If I had to make a list: 1. Megalomania - Sabotage 2. Air Dance - Never Say Die 3. Falling off the Edge of the World - Mob Rules 4. Disturbing the Priest - Born Again 5. I - Dehumaniser
- The Writ (Heavy progressive masterpiece) - Air Dance (Jazzy Hard Rock masterpiece, amazing Don Airey keys) - Over And Over (Ronnie James Dio at his most soulful and at the end Tony soloing to the point of ecstasy) - ALL of Born Again - Danger Zone (Sabbath at it's most 80s) - When Death Calls (late 80's anthem) - I (HEAVY)
Couldnt agree more - just becaus Ozzy disses this and Technical Ecstacy they get a bit overlooked, though those are in my top 5 BS albums with Technical Ecstacy at no 1
My list: "Season Of The Dead" (The End tour CD). This song is better than most songs on 13. "Country Girl" "Valhalla" "Nightmare" "When Death Calls" Great episode, gentlemen!
Some of my favourite Sabbath deep cuts: Ozzy era: Solitude, Cornucopia, Under the Sun, A National Acrobat, Spiral Architect, Killing Yourself to Live, The Writ, Megalomania, Thrill of it All, Gypsy, All Moving Parts, Air Dance, Junior's Eyes, Zeitgeist, Damaged Soul Dio era Lonely is the Word, Die Young, Lady Evil, Slipping Away, Country Girl, Master of Insanity, Too Late, Time Machine Gillan era Disturbing the Priest, Hot Line, Born Again, Trashed (Pretty much the whole album!)
The whole Headless Cross album and especially the gorgeous Nightwing. + Airdance off the Never Say Die. Hard Life To Love was a great choice from Martin.
St. Vitus’ dance Thrill of it all All Moving Parts Stand Still Shockwave Lonely is the Word Born Again In Memory Eternal Idol Letters From Earth Forbidden.
"She's gone" I think is an amazing overlooked ballad imo. Ozzy sings with so much heart and emotion on that song. Incredible string arrangements and beautiful acoustics by Iommi
My Top 10: - Danger Zone (Seventh Star) -Turn To Stone (Seventh Star) - The Fallen (Born Again Sessions) - Lonely Is The Word (Heaven and Hell) -The Shining (Ray Gillen Demos) - Star Of India (Seventh Star Demos - Jeff Fenholt RIP on vocals) - When Death Calls (Headless Cross - solo by Brian May) - Anno Mundi (TYR) - I (Dehumanizer) - Cross of Thorns (Cross Purposes)
Great band, managed to catch them during "The End" tour, and it was totally worth it! Every album has got some underrated gems, so here's one from every album! Black Sabbath: Warning Paranoid: Hand Of Doom Master Of Reality: Solitude Vol. 4: Wheels Of Confusion Sabbath Bloody Sabbath: Fluff Sabotage: Megalomania Technical Ecstasy: It's Alright Never Say Die!: Air Dance Heaven And Hell: Die Young Mob Rules: Falling Off The Edge Of The World Born Again: Digital Bitch Seventh Star: Seventh Star The Eternal Idol: Scarlet Pimpernel Headless Cross: Devil & Daughter Tyr: Anno Mundi Dehumanizer: Master Of Insanity Cross Purposes: The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Forbidden: Kiss Of Death 13: Damaged Soul
@Donovan Davis same here the only song i could to without is break out other then that the album is not bad as the majority of sabbath fans think it is.
I think The Writ is epic. I know when Sabotage came out we did acid every weekend for a month listening to it Germany. One morning while walking outside of post in a rural park we were tripping listening to it (carrying a boom box) and were buzzed by two F-4 Phantoms...I think we almost shit our pants.
@@giladschwinger939 Despite it can be a well-known and loved song by many sabbath fans, I have never heard a live version of it either seen it on any compilation album. So, I think it could be considered as a deep cut.
@@giladschwinger939 Yeah it's well-known for true Sabbath fans but this list is meant for those who only know the big hits like Iron Man, Paranoid, Heaven and Hell etc. But I understand, it's well-known amongst Sabbath fans.
