When I grew up, all those classic bands were totally uncool. Because, well, we were teenagers and had to rebel against everything that came before us. I can remember the look on people's face when I proudly walked in school w/ a bunch of Sabbath LP's under my arm...
But having heard the songs on Ozzy's Speak of the Devil, I wanted to hear the real thing. That opening riff from Symptom of the Universe on that album, man, to me, that was the quintessence of all things heavy.
I first bought Paranoid and it took a a few listens before I really got into it - the guitars weren't as distorted and the whole thing sounded retro, but once I got it, I was in for good, and it opened the door to all those other bands like Led Zeppelin and such.
