15. 13
16. Never Say Die

Haven't listened to:

• Sabotage
• Tyr
• Cross Purposes
• Forbidden.

Heaven and Hell along with Headless Cross stand head and shoulders above the rest being excellent albums in my opinion, the combination of more theatrical delivery and medieval lyrics along with Tony's guitar tone just fits better for me than Ozzy's vocal style. From Seventh Star through The Mob Rules is what I consider to be strong albums, each having very good highlights with some lowlights. Technical Ecstasy and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and to a lesser extent the self titled I consider good, with 13 and Never Say Die being poor albums but not without some songs worth noting on them.

The remaining 5 are just a pain to find hard copies of, or are on my long list of albums to get through.

Seems like Forbidden is almost forbidden territory when it comes to Sab.
