The context is changing! I mean gosh, those early Sabbath albums would struggle to be called heavy metal these days, yet they were supposed to have started it weren't they?[/QUOTE]

I told your dim as that Paul Mac car they created with Heater Skelter. It's not up for debate. It's a hard fact.

Well, to me Black Sabbath in the 70's were heavy rock. Heavy metal is a etiquette more from the 80's.
And yes, Queen influenced a lot of heavy metal bands, but pioneer....mmm, not sure. Oggre Battle maybe.

Yes, but the beginnings were in the 70's. From what I've heard, metal grew out of rock in the 70's. I mean Sabbath initially saw themselves as a rock band. Heavy metal didn't exist! Yet later they are regarded as the band that started metal. So it seems that it wasn't as clear cut at the time as we might now believe.