@Josh Tyler Yeah I mean it's a single and has a video but no one really talks about it. It got shadowed by other songs from that album and it was played only once in a concert. Despite the fact that it's a single and has a video IMO it's a deep cut for sure.
Sign of the seventh cross Solitude National acrobat Juniors eyes Ancient warrior Falling off the edge of the world Air dance Lonely is the word Heart like a wheel The warning
It's hard to chose from the early Ozzy Era such as their self titled debut, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Vol. 4, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Here are my picks 1. A Bit of Finger/Sleeping/Warning (S/T Debut, 1970) 2. Planet Caravan (Paranoid, 1970) 3. Lord of this World (Master of Reality, 1971) 4. Tomorrow's Dream (Vol. 4, 1972) 5. Spiral Architect (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, 1973) 6. Am I Going Insane (Radio)/The Writ (Sabotage, 1975) 7. Back Street Kids (Technical Ecstasy, 1976) 8. Shock Wave (Never Say Die, 1978) 9. Lonely Is The Word (Heaven and Hell, 1980) 10. Slipping Away (The Mob Rules, 1981) 11. Born Again (Born Again, 1983) 12. In For The Kill, Turn to Stone, and Seventh Star (Seventh Star, 1986) 13. Ancient Warrior, Glory Ride, and Eternal Idol (The Eternal Idol, 1987) 14. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE - When Death Calls (Headless Cross, 1989) 15. Jerusalem (TYR, 1990) 16. I (Dehumanizer, 1992) 17. I Witness, Cross of Thorns, and Dying for Love (Cross Purposes, 1994) 18. Zeitgeist (13, 2013) I don't own 'Forbidden' (1995) regardless of what fans think of that album, I will buy this at some point.
Great show! Lots of great deep cuts from Sabbath. 1) Hotline (Ian Gillan is amazing on this. Awesome riffs!) 2) Looking For Today (I just love this song) 3) Megalomania 4) Under The Sun (That riff just slays me every time) 5) Junior's Eyes 6) Supernaught 7) Behind the Wall of Sleep 8) Sign of the Southern Cross (The best song of the Dio era, in my opinion) 9) Danger Zone (Very underrated) 10) Zero The Hero (Again, that main riff just slays me. Killer, doomy track)
Martin,"You Won't Change Me" is one of my favorite Sabbath songs ever.Agree about the production on TE also.Also a big fan of "Swinging the Chain".Bill kills on vocals! Pete,"Megalomania" also one of my favorites. For me,the highlight of the album. My list: Warning Hand of Doom Cornucopia Megalomania You Won't Change Me Swinging the Chain Lonely is the Word Keep it Warm
Same here, Martin, ‘Sabotage’ is in my top two favorite metal albums ever, along with Number Of The Beast. Just amazing, mind-bending, trippy, heavy, evil, etc. Astounding compositions. Love it!
Firstly, what a great podcast and never a better topic. Can I say ‘Country Girl’ is not a deep cut. It is up there with the gold standard of Sabbath. ‘Arguably’ their most catchy song. The riff, the melody, the bridge 🌉 , the romanticism. Just timeless. Congrats on the Hot Line folks! Probably the most party 🎉 song on the Sabb’s discography. Great work guys. Honourable mentions.. Letters From Earth 🌏 Double The Pain 👊🏼
5) Nightwing ~ Headless Cross 4) Seventh Star ~ Seventh Star 3) The Shining(feat. Ray Gillen) ~ Eternal Idol (Deluxe Edition) 2) The Writ ~ Sabotage 1) Lonely Is The Word ~ Heaven and Hell
Awesome ur subbed to Sea of Tranquility as well, awesome, u guys make entertaining music content 🤘! Funny to see ur comment Bryce, I swear I'm not creeping 🤘
Totally agree with Martin regarding the Eternal Idol album, I really really dig it. And totally agree with Pete regarding the Born Again album. I have to admit that it took many many listens to appreciate but eventually it grew on me. Plus just the historical significance of Gillan fronting Sabbath, that is enough to make it remarkable and thankfully the music is quite good when you really listen to it.
