  1. Right with you, Rhett--Sabbath is definitely my favorite heavy metal band. Not only the great, unique sound of Iommi's guitar and amp, but Geezer's sublime bass, Ozzy's passionate vocals, the tight drum work--and so many really great songs. Zeppelin is probably my favorite rock-'n-roll band, but never considered them to be a heavy metal band like Sabbath, rather more diverse and blues oriented, capable of belting out great heavy metal. Black Sabbath's softer instrumentals, like 'Solitude,' have always found quite special, as well. The only fault ever had with Sabbath is Iommi's lead parts can sometimes be a bit aimless, disjointed from the song, and overdone. Like lead guitar that can take you away, tells a story, is more melodic. Felt Iommi didn't always succeed in capturing or holding one's interest with his leads on some of their songs, while still enjoying the song overall.
