    There's not a lot of original vocal melody in early Sabbath, it's usually just Ozzy singing almost exactly what Iommi is playing. As a vocalist, it's a bit of an easy way out.

    The first four (hell, all of the albums really) Zeppelin albums on the other hand had wonderful, beautiful vocal melodies. Some of the stuff Plant was doing goes so far beyond what Ozzy could do. Of course, the music he had to work with, in my opinion, what much more expansive. Plant had Iommi beat by a mile as a songwriter and a guitarist.

    And the Zeppelin rhythm section can't be touched.

    I like both bands, but Zeppelin has Sabbath beat in talent, songwriting, diversity, and just about everything else.

    black sabbath is great but led zep is the best rock band ever period.

    and ozzy is a big loser now anyway.

    Ozzy wasn't the only member of Sabbath you know ;):D

    I rather liked the non-Ozzy years of Sabbath

    led zeppelin it´s a short better than black sabath, but most people ´´especially young people´´and bands prefer BS more than led zeppelin, due to sometimes BS reunion ´´remember us who is the first and greatest metal band´´ , Ozzy solo career, ozzy and sharon idea of OZZFEST who bring the hard rock-metal to maximum...

    and all the voices of new and old generation of hard rock-metal bands who call Black sabath as their biggest influence....
