Mob Rules was the first Black Sabbath album I ever heard, and it almost put me off of them. But that's way better than I remember it being when I was 15.


Also, poor Karen Dalton. It's clear by how badly she does in these contests, and all the stank face her voice gives everyone I know, why she died penniless and borderline homeless. Was ahead of her time, ahead of our time, all the while simultaneously seeming to be transmitting her voice from a hundred years ago. Her voice is always sure to short circuit our silly internet ranking games.


She was great, one of the best even though she would have probably hated me and my applause, just like she seemingly hated everything and everyone else. Just the way I like it.

Round 6 nomination

Vico C - Saborealo

R6 nom:

Temple Of The Dog - Call Me A Dog

Willie Thrasher - Forefathers

I celebrate Dio's entire catalog, but I'm sure anyone who grew up with Ozzy at the helm or started with that album were like, "what the heck is this?"

Anyways, I am an unashamed fan of Mob Rules, Heaven & Hell and Dehumanizer. His era is much more worthwhile than Glenn Hughes', at least.

Outside of And Justice For All, I was really anti metal at the time. Mob Rules didn't have a chance of cutting it (I only bought it because of the cover....or did my grandmother buy it for me, just assuming I'd like it because of the cover?).


Paranoid (and Deep Purple "In Rock) were the albums I needed to nudge me into the genre.

Underrated!
