19. Forbidden (1995)

Forbidden was the low point for albums bearing the name Black Sabbath, featuring a questionable partnership with producer Ernie C and a guest appearance with his Body Count bandmate Ice T (trivia: Ice T has recorded songs with Sabbath, Slayer, and the death metal band Six Feet Under). Ice T is a rap legend and was fantastic on the album originally called Cop Killer (later just called Body Count) but the song “Illusion Of Power,” and this entire album, are dreadful. Forbidden is an album best forgotten — and one Iommi says “should’ve been forbidden.” Unsurprisingly, Forbidden was released before the decision to reunite the four members and rescue the name Black Sabbath from additional mediocrity. It was the last Sabbath record until 13.
