What is this that stands before me? / Figure in black which points at me / Turn around quick and start to run / Find out I'm the chosen one / Oh Nooo!

- "Changes" and "Heaven And Hell" to start it off.
- Four words: "I. AM. IRON. MAN."
- One Word: "Paranoid". Though just about anything from Black Sabbath qualifies.
- "SOITTAKAA PARANOIDI!!"
- "War Pigs" is the best protest song in the history of forever, especially the parts starting at 3:20 and 6:07.
- Faith No More's cover is pretty damn good, too. As for Sabbath originals, there's "Die Young" or "Into the Void".
- "Lost Forever", "When Death Calls" (With guest apperance from Brian May!), "Call of the Wild", "The Law Maker", "Jerusalem" etc. Seriously, the albums with Tony Martin deserve more love.
- "Symptom of the Universe" is another biggie. It's a pile-driving number that helped inspire the thrash movement, but what really makes it awesome is that after completing the impressive main song, they float down with an effective acoustic coda.
- If "Children of the Grave" doesn't have you headbanging by the first power-chord, you may not have a pulse. The opening instrumental "Embryo" should also get a mention for being so twisted and evil sounding.
- "The Wizard" is just bluesy enough to rock out, and just heavy enough to fist pump to. And it shows off Ozzy's harmonica abilities.
- Can you imagine Bruce Dickinson singing "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"? It's awesome, really.
- "N.I.B.", particularly the bass solo at the beginning. "OH YEAH!!!"
- "Snowblind".
- "Neon Knights" and "The Mob Rules" with Dio. If that doesn't get your blood pumping, you don't have any.
- "The Mob Rules" was used in a trailer to Brutal Legend. It will make you run with an axe too.
- "I" by Black Sabbath during the Dio years. If there is any way to describe it, it's as taking a Large Ham, a healthy dose of magnificent bastardry, supreme arrogance, and a complete lack of a moral compass to a blender. What comes out is a magnificent "I Am" Song.
- This version of "Behind The Wall Of Sleep", turning an above average track from their debut album into a head-banging masterpiece.
- You used it for the page quote but forgot to mention Their self titled song. Truly the greatest use of Tritone ever.