Juniors Eyes Buried Alive Call of the Wild Keep it Warm All moving parts stand still Night Wing The Sabbath Stone Walk Away Digital Bitch Angry Heart The Eternal Idol
Nice choices. My five would be ... 1. Air Dancer - Love that jazz breakdown with Airey and Iommi 2. Turn Up the Night 3. Born Again 4. Heat Like a Wheel 5. Anno Mundi - the only one that sounds like Sabbath of these five, but such a killer lead off track.
Megalomania is probably my favorite Sabbath song. There aren't many 9 minute songs I can listen to over and over on repeat, but the way the song builds and builds keeps it constantly interesting.
Bonus track from 13 called methademic. Huge deep cut. Absolutely great song. You have Tony crafting some masterful riffs, Ozzy doing his thing. Fantastic.
I'm a Purple and Sabbath fan like Pete, and I really loved when Ian Gillan joined Sabbath too. My news source of metal information back then was Kerrang Magazine that I got from Zig Zag Records in Brooklyn.They had all pictures of Ian and Tony at the bar drinking beers and celebrating. I saw them on the Born Again tour at the Spectrum in Philly. The coolest image that I remember of that concert is Gillan playing the Congas during a Metal song. lol Hair flying. Good times.
Thanks Pete and Martin for this list here are my BlackSabbath deep cuts: - "Wicked World"- Black Sabbath (debut album) - (1970) - "Hand of Doom"- Paranoid - 1970 - "Planet Caravan" - Paranoid - "Solitude"- Master of Reality - 1971 - "Under the Sun" - Volume 4 - (1972) - "A National Acrobat" - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - (1973) - "Killing Yourself to Live" - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - "Hole in the Sky" - Sabotage - (1975) - "Megalomania" - Sabotage - "It's Alright" (Bill Ward on lead vocals) - Technical Ecstacy - (1976) - "Die Young" - Heaven and Hell - (1980) - "Sign of the Southern Cross" - Mob Rules - (1981) - "When Death Calls" - Headless Cross - (1989) - "Nightwing" - Headless Cross - (1989) - "Sins of the Father" - Dehumanizer - (1992) of course Black Sabbath has so many "deep cut" songs but I feel that these songs for me are the ones that "cut so deep"
A lot of people can Never say die but I love the album. I bought it new in 1978. Shock wave and over to you are great songs! Keep up the good work Pete! Cheers glenn Sydney oz
First album I ever got was technical ecstasy in 77 favorite band all time. 1- tomorrows dream. 2-evil woman. 3-the writ. 4- megalomania. 4-killing yourself to live. 5-it’s alright(Bill Ward). 6-hard road. 7-sign of the southern cross 8-die young.
1. Anno Mundi from TYR 2. Disturbing The Priest from Born Again 3. Wishing Well from Heaven And Hell 4. Nightmare from The Eternal Idol 5. Megalomania from Sabotage
Spiral Architect- Just cuz.....Sabbath,Bloody Sabbath is my favorite album of the entire catalogue.I love the acoustic intro and the killer riff. Lonely Is The Word- The sleeper of Heaven & Hell.Great outro solo. Born Again-The title cut is doomy & dirge-y.Lyrics are different for Gillan.( The grey and plastic retards......" etc.) Seventh Star- The barnstorming opener of In For The Kill and a melancholy ,thoughtful closer with In Memory....
Here's my deeper cut (some deeper than others) Black Sabbath playlist. One song per album: The Wizard Electric Funeral Solitude St. Vitus Dance Spiral Architect Hole in the Sky Rock n Roll Doctor Johnny Blade Lady Evil Turn Up the Night Hot Line Turn to Stone Ancient Warrior Nightwing Heaven in Black After All (The Dead) Cardinal Sin Forbidden Neverwhere Damaged Soul
I would include "Disturbing the Priest" if it wasn't considered too mainstream...as if any Born Again song could be. ;) National Acrobat - (Surprised how many others love this one too) - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath All Moving Parts - ( Nice Geezer Bass groove/ very Ozzy Solo Chorus) - Technical Ecstasy Sabbath Stones - ( Sign of the Southern Cross prt 2) - Tyr 'I' - ( Great Stomping Headbang) - Dehumanizer After All (the Dead) - ( After Forever reprise) - Dehumanizer
So totally agree with Martin Popoff regarding the spontaneous creativity in the Ozzy era contrasted with the more strategic songwriting from the Ronny era onwards.
