Black Sabbath helped redefine, and almost create really a new heavy metal sound, although today it doesn't seem that heavy at all. Ozzy's voice and wild attitude helped launch this band to ridiculous heights. Sweet Leaf starts off their 1971 album Master of Reality, and yes, it is about marijuana. This is probably my favorite song of theirs, as the guitar is so simple yet so powerful. Well worth the listen if you are looking to rock out.

Sweet Leaf
Alright now!
Won't you listen?
When I first met you, you didn't realize
I can't forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind
I love you, Oh you know it
My life was empty, forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
Come on now, try it out
Straight people don't know, what you're about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you sweet leaf
