I have two possible semantic arguments regarding this post, but I've been told never to argue such things with lawyers, because they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.

Electric Eye is the opening track for the bands best selling album. Everyone goes nuts for it live. Hardly a deep cut.

I remember Heaven Can Wait being the only song off SIT to regularly be in every set for a long time. Steve Harris must have got tired of it though since it hasn't been played in like ten years now.

Against my better judgment...what constitutes a deep cut? I would think the Wizard is borderline...

 

And this is the first time I've ever heard Never Say Die as a classic album (even it could -- just barely -- be said to have been recorded with the, or a, classic lineup)...

I would say most people who aren't Sabbath fans don't know The Wizard. To me a deep cut =/= "crappy song that no one who doesn't own the album it's on has ever heard," it just means you aren't likely to hear it on the radio. But I agree with your general point. I would just say a band like Sabbath, or Zeppelin, or The Beatles, isn't going to have "deep cuts" in the way Vandenberg would.

 

NSD is underappreciated IMO. It's better than probably 90% of the albums released by every other artist ever, it's just not better than Paranoid, etc. And if you compare it with stuff like The Eternal Idol or, worse, Forbidden, it qualifies as a classic.

I think the number of songs an album has plays a factor in what can be considered a deep cut. Does an album with seven or eight tracks really have anything deep? I'm not so sure about that.

 

The Wizard isn't a deep cut. It's a very well known and popular song among Sabbath fans and classic rock radio has it in rotation or at least they used to for many years.

I suppose NSD probably deserves another chance, its just with a limited time in which to listen to music, and enough great artists and even other Sabbath albums it just never reaches the point where I'd choose it, even if it was one of the first 10 albums I ever bought.

I'm not so sure about that. I have Sirius/XM in my car, and listen to Ozzy's Boneyard regularly. They obviously play A LOT of old Sabbath. If I've ever heard The Wizard on there, I can't remember it.

 

As I said, a list of top 10 deep cuts =/= a list of 10 filler songs IMO. Is Quest for Fire a candidate for top 10 Maiden deep cuts? Or is it obscure because it's not very good?

I listen to NSD if I'm in the mood for some Ozzy era but I'm not up for listening to Paranoid again.
