The world of music was changed forever when Black Sabbath released their self-titled debut on February 13, 1970.

Opening with the sound of the pissing rain and an ominous bell chiming in the background, the band introduced themselves with the doom-filled eponymous track that inspired generations of bands to come.

Over the next five decades or so, the band released almost 20 studio albums – some perfect and some great, sprinkled with the odd misfire – and their members, Ozzy Osbourne in particular, would lead lives that could never, ever be described as boring.
