So, I am a HUGE Sabbath fan as well...this will be from memory so fuck off if I make a mistake or two.YellowSnow said:
Bass too thing on And Justice For All.Swaye said:Can we include metal? If so, Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and And Justice for All will never be topped. Ever.
Just kidding, I love that record. That's a pretty good 4 album run for metal, but I for my money, I would go with the first 4 Sabbath Albums.
Round 1: Kill em All vs. Black Sabbath
KEA:
Four Horseman - great track
Motorbreath - great track
Seek and Destroy - legendary track
Am I Evil (only on early version) - legendary track
BS:
Black Sabbath - great track
The Wizard - legendary track
N.I.B. - great track
Evil Woman - okay track
If you don't count Am I Evil, slight edge to Sabbath, but if you do include it, edge to Metallica. So, draw is how I will call it.
Round 2: Ride the Lightning vs. Paranoid
RtL:
For Whom the Bell Tolls - legend
Fade to Black - legend
Creeping Death - legend
Call of Cthulu - great
Paranoid:
War Pigs - Fucking kidding me??!?!?!?!?!?
Iron Man - legend
Paranoid - legend
Fairies Wear Boots - great
Such a close one here, but I'd probably give it to Sabbath. This is Sabbaths best album though, and it is probably Metallica's second or third best...War Pigs puts it over the top...it is a song, much like One that sets the tone for an entire era of metal.
Round 3: Master of Puppets vs. Masters of Reality
MoP:
Battery - um yeah, does it get any better?
Master of Puppets - legend
Welcome Home/Sanitarium - legend
Orion - insane
MoR:
Sweet Leaf - legend
Children of the Grave - great
Into the Void - good
***This is all I can think of...did I forget one?
This is where Metallica really starts pulling away. This one isn't close. MoP is the greatest metal album ever, and Sabbath is trailing off.
Round 4: And Justice For All vs. Vol. 4
AJFL:
Blackened - legend
Harvester of Sorrow - legend
One - Fucking kidding me???!!?!?!?!?
Dyer's Eve - good to great
Vol. 4:
Changes - legend
Supernaut - great
Snowblind - legend
Wheels of Confusion? - okay
Metallica again. I have always liked Vol. 4, but it just can't stand up to the power of Justice.
My scorecard has it at one convincing win for Metallica, a close win for Metallica, a close win for Sabbath and a draw. This was won in the 3 spot because Puppets is just a MUCH better album than Reality. Jesus, I went fucking Tequilla here but this shit is wheelhouse.
Also, having seen Ozzy live, Metallica multiple times, and Sabbath fronted by Ian Gillan, there is no comparison live. Metallica crushes them. Maybe if I had seen Sababth with Ozzy or Dio it would be different, but I doubt it. And I am the biggest Dio fanboy ever.
Anyway, Metallica forever fuckers. -
I grew up in Shelton so all those highbrow words mean nothing to me.YellowSnow said:
Those are all terrific albums and I own them all. But I don't think AC DC belongs in the same "greatest" rock band of all time conversation with the likes of the Stones or Zeppelin. They were too much of a one trick pony, albeit a band that got everything they could out of that formula.dflea said:TNT
High Voltage
Dirty Deeds
Let There Be Rock
Powerage
Highway to Hell
Back in Black
That's a pretty strong line up right there, too. -
This whole thread needs to be flagged for mentioning metal and not Motörhead.

I think your methodology is sound in this exercise @Swaye but we would just disagree on the score card due to matters of taste. I enjoy Metallica when I'm in the mood and like their 80's body of work. But Sabbath is the end all, be all of metal bands to me. I would say first two Sabbath albums over first 2 Metallica by a mile. Master of Reality is a hard fought victory over Puppets. Draw between Sabbath 4 and AJFA. But that just me...Swaye said:

Saw Ozzy on the late 90's original Sabbath lineup reunion tour while at UW in the later 90's....was a pretty decent show for being old geezers. Pantera opened and those guys fucking sucked. -
For those interested I started an informal poll in the Tug Tavern to determine the top 10 favorite rock recording artists of Hardcore Husky.

I am huge Zeppelin and Who fan, but to say the Stones can't hold a candle to either is FS. Everyone knows that the Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Stinky Fingers, Exile on Main Street run is the greatest 4 album winning streak in the history of rock music. Case closed.PurpleJ said:
I love you man! Not ashamed to say it either!
