I think they were revolutionary in terms of both folk rock and musical protest...

I'd agree but with an added (thanks you young). Ohio is a monster of a song, the opening lines "10 soldiers and nixons gone and, we're finally on our own, this summer I hear the drummin, four dead in Ohio"
That brutal, the music is in no way ominious, but those words creep up my spine. Maybe its the historic relvence.
Tough call on CSNY or Sabbath, I think the easy call is Sabbath, but that doesn't make it right.
