I know that Black Sabbath is probably the most important band that shaped/created heavy metal as we know it today, but I think that they've been put on a 'pedestal,' much like Jimi Hendrix.
For example, Satriani, Vai, Johnson, Malmsteen, or Petrucci could run Hendrix into the ground.
When it comes to heavy metal, I prefer Judas Priest and Iron Maiden to Black Sabbath. I know all three bands are important, but I can't understand why people automatically think Black Sabbath are the best metal band that ever lived. I'd take Judas Priest - I don't care who came first.
Besides, I like most of Ozzy's solo work (with Rhoads) more than his time in Sabbath.
Any opinions?
