(Almost) Everyone agrees that Black Sabbath was and is still the biggest inspiration for a vast majority of the Heavy bands we listen to every day. Stoner, Doom, Sludge, whatever the genre, many current bands worship The Prince of Darkness and his 3 acolytes, Iommi The Lord of the Riff, Geezer, and Mr. Bill Ward.

A lot of these bands worship so much Black Sabbath they even decided to cover one (or several !) of their songs, or should I say, “masterpieces” !

So here are the TOP 51 Black Sabbath covers done by Stoner /Doom / Sludge bands. I know many more bands covered the first Heavy Metal band ever, but if I chose to do this I’d still be searching for them… I also decided to sort them alphabetically, by the band who did the cover. I could have done this from my least favorite to the ultimate Black Sabbath cover, but my tastes won’t necessarily reflect the ones of everyone coming to read that list (and also because I’m a lazy motherfucker 😛 ). I also want to say a big thanks to all the people who helped me gather this monster list on Facebook or Reddit.

So why 51 ? Because the 51st is also a cover, but a very particular one… 😉

Oh ! And you’ll also find a playlist of those great covers at the end of the post.
