IFLTS: 'Black Sabbath,' Black Sabbath

'Black Sabbath,' Black Sabbath
From 1970's 'Black Sabbath'

This song is the one that first made want to get into the darker side of music [when I was 12 years old]. That three-part progression -- the devil's chord. How do you get more powerful than that? And something so simple. The way that Ozzy [Osbourne] hauntingly lays that vocal melody over it depicts being seduced by Satan -- taken by the devil. That's serious s--- and it's stuff that no one spoke of before at that time. Nobody was talking about that kind of subject matter when they were out -- no one.
