Selling at least 75 million copies worldwide, Black Sabbath is one of the most commercially successful heavy metal bands of all time and often referred to as THE greatest heavy metal band of all time, helping to literally create the genre out of thin air. In addition to their 19 studio albums, Black Sabbath has released 8 live albums, 16 compilation albums, seven concert films, and one EP. Few bands have had so many lineup changes as Black Sabbath. The only constant during their 49 years of existence was Tony Iommi, but even HE quit the band briefly, remember? Regardless, they remain one of the most innovative bands to ever exist. More importantly, they remain one of the most INFLUENTIAL bands to ever exist, not just with music, but with literature, television, and movies. Whether you realize it or not, they’ve influenced you, too.
