Also love the 1st half of Wheels of Confusion (that opening! and initial riffs!) would be in my top 10 if not for second half. Warning's awesome too but again dragged on a little too long and too much soloing. Under the Sun's great. Everything on Master of Reality is solid even though I have none of those in my Top 10. it's a great album nonetheless. Pretty much there first 6 albums are perfect or near perfect if not for a bit of over indulgence in the first album and Sabotage being a bit hit and miss but the misses are more than redeemed by it's best tracks. And Paranoid and Iron Man I might have in my top 10 if I hadn't heard them a billion times but it'd be close because Sabbath has so many great songs.
I always thought Sabotage was a 4/5 rating album for me due to a classic first half of the album, the second half of the album wasn't that great although it has grown onto me more, I give the first half of Sabotage a 5/5 and the second half a 3/5.
For Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath none of the songs rank among the Top 10 but it is a great, solid album, I really find "Spiral Architect" and "A National Acrobat" to be highly underrated songs, overall I give "SBS" a 5/5
For Vol 4 I agree the first half of "Wheels of Confusion" is the better half of the two but I grew to appreciate the soloing towards the end of the song, I loved "Under the Sun" and think it's an underrated classic, there were some not so great songs such as "Changes", "FX" and "Cornucopia" but I give the album a 4.5/5 rating due to the classic tracks like "Supernaut", "Snowblind", "Wheels of Confusion" and "Under the Sun"
For Master Of Reality I give this album a 5/5, "Children of the Grave" and "Into the Void" are my Top 10 favorite Sabbath classics, I also love "Sweet Leaf", "After Forever" and "Lord of This World", it is my overall favorite Sabbath album.
For Paranoid despite the overplay of "Paranoid" and "Iron Man" (the song that got me into Sabbath) I think it is a classic album, my favorite songs are "War Pigs", "Electric Funeral" and "Hand of Doom" (very underrated song IMO), I give Paranoid a 5/5
For Black Sabbath I agree with you that "Warning" does go on way too long and it was never one of my favorite Sabbath tunes, the title track and "NIB" rank among my Top 10 favorite Sabbath songs, the rest of the album is very good, I give it a 4.5/5 rating.
While I'm not a huge fan of "Technical Ecstasy" and "Never Say Die" I always loved "You Won't Change Me" and I rank that among their most underrated song during the Ozzy era.
Children of the grave.
For now
