The first Montrose album would call that statement into question as would large chunks of Budgie's catalogue.


I would say the first Montrose album, while undeniably great, is very much in thrall to Zep. I'd then ask what particular chunks of Budgie do you have in mind? I think they had vaguely proggish slant to their concoctions, albeit fairly hamfisted. I wouldn't begin to argue who was heavy first out of Budgie and Sabbath: Budgie were formed earlier, but didn't record an album 'til after Sabbath. And there's a lot more folkier stuff going on with ol' Budg.

But in terms of influence, I think that of Sabbath is far more audible throughout the history of rock, while Budgie - despite being, to my mind, a consistently good band right up until the fucking horrible 'Deliver Us From Evil' - dropped the ball in the heaviness stakes after 'In For The Kill'.

I can't believe I'm having this debate. Really enjoying it, mind!
