"Heaven and Hell" was my favorite album in High School:

Favorite Sabbath tune has to be "Into the Void":

Still making great music even today. Check out "Bible Black" from 2009:

Hope he makes it through the cancer. Not many people can say they created a whole genre of music like Tony can.

And I agree! I thought The Devil You Know was a great album. It stands up to all of Sabbath's stuff, with or without Dio.
