Sorry if it's already been brought up, but Orchid is a beautiful piece by Iommi , and it is acoustic. Also Embryo, also acoustic and great.

The reason I have to choose Iommi over Page, even though I REALLY like LZ and Page, is imo Iommi pretty much invented the heavy metal riff. I mean there may have been others before him, but Iommi NAILED it.

Sabbath's first album is just sick, and the band is so tight they sound like they had been already playin' those songs 10 or 15 yrs.
