzy-era masterpiece
19.
6.
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Vol. 4
cocaine-fueled, uneven, and still a classic
19.
7.
Black Sabbath - Sabotage
not a masterpiece but somewhat underrated
19.
8.
Black Sabbath - Mob Rules
not as good as "Heaven and Hell" but definitely underrated
19.
9.
Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer
Dio returns to kick more ass - easily the best Sabbath album since he left the band
19.
10.
Black Sabbath - Headless Cross
an okay album overall, Tony Martin's best Sabbath album
19.
11.
Black Sabbath - Tyr
atmospheric and ambitious but definitely uneven
19.
12.
Black Sabbath - 13
a very "safe" final album
19.
13.
Black Sabbath - The Eternal Idol
competent but forgettable
19.
14.
Black Sabbath - Cross Purposes
no standout tracks (?) but at least it is not embarrassing
19.
15.
Black Sabbath - Born Again
terrible production and apart from "Zero the Hero" and "Disturbing the Priest" there are not any decent songs
19.
16.
Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy
an overly polished, failed experiment ("Dirty Woman" is okay though)
19.
17.
Black Sabbath - Seventh Star
can we even called this a Sabbath album?
19.
18.
Black Sabbath - Never Say Die!
the worst Ozzy-era Sabbath album... skip this one
19.
19.
Black Sabbath - Forbidden
bad production, bad songwriting, bad vocals... just bad
