Black Sabbath are awesome! First heard "Iron Man" on a HEAVY METAL compilation and was astounded at how HEAVY it was and how lightweight it made KISS and Led Zeppelin sound. Started buying the albums and still amazed at how good BLACK SABBATH. PARANOID, MASTER OF REALITY, VOLUME 4, SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH, SABOTAGE, HEAVEN AND HELL and MOB RULES still sound. Loved the tempo changes and despite the image they had, how moral their lyrics could be.
On a personal note, Black Sabbath kept me sane through most of 1979. Was living on an Army Post above Chicago, had finally gotten some close friends, a steady girlfriend and a job after much looking. Life was good, so of course, we had to move again to Maryland this time. Serious depression and playing those albums constantly certainly helped...almost a religious experience, especially MOR.
Know some people who love BORN AGAIN and the Tony Martin era, but just not my cup of tea.
