That's too bad. Sabbath is one of my all time favs. You got a favorite song Ru?

Here are a few of mine:

Johnny Blade
The Wizard
Planet Caravan
Hole in the Sky

Too many to list!

That sucks. Hope he pulls through.

Warpigs.

You prefer Ozzy or Dio?

N.I.B. (with Dio)
Heaven and Hell
Symptom of the Universe
Black Sabbath...because it begins with the word Black

True conversation...

Years ago, I was in an old LP/record store looking for some stuff when this exchange happens:

RU: "Excuse me but why do you carry mostly the Ozzy albums for Sabbath? Do you have something against Ronnie James Dio?"

Clerk:"Nothing against Dio, my inventory is just low right now. The bigger question is why on earth do you listen to Black Sabbath?"

RU:"Honest to God, I thought they were a progressive Black Gospel group up until a couple of weeks ago. Then I happened to see a video on Headbangers Ball (MTV). And so now I know my soul is doomed."

Fantastic story Ru. I don't think I prefer Dio over Ozzy or Ozzy over Dio, they both added a unique twist to Sabbath.

You? Heaven and Hell and the Mob Rules are incredible albums.

Oddly enough, listening to The BlackByrds now in keeping with the Black theme. Next, Banda Black Rio!

You crack me up but you and Jim have freakin' fantastic taste in music!!

Damn it Sal...now look what you've gone and done...I groovin to this shit like a mad man now:

OMG!

Ru-

Thank you for seeking that out. Frickin' insane music from Banda Black Rio. Funk and Brazilian is beautiful stuff.

Jim and I talk about music often, as you can imagine, and I'm very (very) happy that my musical palette is so vivid.

On the way to work this morn:

Blasters, Little Walter, Viva Brazil and some of the Bioshock 2 soundtrack. Ahhhh.

I know I really need to get in on those conversations Sal. I used to fiend for Banda Black Rio. Amazing funk/Brazilian jazz. It is a huge blessing to have such a wide range of musical taste. I am introducing my kids to the same genres of music. I hope it helps them to see the world in a different light.

It his hilarious to watch my 2 & 3 year old listen to samba, merengue, and stuff. They don't care if they don't understand what they are saying, they just start to thrash. Much like we did way back when in the MOSH PIT!!!

Which reminds me...I need to break out some Bad Brains. It has been too long.

Double OMG! Great track, RU! Now, let me dig thru my stacks and see what I can find...

[CTC-JimRimya]

Here's one keeping with the 'black' theme... but we're really getting off-track from the OP. Oh well.



(And yes, I have this on vinyl somewhere)

[CTC-Salchicha]

Good one Jim, haven't heard that one in a while.
