hmm, interesting that. i take your point about sabs being by far the more if not most influential metal band in history. infact i'd go as far as to say that that fact is indisputable.
dare i mention the beatles? their influence massively bled over into heavy rock and metal from clumsy attempts to rip their 'ness off by Ozzy when he wrote or co wrote or whatever tracks like 'no more tears' and then there's bands that went for it whole sale like Enuff Znuff nd the Electric Boys (big hair tons of jewelry and to be honest quite slick little plagiaristic ditties)
ELO were the beatles until they ran out of beatles songs. Sad to say but you can hear their influence all over the fucking shop...

apparently Ozzy is one of the major Beatles' collectors, but Butler and Iommi are responsible for most of the songwriting that made Sabbath.

They had Bill to do all that. See 'It's Alright' on Technical Ecstasy. The Peter Criss of Sabbath!!!

Are Zep That Good? Maybe Sabbath...

Personally Zep were always light years ahead of Sabbath. Zep could get down & dirty, twee & fiddly, deep & heavy....all on one side of an album. Sabbath were more of a lumbering beast & something of a one-trick pony, though I have come to appreciate them more in later years. But it's often forgotten that LZ had possibly the greatest rhythm section in the history of rock'n'roll. Sure Bonham deserves all his individual plaudits but Jones is - and remains the perfect foil (heard any of the bass on the album he did with Diamanda Galas? Simply stunning. Rocks like a bastard...)
With LZ it was as much about what they left out as it was about being a rock beast. And simply the greatest purveyors of the art of dynamic. Imagine how easy it must've been for Plant & Page with those two behind 'em.
