Best Songs On Black Sabbath's Paranoid

The Top Ten
1 War Pigs

This song is about man's desire to kill and destroy. Sabbath got the idea from war stories they heard when they did a show at an American Air Force base during a tour of Europe. They wrote the song when they were in a grim deserted place in Zurich where they were playing for a small sum of money to an even smaller audience.

Why isn't it 1? It's among the best rock/metal songs ever and is the best black sabbath song? Whatever
1) War Pigs
2) Fairies Wear Boots
3) Iron Man
4) Hand Of Doom
5) Paranoid
6) Planet Caravan
7) Rat Salad
8) Electric Funeral (basically the only song on this album that isn't amazing in my opinion)

It should be a stated fact that this is the best song on the album

The best hard riff in the world of Heavy Metal music

2 Iron Man

Every section of it is fantastic. The intro is perfect, the guitar solo in the middle is jaw dropping, and the ending is spectacular. This has to be one of the best songs of all time.

Yay its number 1 where it belongs its way better than Paranoid or War Pigs

1. Iron Man
2. War Pigs
3. Hand of Doom
4. Paranoid
5. Fairies Wear Boots
6. Electric Funeral
7. Planet Caravan
8. Rat Salad

3 Electric Funeral

GET 'PARANOID' OUT OF THE LEADING 3! I don't think 'Paranoid' is bad but in comparison to other Paranoid songs it is just a bit boring and... Normal. As for me, it's too short, too overrated, too 'beat'. Listen to 'Electric Funeral', 'Faires Wear Boots', 'Hand of Doom'. If you really like heavy metal, you'll love them!

Reflex in the sky

4 Paranoid

This song has everything to become number 1 come on !

War Pigs is a good song but Paranoid is a great song

Always I'm Paranoid to Black Sabbath's fault.

Who doesn't love this song? I mean, come on!

5 Fairies Wear Boots
6 Hand of Doom

Great lyrics, great bass, great drumming, great guitar riffs, really underrated song in this album

After "Iron Man" "Paranoid" & "War Pigs", this should have been #4

This has to be second best

7 Planet Caravan

It's a very unique song by Black Sabbath, I love it.

8 Rat Salad

Should be higher because it is unlike any other song on this album

The drum solo is phenomenal!
