Rock Icons! Black Sabbath Top 10 songs as voted by listeners!

[Charger]

#4 was Iron Man


So what's top three then?

Children Of The Grave
Heaven And Hell
Paranoid

in that order me thinks.

[Jack the Stripper]

Yeah I think in that order too. Personally I'd have H&H #1 of those three remaining though.

Same here 100%!

Is Children Of The Grave that well known?

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

^^^ I know what you mean, even though it's been a staple of the setlist like forever, I don't really rate it as a top 3 song.

I think the 3rd choice could be a surprise (Sympton / Fairies / Wheels / Snowblind etc.), but I do agree that Paranoid and Heaven will be in there.

[Charger]

Well Children Of The Grave does get a fair ammount of play on the station...and it indeed has been a live staple on almost every tour since it came out...

I am rather certain it will be there...

[Charger]

And as suspected

#3 was indeed Children Of The Grave

#2. Heaven And Hell

This went pretty much as I thought it would.

[Charger]

Aaaaaaaand drum roll please....

#1 was surprisingly...

PARANOID!

Hah!

When I have some more time I'll analyze the results a bit...

[Charger]

Okay so the final list is as follows:

10. Children Of The Sea
9. Headless Cross
8. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
7. N.I.B.
6. Black Sabbath
5. War Pigs
4. Iron Man
3. Children Of The Grave
2. Heaven And Hell
1. Paranoid


And lets remember this was done by listeners at the Radio Rock website, where everyone could only vote for ONE song.

So lets make some comparisons to The Community's listings.

Typhon's 5&5 list...

From the top 5 songs selected only two made it to this list. Heaven And Hell and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
Also only the same two from conbined top 5 and near misses list.

Which shows that hard core fans tend to choose some deeper cuts where as average listener picks what you might call greatest hits.

The Battle of the Epics gave us War Pigs as the Ozzy era winner and Heaven And Hell as the Dio Era Winner and Heaven And Hell as the overall winner which kind of does follow in suit with this voting as Heaven And Hell did beat War Pigs here too.

But all in all only 3 songs in common.

Children Of The Sea and Headless Cross being the surprise picks for this voting though...as neither of those songs have been in any of our top listings...

[Jack the Stripper]

Yep, as predictable as we thought.

Maybe you can keep these updates on these rock icon polls going Charger(if you can be bothered?) for the other bands. Might be a bit of fun trying to guess some of these.

[Charger]

I had already decided to do that.

Naturally it'll be a long project a year long to be exact but what the hell right.

I'm sure we'll find out the #11 on the list next week...I'll make a thread on the Other bands section when the time comes.

Aaaaaaaand drum roll please....

#1 was surprisingly...

PARANOID!

Hah!

And lets face facts.  It was Paranoid that actually propelled the band to world wide popularity.

That is quite true indeed.
