Black Sabbath "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" (1973)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Black Sabbath "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"  1973 (UK)
For this year's Halloweeny show, we induct the last of the first six Black Sabbath albums into the hall of fame. The band's glorious run from their 1970 debut album to "last truly great album" in 1975 showed the way for all future heavy and metal bands. Sabbath's status as the "first" metal band is unequestioned, but sometimes overshadows what a great "classic rock" band they were as well. All of the musicians in this group and their legendary singer Ozzy Osbourne have instantly recongizable styles and have been hugely influential on heavy music of every type. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was recorded at the zenith of the prog rock era, and incorporates synthesizers and orchestras and heavy lyrical concepts. Most of the band members seem to think of this album as their finest hour, though personally I think it's my least favorite of those first six classic albums (I like the first two the best - gimme those huge gothic riffs over a Rick Wakeman overdub any day!) Which is not to criticize this album: the production does sound amazing and it has it's fair share of kewl riffs and grooves plus their all-time best album cover. Black Sabbath's sixth-best album of the 1970's is still mega-classic.
