As far as rock goes, I have yet to find a band that has more "wow" songs than Sabbath. Sabbath is still a major part of today's everyday listening music, after 30 years, they were way ahead of their time.
I first saw Black Sabbath play in a pub called The Wakes Arms, it was an old coaching inn. They were loading their own gear in and out of the van.

They were good.
