7 Good Songs From Bad Metal Albums

7. Never Say Die (Black Sabbath – Never Say Die!)

By the time Never Say Die! was released in 1978, Black Sabbath and their frontman Ozzy Osbourne were on shaky ground, releasing average work while the iconic singer battled his personal demons.

Though the album was the worst of the band’s original run, the title track, Never Say Die, is somewhat of a hidden gem, showing that even at their worst, Black Sabbath could produce memorable heavy metal.

In fact, it feels like the only song on the album that had any actual effort put into it. The vocals, drumming, guitar, and bass playing all seem to complement each other perfectly, while the lyrics are catchy and strangely uplifting.

These shreds of greatness ensured that Never Say Die was the only song worth remembering from its dreadful namesake album.
