every song on Powerage is a gem. funnily enough Back in Black never did it for me as an entire album...

hmmmm, not that I think of it, I could chuck QOTSA - Rated R in as a 10/10....

DazMarz

Very few albums meet that criteria with me, tbh... But some slipped through and became solid faves of mine that I could listen to over and over again, every track being a classic to me:

Whitesnake - 1987/Whitesnake
Whitesnake - Slip Of The Tongue
Def Leppard - Hysteria
Def Leppard - Pyromania
Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet
The Cult - Sonic Temple
Bon Jovi - 7800 Fahrenheit
Ratt - Out Of The Cellar
Van Halen - Van Halen
Van Halen - 1984
Vandenberg - Vandenberg
Europe - Final Countdown
Europe - Out Of This World

off the top of my head anyway.

I never thought I'd see anyone else who also really loves 'Silent Waters' as much as myself. It really is a brilliant album, and I much prefer it to 'Eclipse'.

Silent Waters is definately a 10/10 album. I would love to go and see them in Nov in the UK. Will have to see what the funds are like by then:)

Different folks ... different strokes ...

I prefer Dio's vocal delivery and I think when he joined Black Sabbath his lyrics and songwriting , coupled with the maturity of Sabbath as a band (what were they when Ozzy left - 10yrs old ??) , brought a different vibe to the overall output ... a strength in the songs which I prefer.
As Iommi put it "when Dio came in, it was a different attitude, a different voice and a different musical approach, as far as vocals. Dio would sing across the riff, whereas Ozzy would follow the riff, like in "Iron Man". Ronnie came in and gave us another angle on writing."
If I never hear Paranoid again - no loss.

What you say is very valid, Ozzy sabbath and Dio Sabbath are two totally different sounding bands. I think the difference for me is that Ozzy sabbath is more raw and edgy than the more polished Dio Sabbath. The riffage in Ozzy sabbath is just so good, many memorable riffs which drove the songs along. The Dio approach is much more complicated and probably more considered but lacks the killer hooks of say Supernaut. I like Dio Sabbath a lot but its just not as good as Ozzy Sabbath. By the way I would quite happily live my life if I never heard Paranoid (the song not album) again

Yeah man, Im not saying Ozzy Sabbath don't have iconic tunes and I love the rawness and Iommi's riffage of that era too .. N.I.B., War Pigs, Planet Caravan (not exactly what we're talking about but still iconic), Fairies Wear Boots, Sweet Leaf, Children of the Grave, Killing Yourself to Live etc etc ... but as a complete album .. I love Mob Rules hence I gave it 10/10.
