Every riff you've heard since 1990 is derived from Black Sabbath. Their influence is miles wider than Zeppelin. Thats not because they're better than Zeppelin - its just because Sabbath had better hooks than Zeppelin. And nobody can play like Zeppelin, so nobody tried.
Paranoid through Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are simply balls out amazing records. Unfortunately, Black Sabbath is terribly uneven on every record. For every two classic songs, there's some absurd piece of art rock garbage. Master of Reality actually shakes my truck. There's never been anything heavier than that record.
