3. Cross Purposes is one of the most underrated and least mentioned albums in the entire discography of Black Sabbath.

6. Black Sabbath ‎– Cross Purposes. 17th studio album for Black Sabbath. This album marks the only studio release to feature bassist Geezer Butler and vocalist Tony Martin performing together, as well as the only studio appearance by drummer Bobby Rondinelli. Butler has stated that this album was not intended to be released as a Black Sabbath record but other members of the band have disputed this.

That may be a bold claim, but it combines members from several different eras together for perhaps the most promising lineup since Ronnie James Dio's days with the band. Geezer Butler is there to represent the classic '70s version, Tony Martin returned to the fold to be the '80s representative, new drummer Bob Rondinelli brings .

8. As you can see here, it uses the same “burning angel” image that the Cross Purposes album uses. The Scorpions use predates Black Sabbath’s use by three years (give or take). I have done some research into it, and inquired with a few people involved with Black Sabbath at the time, and none of them have any knowledge as to why the same.
