Geezer Butler revealed during an interview with Full Metal Jackie which is his favorite Black Sabbath . The conversation took place during the bassist's promotion of his memoir Into to Void: From Birth to Black Sabbath and Beyond.
When asked about his favorite album to make with Black Sabbath, the bassist replied (via Loudwire ): “I think for me it was the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath . Because we had a much more relaxed time doing it. With the first two albums, the first album was done in two days. Paranoid was done in five. So you didn't really have time to relax and sit down and listen to what you were doing. And Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, we did it much more slowly.”
“It was a great time to be in Sabbath because we were establishing ourselves as a band. We had a few pounds in the bank and things were great. It was really good. Everyone was enjoying being together. So, yeah, that album brought back happy memories.”
Geezer also spoke about the bassist who inspired him when he was starting his career: Jack Bruce of Cream . “I saw Cream three times in the late 60s and the first two times I was in front of Eric Clapton because everyone was saying, ‘Oh, you need to see this guitarist. He’s incredible.’ So I went to see Cream and I was in front of Eric Clapton and he was absolutely brilliant.”
“So, the third time, I thought, ‘I’m standing in front of the singer,’ who is Jack Bruce, and I couldn’t believe what he was doing on the bass and I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is incredible.’ He’s playing rhythm and lead guitar at the same time on the bass while singing. So he was immediately named my hero.”