Megalomania is a very underrated gem yet it is on of their greatest songs and my second favourite Sabbath song. For others from the various eras I'd pick Children of the Sea, Heart Like a Wheel, The Shining and Born Again. For others I'd put in are Air Dance, You Won't Change Me, Fluff, Devil and Daughter, Psychophobia, Anno Mundi, Time Machine, Under the Sun, Shaking Off The Chains, Forbidden and I could say more. There are so many underrated gems from their career.
Yet another outstanding show by you and Martin Pete. You two have great chemistry together. And this is another fine example. I would really love to see you two do Yes, Pink Floyd, and Rush. Now that would be cool.
A tough one as I'm one of those that gave up on Sabbath after Dio. 01. The Wirt - it's one of my favorite tunes off my favorite Sabbath album. 02. Country Girl, - always been one of the songs my neighbors are forced to listen to when I play it. 03. Thrill of it All - That's my story and I'm stickin to it, because I got no reason to lie. 04. Over and Over. Love the doomy feeling of this song.
•Back Street Kids •Junior's eyes •Voodoo •Falling Off the Edge of the World •Ancient Warrior •Lost Forever •When Death Calls •Black Moon And from the stunning Tony Iommi solo album labelled Black Sabbath "Seventh Star" featuring impressive vocals by Mr. Glenn Hughes. •In for the Kill •Turn to Stone •Seventh Star •Angry Heart
Slipping Away was indeed played live before the Heaven and Hell band, or at least the first bit up until the solo. It's on Hammersmith 81. At the start of the tour they played most of Mob Rules - as far as I know the only song from that album not played live ever was Over and Over (unless they did it as Heaven and Hell at some point).
My 5 pics would be: - Johnny Blade - Over and Over - In for the Kill - Kill in the Spirit World - Black Moon Great to hear what other super Sabbath fans think are deep cuts, especially Martin who’s wrote a bunch of Sabbath books. Great insight and selection of songs for sure. I guess I never think of a tune that was played on tour (or multiple tours with Country Girl) could be considered a deep cut, but that’s just my opinion.
Ozzy Era: Thrill Of It All - Dio Era: Walk Away - Ian Gillan Era: Hot Line - Glenn Hughes Era: Danger Zone - Tony Martin Era: So many amazing songs from this era, but I’m gonna go with I Witness
Forbidden had 3 really solid songs. Can't Get Close Enough, Rusty Angels, and Kiss of Death. It doesn't suck as bad others claim. Just sucks when compared to other Sabbath classics.
I love ' never say die' and 'headless cross' two excellent records. Johnny blade, juniors eyes, when death calls, black moon, Devil and daughter superb songs.
Yes! to Bill Ward's solo albums. If you haven't ever, do it. It's challenging at times, (and challenging to obtain physical copies), but ever so rewarding.
Immaculate Deception- Tony Martin , Who Are You(Sabbath Boody Sabbath) love the Moog synth Wheels of Confusion, JUnior's Eyes, Lonely is the Word(Heaven & Hell)
Favorite album of all time is Sabotage and one of your deep cuts is You Won't Change Me? You have excellent taste. Megalomania is a given and Pete coming at us with Slipping Away which is one of my favorites from the Dio era. To be honest, I prefer listening to the deep cuts over the hits any day.
I must say I love Megalomania and Hot Line. Here are some of my picks. - A National Acrobat (I don't know if it's considered a deep track, but I added it anyway) - Shock Wave - Air Dance - Ancient Warrior - I
If I had to make a list:
1. Megalomania - Sabotage
2. Air Dance - Never Say Die
3. Falling off the Edge of the World - Mob Rules
4. Disturbing the Priest - Born Again
5. I - Dehumaniser
Junior's Eyes is my favorite Sabbath deep track. What a great song.
