Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Guaranteed everyone reading this has heard the song "Iron Man" off of this album, but once you listen you will see that there are allot more songs on the album that are well worth the time.
So the album was releases in 70' and it is an excellent classic rock album right from the first song "War Pigs" which is one of my favorites. I luckily have this on vinyl so when it gets to the end of the song and it speeds up like your turntable is going out of control you get the full effect. There have been a few times when friends are over and they hear it on the record player for the first time they think something is wrong with it.... very cool.
In my mind this album has everything from the heavy hitting 70's style rock songs like "Hand of Doom" to the jazz fusion like song "Rat Salad". 
This album really shows the talent and stands out as one of Sabbath's best albums.  So as you can tell I like this album allot and think it should be in everybody's collection.  
I say take some time and head to the record store and pick this bad boy up and then rush home and crank it to 11... it is one more than 10 you know.
