Well if it wasn't obvious, my initials are MOB and this Black Sabbath album that has my Initials on it was made in my year of birth 1981.

 

So even though the "mobs" who prowl around Australia are what it spoken of in this song (locals know), it doesn't refer to Me, the one Man MOB.

 

With this said, I can't pick my favourite rendition of the song, as while the original shall always rule, given Dio and Lord Iommi, my other favourite rock vocalists' versions are just as good.

 

So which one does 12oz prefer?

Going to be hard to beat an original, especially when it's Black Sabbath to start.  More of an Ozzy/Sabbath fan but Dio outdoes those other bands above without even having to listen.

I would encourage you to give a listen, and I'm more of an Ozzy fan myself, yet Jorn Lande and Russell Allen kill it on those versions, and given that Mike Portnoy is on the drums in AMOB this alone should make it worth your time.

Listening to this again, as the “Gentle”

version of this album is perhaps one of the most emotionally coolest pieces of music written.

 

Whilst the “Storm” version is more my steeze, the reinstrumentation ans contrast between the two versions really shows how much of a genius Mr L is.

 

And if your Mrs doesn’t appreciate the gentle version of “The Greatest Love” then she is dead inside and you best not breed with her.

 some of it's corny but been playing this this afternoon while cleaning the house.

 cannot believe it's been 20 years!

takes me back to having a discman and 5 punds of CD's in my backpack across Europe.

 

 

This was pretty big because it mentioned Bingo from sydney who got killed at 17 potentially depriving Sydney of a style master.

New DJ Shadow.  Album  drops Oct. 27. 

The video is cool as hell but I don't think dude should be driving.  That's not safe.

I have listened to these albums so many times lately as they are fucking epic.

 

While I have never played the video game these songs are the soundtrack to in League of Legends, I have no need given that I have the Devil's foot up My arse (along with the snakes, fishes, and whatever the fuck else is pumped into Me via "Youtube" and the social media I cinsume) such that I have his "Leg End" and as such I must be The Legend of All Legends?
