Jeden ze základních kamenů hardrockové muziky 70. let a skupina, která naznačila další ubírání rockové hudby směrem k heavy metalu. Pozdější metalové proudy navazovaly i na jejich složku textovou a ideovou (okultismus, mysticismus apod.)....

Píseň: Back Street Kids

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
Technical Ecstacy
I'm just another back street kid 
Rock 'n Roll music is the only thing I really dig 
Can't stop the music going round inside my head 
I'm a rock 'n roll soldier, gonna play it until I'm dead 
Nobody I know is gonna take my rock 'n roll away from me 
Sitting in the back seat of a shiny limousine 
Living in a taxi can't remember where I've been 
Playing my music, sitting in my hotel room 
Writing about the stars and thinking about the hand of doom 
Nobody I know is gonna take my rock 'n roll away from me 
Living life comes easy if you know which way you're going 
Got to see yourself in other's eye's, surprised? 
Living like I want to don't come easy, but I'm trying 
Sorting out what's true and what are lies, it's wise 
Brought up in a back street living with the salt of the land 
Seems that now my music's paying off my tax demands 
So listen to the music, want to see you get so high 
'Cause I'm a back street rocker and I will be till the day I die 
Nobody I know is gonna take my rock 'n roll away from me
