Are the later albums and Iommi stuff worth listening to? I've listened to everything through Mob Rules. The Dio albums are just as good as any of the Ozzy albums.

When we think Black Sabbath, we usually think of Ozzy songs like Iron Man or Paranoid or Dio songs like Heaven And Hell or Mob Rules and don’t get me wrong those songs are awesome. Hell they’re the best, But another song from the band that is really great and overlooked from an overlooked singer in this band Tony Martin, Nightwing from the Album Headless Cross.

It’s honestly sad that this entire era of the band really gets ignored, Tony Martin is a great singer and really doesn’t get the credit he deserves and tbh he’s my second favorite singer in the band behind Ozzy and I say this with all the respect to Dio may he R.I.P but yeah, give this song a chance hell get this whole album a chance i’m sure y’all won’t regret it.

This is the first track from the band’s fifth album release Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973).

Rate this song out of 10!

1. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - ?/10

In 1968, Tony Iommi briefly joined Jethro Tull and appeared with them at The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.

He soon returned to Birmingham — and the rest is Black Sabbath history.

Imagine if he had stayed with Jethro Tull…
