Love Black Sabbath: not so fond of Ozzy the independent artist.
Its funny: Ozzy sings "Iyurn man" and if you ask for the name of the metal people will say "Iyurn", but ask them to name who Tony Stark is and they will say " Iron man"
I've always said Iron, but everyone I know says Iyurn unless talking about Tony Stark.
Same with jewelry which everyone calls "jewllery".
Drives me nuts.

Ozzy is a brummy, they have an unusual accent. Next time you see him ask him to say "West Bromwich and Districts Building Society". Huge crackup.

Is that like asking a black guy to say "Worcestershire sauce"?

Coincidentally I listened to one of their really old albums for the first time a few weeks ago, and was struck by how some of the songs probably wouldn't be called Heavy Metal now.
I mean, I'm sure they were considered Heavy Metal at the time, but they sounded like sort of Psychedelic to me. Or something. Not sure where I'm going with this :-)
Anyway. I am not really a metal fan, but I really enjoyed it. The album may have been Volume 4.

To me they are easy listening. Just plain comfortable.

Just play the studio stuff chronologically. It goes very smoothly. You will drift. Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, etc will do the same. Very soothing.

I am in the middle of doing just that with King Crimson (again).
