You seem to be forgetting the Ozzy Osbourne era. Regardless of how great a singer Dio was and how good H&H and Mob Rules are, the Ozzy era is where it's at with Sabbath. If you call the thread The Creators Of Metal - Black Sabbath then logic dictates you would be talking about Ozzy's time with the band. Metal was in full swing and had been for a number of years when Dio joined the band. It was actually with Ozzy that Sabbath "created metal". Here's a song I've always liked from the end of the Ozzy period. Gypsy from Technical Ecstasy, it's a bit prog but still really cool. Technical Ecstasy was actually the first album I ever bought on cd.
