Our debt to Tommy is huge, but he isn't the best.

We have no debt to RJD, and he's the worst.
Of course we would have 99% of music today. Is Metal the only genre in existence then? Iommi laid down a blueprint that became the classic Metal template. No debt to RJD? While he is an annoying little prick, he is vocally proficient and breathed new life into Sabbath.

Randy Rhoads was a brilliant player but he will ultimately be buried under the significance of the first two Ozzy solo albums.
