Best 100 Musicians of all time list

       Black Sabbath, along with Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, defined the sound of Heavy Metal in its first form in the early 70s. To this day, they still continue to be a prime influence on the influx of underground and mainstream metal bands that are making up this vast musical movement. Their willingness to tackle such dark subject matter the way they did back in their day immediatly set them apart from the more "flower-power" groups that where more popular at the time. One of the most famous (or more acurately "infamous") rock icons of all time made his mark on the band's earlier material, and later went on to establish a very successful solo career of his own. One of the most important contributions of the group, however, was the guitar playing of Tony Iomi. His sludgy doomy riffs, burried behind walls of distortion helped pave the way for many more metal guitarists to come.
