The 5 Best Black Sabbath Songs According to Geezer Butler - The Bassist Reveals His Favorite Classics!

Geezer Butler, the legendary bassist for Black Sabbath, is one of the pillars of heavy metal. While Tony Iommi and Ozzy Osbourne steal the spotlight, Butler was essential with his bass doubling the guitars, creating that heavy doom sound that defined the genre. Born out of working-class needs and Iommi's accident, Sabbath revolutionized rock. When asked about the songs he's most proud of, Butler named five absolute classics: 'War Pigs', 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath', 'Paranoid', 'Supernaut' and 'A National Acrobat' (especially the first part). These tracks capture the band's anthemic power and Butler's profound lyricism, which is often underrated. 'War Pigs' is timeless, a critique of war that serves as a protest in any conflict - "it never gets old". The lyrics and song construction reflect dark and non-standard themes, establishing Sabbath as an icon. Without Butler's bass imitating guitars, the sound wouldn't have as much depth. He also contributed a lot to the composition. Its importance is undeniable to Black Sabbath's legacy.
