One of my first CDs. I have always prefered Sabbath to Led Zepplin and AC/DC, the other two older bands that 8/9 year olds seem to get into. This is mostly to blame. Asides the lack of Electric Funeral and Symptom of The Universe, this is a great collection of Ozzy-era Sabbath. The tracklist is great, although Iron Man feels weakened by its shorter length. Praise must go to containing the entire s/t track, and the entirety of "War Pigs"

It's amazing how many metalheads I run into haven't really given Black Sabbath a listen. But why should they? I mean Sabbath was just the band that set the mold for heavy metal, no big deal. Before we had the low harsh screams of current death metal we had Sabbath, and before we had Sabbath we had bands that weren't as good as Sabbath. To be clear my praise for Black Sabbath mainly goes to the run they had with Ozzy from 70-78, I like Dio just fine but when I think of Sabbath I think of Ozzy... actually I think of Tony Iommi, but for the ideal frontman I think of Ozzy.
If you look up "Greatest hits compilation" in the dictionary it reads: Steaming pile of horse sh*t. While that statement is generally very true, this record is an anomoly. It plays really well from beginning to end, and there isn't a boring track on here. While it can't really match listening to one of their full length records it's a great introduction to the greatness that was Black Sabbath. All the songs that everyone knows are on here (all 2 of them) such as "Iron Man" and "Paranoid". I like the fact that the songs show up in chronological order on here, it wouldn't make a difference if they didn't but it seems fitting to me.
Anywho when I try to get someone to give Sabbath a try I give them this record and make them promise me that they will listen to it straight through. The ones that do are smart people the ones that don't are not.

Black Sabbath Greatest Hits 1790 - 1978 is a increadible album that showcases some of Sabbaths biggest hits and songs. It is missing a lot of good song though like After Forever and Symptom of the Universe. Still a good listen.

It is an amazing album! I recomend it to Black Sabbath fans and to non-Sabbath fans even more. If you like metal you must like Sabbath. They started it all. Thank you Black Sabbath. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because there is some parts of songs that they cut out from the songs, but it is still a great album.
