Black Sabbath
Black SabbathWas solid. Groundbreaking. Evil woman was kind of lame to me though.

I liked the more avant garde parts, but not so much the poppy parts.
I can see where it might've been the early 70s version of alt /indie rock . I respect their exploration and experimentation with different musical genres, but the music sounded very dated, and a bit hokey at times.
A timeless classic. Reminds me of sitting in coffee shops in my 20s smoking cigarettes talking with people about life and how it might turn out before really understanding what the grind was all about. This music feels like the punk rock of jazz; discordant and frenetic at times, but definitely reflective of the highs and lows of the human condition.
70s prog rock at its finest... if you're into that sort of thing. I am, every once in a while.
Metallica's last good album.
Surprised how much I liked it! Several years ahead of its time. Definitely an influence on electronic music and soundtracks.
I love Nina Simone and several of her songs, but some of the sings on this particular album seemed a little theatrical or show tuney and that's not for me.
