Planet Rock (the UK based Internet Radio Station) has been celebrating 50 years since Black Sabbath changed their name by having a month of special features dedicated to the band.
One of the things they did was undertake a poll of the listeners favourite Black Sabbath album and today they have announced the result and will play the top album in full from 11pm tonight. The result is both predictable and unexpected... Forbidden in at number 8 WTF!!!:
1. Paranoid (16.7%)
2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (16.1%)
3. Heaven and Hell (16%)
4. Black Sabbath (11.1%)
5. Master of Reality (7.9%)
6. Vol.4 (7.5%)
7. Sabotage (6.2%)
8. Forbidden (4.4%)
9. Dehumanizer (2.4%)
10. Mob Rules (2.2%)
11. Headless Cross (1.9%)
12. Never Say Die (1.8%)
13. Technical Ecstasy (1.5%)
14. 13 (1.3)
15. Born Again (1.2%)
16. Seventh Star (0.8%)
17. Tyr (0.4%)
18. The Eternal Idol (0.3%)
19. Cross Purposes (0.2%)
Obviously I voted SBS!
Sadly it doesn't say how many votes there were as a low turn out could have skewed the result. The full article here:

A couple of oddities, as KDC points out, yet, I would say most of the list makes sense.
I would like to have seen who voted for what by age of the voter.

Maybe Forbidden was a target of a "vote for the worst" campaign of some sort... ahead of Dehumanizer and Mob Rules? :naughty:
