2298 Black Sabbath - Iron Man

From: Paranoid; Year: 1970; Genre: Metal/Hard Rock

Sometimes there are obvious songs that I don't know why it has taken me so many years to pick; songs like this one.
Anyway, this has always been one of my favourites from Black Sabbath and is also most likely a favourite of many other people as well. I've always loved the raw grunt of this track, which still works as well as it did some 43 years ago; it must have been amazing to hear this song back then when no one had really ever heard anything like it before. Of course with the fact of it being written around an original science fiction horror story in my opinion makes it all that more incredible.