I love Junior's Eyes too! The Thrill Of It All is my top deep cut to share with newbies to Sabbath.
Air Dance for me. It’s very atypical for Sabbath but it’s awesome.
Junior's Eyes and The Writ are always the first songs I think of when someone asks about Sabbath deep cuts. So overlooked but soooo good!
- The Writ (Heavy progressive masterpiece)
- Air Dance (Jazzy Hard Rock masterpiece, amazing Don Airey keys)
- Over And Over (Ronnie James Dio at his most soulful and at the end Tony soloing to the point of ecstasy)
- ALL of Born Again
- Danger Zone (Sabbath at it's most 80s)
- When Death Calls (late 80's anthem)
- I (HEAVY)
Nice to see someone mention Air Dance
Love Air Dance
Good choices. Air Dance is probably the most un-Sabbath like Sabbath song
Saw sabbath rehearsal with Ray Gillen....;was the best sabbath!
"Shock Wave" - Never Say Die album rules. This album does not get the love it deserves!
yeah great song
Couldnt agree more - just becaus Ozzy disses this and Technical Ecstacy they get a bit overlooked, though those are in my top 5 BS albums with Technical Ecstacy at no 1
Never say die is an excellent album, believe or not, one of my favorite.
I was confused between shock wave and looking for today
A Hard Road would be my choice
5. Ancient Warrior
4. Disturbing The Priest
3. When Death Calls
2. In For The Kill
1. Danger Zone
Ancient Warrior is slamming
Love all 5 songs !
Great list!!!! I love all five big time
Good call on Danger Zone
That’s a fantastic top 5!
I love these episodes with Martin!! Very entertaining, you guys rule!!
My list:
"Season Of The Dead" (The End tour CD). This song is better than most songs on 13.
"Country Girl"
"Valhalla"
"Nightmare"
"When Death Calls"
Great episode, gentlemen!
Johnny Blade...surely one of the band's greatest riffs along with Hero The Zero
Agree, Great tack.

That's the song that immediately came to mind when I saw this edition of Deep Cut Dives.
i agree juniors eyes is just a great song
@Donovan Davis same here the only song i could to without is break out other then that the album is not bad as the majority of sabbath fans think it is.
One my favourites.......even outside the Sabbath catalogue🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Juniors Eyes are a well written song. A favorite. Those who pan Never Say Die are tone deaf.
A National Acrobat
The Writ
Back Street Kids
Die Young
Slippin Away
inmyhouse11 Good choices.The Writ and Die Young are epic songs.
Good picks but I would really consider "Die Young" a deep cut.
I think The Writ is epic. I know when Sabotage came out we did acid every weekend for a month listening to it Germany. One morning while walking outside of post in a rural park we were tripping listening to it (carrying a boom box) and were buzzed by two F-4 Phantoms...I think we almost shit our pants.
My favorite five Sabbath deep cut tracks:
- Ear in the wall
- Master of Insanity
- Country Girl
- Loner
- A National Acrobat
Great list!
A national acrobat is a famous sabbath song
@@giladschwinger939 Despite it can be a well-known and loved song by many sabbath fans, I have never heard a live version of it either seen it on any compilation album. So, I think it could be considered as a deep cut.

Bill Ward was a very good singer,actually.And his album "Ward One-Along The Way" is a masterpiece. i highly recommend it.
AllMusic gave it a 5 star rating. Never heard of it, but I may have to check it out.
Seventh Star and Eternal Idol are both incredible albums. Not a bad track on them. Top 10 Sabbath albums for sure.
It's hard to chose from the early Ozzy Era such as their self titled debut, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Vol. 4, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
Here are my picks
1. A Bit of Finger/Sleeping/Warning (S/T Debut, 1970)
2. Planet Caravan (Paranoid, 1970)

Jerusalem!!!
As far as Tony Martin era, I really like “Valhalla” from TYR
Agreed Gary, Great track and album. Amazing singer. His voice on "The Sabbath Stones" is epic.
