10 Classic Albums That NO ONE CARED ABOUT
10. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
The idea of Black Sabbath coming through in the early '70s still feels mindboggling even today. Though there were some heavy acts like Led Zeppelin making the rounds in England around the same time, having the genesis of heavy music concentrated in this secure of a package was surely to ignite the fire for legions of bands to follow. You would think so...just not in 1970 though.
During the entire making of Sabbath's debut, it felt like no one even gave a damn as to whether they succeeded or failed either way. Being the workhorse band that they were, it didn't even feel like Sabbath themselves saw that much in their first outing, seeing how they did nothing to touch up the mistakes. Even when being interviewed about it, Tony Iommi claimed the album was done in just a couple of hours because the band had to go to another gig in Germany the next day.
Once the rest of the world caught on, the fact that it was even in the charts was puzzling to everyone, with Geezer Butler even wondering if there was another band named Black Sabbath that they hadn't heard of. It was all theirs though...and the metal community was bound to come calling in the next few years.
