I like them and they arguably revolutionized guitar music, but I wouldn't call them artistic geniuses. I think they just kind of stumbled on something unique and happened to have great chemistry.

Tony Iommi has played the same solos throughout his entire career. As someone who has listened to every single Sabbath album ever recorded, including that "The Devil You Know" album, I find it obvious that Iommi is a rather limited artist.