I like “kill on the spirit world”
Valhalla and the whole TYR album is criminally underrated album. I've really learned to love it over the years.
Tyr is the best Martin album. Changing the lineup afterwards fizzled out the Martin era.
Odin's Court/Valhalla is amazing.
Great show! Lots of great deep cuts from Sabbath.
1) Hotline (Ian Gillan is amazing on this. Awesome riffs!)
2) Looking For Today (I just love this song)
3) Megalomania
4) Under The Sun (That riff just slays me every time)
5) Junior's Eyes
6) Supernaught
7) Behind the Wall of Sleep
8) Sign of the Southern Cross (The best song of the Dio era, in my opinion)
9) Danger Zone (Very underrated)
10) Zero The Hero (Again, that main riff just slays me. Killer, doomy track)

Can I say ‘Country Girl’ is not a deep cut. It is up there with the gold standard of Sabbath. ‘Arguably’ their most catchy song.
The riff, the melody, the bridge 🌉 , the romanticism.

Excellent choices.
Just a American kid Wwho thinks led zeppelin and sabbath are trendy never ever heard Deep purple in rock which influenced iron maiden 🇬🇧
Black Moon on Headless Cross... what a vocal performance!!
"You won't change me" Just love it!!🎸
It hurts that they dont have headless cross on spotify
They should have
Pick up a copy on Ebay. It is well worth it. "Nightwing" is an absolute classic.
It is a shame. The Headless Cross in my opinion is a MASTERPIECE. Every song on it is amazing, especially When Death Calls.
I would see a reissue of headless cross on vinyl or in a big box

3. Hand of Doom
4. The Writ
5. Wheels of Confusion
Who Are You?, Air Dance, Disturbing the Priest, Trashed, She's Gone, All Moving Parts Stand Still (though the lyrics are really outdated).
Nice choices. My five would be ...
1. Air Dancer - Love that jazz breakdown with Airey and Iommi
2. Turn Up the Night
3. Born Again
4. Heat Like a Wheel
5. Anno Mundi - the only one that sounds like Sabbath of these five, but such a killer lead off track.
Megalomania is probably my favorite Sabbath song. There aren't many 9 minute songs I can listen to over and over on repeat, but the way the song builds and builds keeps it constantly interesting.
Bonus track from 13 called methademic. Huge deep cut. Absolutely great song. You have Tony crafting some masterful riffs, Ozzy doing his thing. Fantastic.
Megalomania and When Death Calls are some of my favorite deep cuts by Black Sabbath.
I'm a Purple and Sabbath fan like Pete, and I really loved when Ian Gillan joined Sabbath too. My news source of metal information back then was Kerrang Magazine that I got from Zig Zag Records in Brooklyn.They had all pictures of Ian and Tony at the bar drinking beers and celebrating. I saw them on the Born Again tour at the Spectrum in Philly. The coolest image that I remember of that concert is Gillan playing the Congas during a Metal song. lol Hair flying. Good times.
Thanks Pete and Martin for this list here are my BlackSabbath deep cuts:
- "Wicked World"- Black Sabbath (debut album) - (1970)
- "Hand of Doom"- Paranoid - 1970
- "Planet Caravan" - Paranoid
- "Solitude"- Master of Reality - 1971
- "Under the Sun" - Volume 4 - (1972)
- "A National Acrobat" - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - (1973)
- "Killing Yourself to Live" - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
- "Hole in the Sky" - Sabotage - (1975)
- "Megalomania" - Sabotage
- "It's Alright" (Bill Ward on lead vocals) - Technical Ecstacy - (1976)
- "Die Young" - Heaven and Hell - (1980)
- "Sign of the Southern Cross" - Mob Rules - (1981)
- "When Death Calls" - Headless Cross - (1989)
- "Nightwing" - Headless Cross - (1989)
- "Sins of the Father" - Dehumanizer - (1992)
of course Black Sabbath has so many "deep cut" songs but I feel that these songs for me are the ones that "cut so deep"
A lot of people can Never say die but I love the album. I bought it new in 1978. Shock wave and over to you are great songs! Keep up the good work Pete! Cheers glenn Sydney oz

5) Hand Of Doom
4) After Forever

Spiral Architect- Just cuz.....Sabbath,Bloody Sabbath is my favorite album of the entire catalogue.I love the acoustic intro and the killer riff.
