What happens in music between 1968-1980?
That's not the point of this discussion. My premise is: prior to 1980 the only change is the absence of BS. Every other band: Judas Priest, Scorpions, Queen, and (perhaps the most relevant to this discussion) Rainbow go just like they did in real life.
The question is: how would we rank / perceive Black Sabbath if they dropped on this earth in 1980 with "Heaven & Hell"?
