FTR, I can't stand Adorno's musings on music.

If it's impenetrable, whose fault is that?

Bill Ward was a punishing drummer. And Iommi whipped up some dangerous de-tuned riffage when he felt like it. His guitar tone was cracklin' fresh, like a sweet wash of sand-paper against one's nether regions.
But the following are ass:
* Ozzy's faux-blues caterwauling and ridiculous lyrics
* Iommi's attempts to play loud blues solos which put their heads on the tips of baseball bats, spin around dizzily and go nowhere in particular
Black Sabbath *was not* a great band. They had many, many deficiencies which will forever bar their way into the sacrosanct halls where rock's upper echelon will forever dwell. They still kicked ass mightily at times ("War Pigs," I'm looking at you), but the overall effect of their career has been -- considering the number of sub-moronic peanutheads who have sprung from their particular splattering of seed -- deplorable. Were the world poorer for the loss of Weedeater, Megadeth, and Iron Maiden, many of us would probably deal with such a situation with a degree of admirable, composed resolution nonetheless.
Fuck you, Black Sabbath. You are wildly overrated, and admired by googly-eyed, troglodytical spittle-dribblers nationwide, for no apparent reason.
"Supernaut" is still pretty great, though.
