Vol. 4 and Black Sabbath my top 2. Supernaut top song for me with the Wizard and Planet Caravan coming in tied for 2.

I’m in re-discovery process of them. Paranoid was essential more or less as a young metal head. I find I can appreciate all this music a bit more as a more patient “adult.”

Not familiar with the Dio era but I’ll give it some time.

But he was visibly struggling
