The Most Important Albums of All Time

Black Sabbath- S/T

Ozzy Osbourne’s performance on this album changed the way music was perceived from 1970 on, but this album was truly created the way it was because Tony Iommi (guitarist) got in a freak accident that changed the way he played. Iommi shaved off his index and middle fingertips by accident, which resulted in lifelong tenderness to the areas that were affected. Because of that, it was more comfortable to tune his low strings down, because the lack of tension was less painful than the alternative. By association, metal was then created.
