Great article on the founders of metal, thank you. The true test of art is its power to outlast its own time and cultural milieu and become timeless, and the music of Black Sabbath has met that test brilliantly. The lyrics of War Pigs are as relevant today as they were 50 years ago, even if our wars are now more psychological than physical.

Iron Man was my awakening to rock and roll. Some grade school friends and I were walking along a river trail listening to a transistor radio. Iron Man came on – if I’d heard it before I didn’t notice. I had to have that record. I still own it.
