“Paranoid”’ #61 12/26/1970

Most heavy metal bands had little interest in singles, and Black Sabbath was no exception. The title track from their second LP was their first US 45 and became a Top 5 single in the UK. Ozzy Osbourne and the guys may have pioneered what could be called sludge rock. Most of their material was plodding with dark lyrics (this being a bit of an exception), but there was a large audience for that.
