Black Sabbath is up there - way up there. A shade behind the monsters like Floyd, Hendrix, Stones, etc. Sabbath may seem campy and ludicrous at times, but they invented modern rock... 33 years ago. EVERYTHING you hear on AOR radio these days owes a debt to Sabbath. People look at their ridiculous behavior and Ozzy's terrible post-Sabbath shtick as indicative of what sabbath was. That's a mistake - if you go back and listen to Vol IV, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Master of Reality, you'll hear the blueprint for the Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Rage, etc...
S(whether modern rock is a good thing is another question)D
