Ancient Mariner
(... without making a double album!)

If we look at the first two genre defining Sabbath albums, most of us might pick the second as favourite. But how would a best of -or call it: the ideal compilation- look like? Basically: one, for you ideal, album.

Pick eight songs. I included Wicked World as an option. It was a B-side, but available on many releases these days.

Vote for 8 of these songs:
