[edit] Black Sabbath??

I wouldn't say their sound was "a cross between Black Sabbath & ZZ Top." I'll go with ZZ Top but I don't think they sounded at all like Black Sabbath. Sabbath was into songs about killing/death/apocalypse etc. and BTO was completely different, more along the lines of ZZTop. Ozzie has a high voice, BTO and ZZ much lower/grittier vocals. Sabbath's bass/drums were not especially remarkable, taking a backseat to Ozzie's lead, whereas ZZTop & BTO songs were notable for bass, beat & rhythm. So is there some other band to compare them with?

• I don't like the Black Sabbath comparison, either. No source is cited by whoever wrote that. Other than the full, fat power chords on some songs from this BTO album, nothing remotely reminds me of Sabbath. I would say a cross between ZZ Top and Mountain is closer. Randy Bachman even listed Mountain's Leslie West as one of his guitar influences in an interview track released with the 1998 BTO "King Biscuit" series live disc.
