I've voted 'no' simply because on a personal level I just can't justify having them in my top 10, never having had the seemingly obligatory Zeppelin phase. The debut is definitive, some tracks here and there; but to me they just pioneered ****-rock and Spinal Tap cliché... apologies to the Devoted. I suppose somebody had to drag the blues through the ****ter at some point.
Are Sabbath a possibility? In terms of importance to contemporary styles their influence was just as (if not more) widespread. I realise they were cheesy but it's Sabbath...
