Release date: 1970
Standing track: Paranoid
It's a fact: more than 75% of rock music that came from the early 80's wouldn't have had been possible if this album weren't there. Paranoid forever changed British rock music and laid down the blueprints of true heavy metal and a new legend was born in Tony Iommi and his heavy guitar riffs. Oozing out tracks like Ironman, War Pigs and the title track, it's no wonder this album is considered the Godfather of Heavy Metal
