Black Sabbath - Paranoid (1970)

Black Sabbath - Paranoid (1970)

  Heavy Metal guru's Black Sabbath rocked the world in 1970 with Paranoid......and left in place some of Rocks most immediately identifiable riffs in metal history.      Paranoid features three classic metal tracks with "War Pigs", "Iron Man" and "Paranoid".    Ozzy Osbourne's crazed vocals wrapped around Tony Iommi's lead guitar punctures your mind in a way that few metal album can.
  My favourite song on the album is "Planet Caravan" with it's psychy/progressive bits and outer worldly aspects. 
  I am not a huge metal fan in general but I have always loved this album and think that it was the best thing Sabbath ever did.
