I wasn't saying that Black Sabbath's material was better than the examples above, I was saying that they were really the first bona-fide metal band and had everything that people associate with metal. The other bands above were mostly playing a very loud blues rock, psychedelic or acid rock. Like most bands of the time, Sabbath had a noticeable blues slant but that was balanced out with the components crucial to metal at that time.