Lonely Is The Word- The sleeper of Heaven & Hell.Great outro solo.
Born Again-The title cut is doomy & dirge-y.Lyrics are different for Gillan.( The grey and plastic retards......" etc.)
Seventh Star- The barnstorming opener of In For The Kill and a melancholy ,thoughtful closer with In Memory....
Here's my deeper cut (some deeper than others) Black Sabbath playlist. One song per album:
The Wizard
Electric Funeral
Solitude
St. Vitus Dance
Spiral Architect
Hole in the Sky
Rock n Roll Doctor
Johnny Blade
Lady Evil
Turn Up the Night
Hot Line
Turn to Stone
Ancient Warrior
Nightwing
Heaven in Black
After All (The Dead)
Cardinal Sin
Forbidden
Neverwhere
Damaged Soul
I would include "Disturbing the Priest" if it wasn't considered too mainstream...as if any Born Again song could be. ;)
National Acrobat - (Surprised how many others love this one too) - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
All Moving Parts - ( Nice Geezer Bass groove/ very Ozzy Solo Chorus) - Technical Ecstasy
Sabbath Stones - ( Sign of the Southern Cross prt 2) - Tyr
'I' - ( Great Stomping Headbang) - Dehumanizer
After All (the Dead) - ( After Forever reprise) - Dehumanizer
So totally agree with Martin Popoff regarding the spontaneous creativity in the Ozzy era contrasted with the more strategic songwriting from the Ronny era onwards.
1 - Over and Over
2 - Call of the Wild
3 - Cross of thorns
4 - Sins of the Father
5 - I Won't Cry for You
Megalomania is a very underrated gem yet it is on of their greatest songs and my second favourite Sabbath song. For others from the various eras I'd pick Children of the Sea, Heart Like a Wheel, The Shining and Born Again. For others I'd put in are Air Dance, You Won't Change Me, Fluff, Devil and Daughter, Psychophobia, Anno Mundi, Time Machine, Under the Sun, Shaking Off The Chains, Forbidden and I could say more. There are so many underrated gems from their career.
Yet another outstanding show by you and Martin Pete. You two have great chemistry together. And this is another fine example. I would really love to see you two do Yes, Pink Floyd, and Rush. Now that would be cool.
Great stuff Pete very fun to listen to now that i just got into sabbath in the last year.
and Martin was a awesome addition
A tough one as I'm one of those that gave up on Sabbath after Dio.
01. The Wirt - it's one of my favorite tunes off my favorite Sabbath album.
02. Country Girl, - always been one of the songs my neighbors are forced to listen to when I play it.
03. Thrill of it All - That's my story and I'm stickin to it, because I got no reason to lie.
04. Over and Over. Love the doomy feeling of this song.
1 - When Death Calls
2 - Disturbing the Priest
3 - The Battle of Tyr/Odin's Court/Valhalla
4 - Cross of Thorns
5 - Kids of Death
Great list!!!!!
“What’s the use” the bonus track of Cross purposes Japanese version is a killer. Up tempo, solid riff, Bobby’s tight drum. It deserves more attention.
•Back Street Kids
•Junior's eyes
•Voodoo
•Falling Off the Edge of the World
•Ancient Warrior
•Lost Forever
•When Death Calls
•Black Moon
And from the stunning Tony Iommi solo album labelled Black Sabbath "Seventh Star" featuring impressive vocals by Mr. Glenn Hughes.
•In for the Kill
•Turn to Stone
•Seventh Star
•Angry Heart
1. Born Again (whole album)
2. The Writ
3. Looking For Today
4. Wishing Well
5. Danger Zone
and
6. I....
No love for "Dehumanizer?" Computer God, I, Master of Insanity, After All (The Dead), not counting the singles TV Crimes and Time Machine.
Loved the version of "I" they did live as Heaven and Hell.
