OK, it's been said before, by people smarter than me, but COME ON...Black Sabbath needs to be in the RR HofF. If you're going to put Fleetwood Mac in there and these assorted 60's teeny bopper bands in there, Sabbath needs the nod.
Zeppelin gets credit for "inventing" metal all the time, and I am a huge Zep fan. When I was a kid there were 4 bands and everything else was crap. Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones and the Who and Zeppelin was my favorite. THAT said, Sabbath was more "metal".
Try to imagine, if possible, it's 1970 and you listen to Black Sabbath's first album...oh my God you were scared. There was nothing like that before them. Without Sabbath there is no Metallica, no Megadeth, no Anthrax, Slayer, etc, etc, etc.
For inventing what we've come to know as Metal...the class of 2006 should include Black Sabbath.
