"Sabotage" by Blak Sabbath (1975)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Black Sabbath "Sabotage"  1975 (UK)
Black Sabbath's greatest period was the years 1970-1975, when they released their first six albums. They would make two more with original lead singer Ozzy Osbourne in the late 70's, followed by a few with Ronnie James Dio, then one in 1983 with Ian Gillan (from Deep Purple), after which they went into a steep decline until the era of reunion tours and albums (usually with Ozzy, but occasionally with Dio under the alternative band name "Heaven & Hell"). The band (minus original drummer Bill Ward) recorded an excellent final album in 2013, which was my pick for the #1 album of that year. As I said on the air at the time, it was their best album since Sabotage, this week's classic album which was Sabbath's most progressive (epic songs & synthesizers) but still a crushingly heavy LP. It also probably contains the best vocals of Ozzy's career - never really considered one of the natural greats, he is a strong comperitor with the likes of Plant and Halford on this one.
