As I became a metalhead, I noticed the first metal band -- Black Sabbath, the first metal album -- Black Sabbath, and the first metal song -- still "Black Sabbath".
However, N.I.B. is the best track for new listeners. Don't believe when people say this is dark or distorted or symphonic or whatever. This is NOT. The early Sabbath albums are as accessible as they get. Unless you are a princess living in your palace made of sugar, who never saw the dirt in the world, you will like Sabbath's classics, for sure.
It's a love song with real catchy melodies and easily understood lyrics. I wouldn't be surprised if someone put this and "The Reason"(Hoobastank) in the same "greatest love songs" list. The first line says it all, and is the best line to start a love letter to your crush with.
Sabbath songs had a solid dirt feel to them -- they were far from as metallic as newer bands such as Iced Earth and Megadeth. Sabbath is called metal, but actually feels more like soil and rocks, not iron and steel.
