In the Court of the Crimson King

 

[Mr. Numb3rs]

Black Sabbath's Paranoid consisted of all classic metal tracks. That's got to count for something.

Oh? What was their first album, then? As far as I know Paranoid was their first album as Black Sabbath. They had something under whatever name they were known as before, but as far as I know Paranoid was the first album they recorded as Black Sabbath.

I was going to say, I thought their self-titled was their debut. It was a damn powerful album, and few (if any) weak spots. I thought about that one as well as a few others some have posted. My "honorables" were just more than anything some of my personal favorites. I don't think any rap album should even be considered in the discussion, although I love rap. I don't think a lot of others listed should be considered in any "greatest" category.

My criteria were twofold: Critical success and mainstream (sales) success. "Groundbreaking" could be a third - something that changed the whole entire scene of music ('Nevermind' wasn't Nirvana's debut, but that album totally destroyed "hair metal" and similar styles; some of the punk stuff here [Ramones, etc.] deserve mention) I don't think much more can be assessed, IMO.

Black Sabbath was their first album as Black Sabbath. Paranoid was recorded and released within a few months after - both in 1970.

Have it on disc, too. Don't even have to pirate it.

[E-Ann-Hilden]

1. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced
2. The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
3. Ramones - Ramones

Thumbs up on the Reid brothers!

Holy Diver - Dio
Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park
are the only two that come to mind.

I know a lot of people hate on them but Creed's first record was a monster.

I've always been partial to this metal masterpiece, myself:

Absolutely in the top five.

I would also add Texas Flood to the list.

Yesurrrr, I think that's right up there with Lynyrd, Hendrix, Kill 'em and....Sabbath??? I can revisit this in a couple days when I'm fully sober, I think that's a decent list of all time top five, no?

Well, I did this Google before I originally posted my first posted in this thread just to get ideas, but I found I owned quite a few of the albums, but just to let you all see a Google: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000332231