Dehumanizer is definitely a very underated album. It is one of the heaviest Black Sabbath albums ever up there with Born Again.
Agreed...Dehumanizer is awesome!! I think I like it a bit better than Mob Rules.(Not better than Heaven and Hell though.)
@@leafsfan1728
I love all 4 of the dio albums. I prefer to think of them as the HEAVEN AND HELL band.
awesome album! blow me away from the first time! Love Letters from earth!
Slipping Away was indeed played live before the Heaven and Hell band, or at least the first bit up until the solo. It's on Hammersmith 81. At the start of the tour they played most of Mob Rules - as far as I know the only song from that album not played live ever was Over and Over (unless they did it as Heaven and Hell at some point).
Back Street Kids from Technical Ecstasy I think is one of Sabbath's heaviest songs. Seems like its kind of a forgotten song.
I agree
My 5 pics would be:
- Johnny Blade
- Over and Over
- In for the Kill
- Kill in the Spirit World
- Black Moon
Great to hear what other super Sabbath fans think are deep cuts, especially Martin who’s wrote a bunch of Sabbath books. Great insight and selection of songs for sure. I guess I never think of a tune that was played on tour (or multiple tours with Country Girl) could be considered a deep cut, but that’s just my opinion.
Ozzy Era: Thrill Of It All - Dio Era: Walk Away - Ian Gillan Era: Hot Line - Glenn Hughes Era: Danger Zone - Tony Martin Era: So many amazing songs from this era, but I’m gonna go with I Witness
Tony Martin era is killer: "Anno Mundi" "The Sabbath Stones" and the immortal "Nightwing."
1. Megalomania
2. Voodoo
3. Sign of the Southern Cross
4. Keep it Warm
5. Wheels of Confusion.
Excellent choices.
Great tracks, but really not many deep cuts here.
Forbidden had 3 really solid songs. Can't Get Close Enough, Rusty Angels, and Kiss of Death. It doesn't suck as bad others claim. Just sucks when compared to other Sabbath classics.
Wouldnt really count Wheels of Confusion but Voodoo is killer
Ancient Warrior
Angry Heart(my favorite song on the album)
Jerusalem
Psycho Man(I like it)
I've never seen them live or paid attention to their singles so if any of my choices are then oh well.
I love ' never say die' and 'headless cross' two excellent records. Johnny blade, juniors eyes, when death calls, black moon, Devil and daughter superb songs.
Yes! to Bill Ward's solo albums. If you haven't ever, do it. It's challenging at times, (and challenging to obtain physical copies), but ever so rewarding.
The album "Iommi" with Glen on vocals deserves its own Deep Cut video! One of the greatest, yet unsung, albums ever!
Hi, I will put the version of Juniors Eyes with Dave Walker in
- Junior's Eyes
- The Thrill of it All
- Gypsy
- Zero the Hero
- Walk Away
Cheers!
I just listened to “Technical Ecstasy” for first time. I think its in my top 5 Sabbath albums now. “You won’t change me” is awesome!!
1. Who Are You?
2. Meglomania
3. Over and Over
4. Born Again
5. Dear Father
Immaculate Deception- Tony Martin , Who Are You(Sabbath Boody Sabbath) love the Moog synth Wheels of Confusion, JUnior's Eyes, Lonely is the Word(Heaven & Hell)
Johnny Blade, Country Girl, Heart Like a Wheel, Hotline, When Death Calls
Lord of this world, under the sun, national acrobat, thrill of it all, all moving parts stand still, Johnny blade
Favorite album of all time is Sabotage and one of your deep cuts is You Won't Change Me? You have excellent taste. Megalomania is a given and Pete coming at us with Slipping Away which is one of my favorites from the Dio era. To be honest, I prefer listening to the deep cuts over the hits any day.
I must say I love Megalomania and Hot Line. Here are some of my picks.
- A National Acrobat (I don't know if it's considered a deep track, but I added it anyway)
- Shock Wave
- Air Dance
- Ancient Warrior
- I
Megalomania is actually my number 1 Sabbath Track. Just love it.
