Bought this album when it came out... Thanks for the refresher.

tripping thru the summer country with avalon and my caravan

Holy mother of god, am I hearing right? Thanks for playing this masterpiece!

It doesn't get much better than this.

It's a good song. Prefers the Pantera version though. The lyrics by Anselmo are clearer and not as spaced out as Ozzy's.

Dorm room:  towel under the door:  very smokey:  listening to Planet Caravan:  hypnotic:  fast forward to watching Ozzie stumble around in the only reality show ever worth watching.  Strange days, indeed

Black Who?

I liked Paranoid a lot when I was in high school. Listened to it a lot and I'm amazed this song was on it. I don't remember it at all.

     yes indeed!

We sail through endless skies
stars shine like eyes
the black night sighs
The moon in silver trees
falls down in tears
light of the night
The earth, a purple blaze
of sapphire haze
in orbit always

While down below the trees
bathed in cool breeze
silver starlight breaks down the night
And so we pass on by the crimson eye
of great god Mars
as we travel the universe

Never would have guessed who this was.....

Mine too. I always wondered why they did not do more stuff like this.

The U.S. release of "Paranoid" was held up until January 1971, because the first album was still on the charts (at least in the U.K.).  The band was only formed in 1969.

WOOOOW!

For those of you surprised by this track, I highly recommend you check out Black Sabbath (the 1st album) and listen to Paranoid straight through. There is truly something special about these albums and the breadth of sound and style they convey, while still being distinctly Sabbath.

Sorry, wait, that was SABBATH?

Love it.

Ozzie...Is that you Ozzie?

RP is the only radio station in the world that would play this deeeeeeeep cut

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure Black Sabbath "Paranoid" came out in 1969. I graduated from High School in 1969 and it was one of my favorite albums.

So unbelievably mellow and heavy all at once..  A bit more of Black Sabbath's lesser-played tunes please!

aaaah, washes away that Natalie Merchant from earlier...

Sabbath...one of the most underrated RnB bands ever...Sabbra Cadabbra is truly epic. Amazing band...:)))

Nice track..............too bad Ozzies music turned to gibberish crap as he aged

Never really occurred to me before how cheesy the cover photo/art is.
