That may be true, but I wouldn't really be into Sabbath if it wasn't for two main reasons:
1- Gets me through- great song, and when was the last time you heard a Judas Priest song blastin on the radio all day
2- Iron man/crazy train- when you suck as much as I do at guitar (or as much as I did back when i learned them, even though I do still suck) and you can play something that even SLIGHTLY resembles an actual song, you WILL get into it
but for the most part- you are right, because I also don't listen to my sabbath cds too often (but they're still there), and as far as *old* music that I listen to often: Slayer, Metallica, Korn, Meshuggah, Tool, etc.- stuff that's really not old, but It was already out when I started getting into music- so maybe my view of time is just extremely distorted and makes no sense...........
whatever- I really don't even know what the hell I'm talking about anymore so I think I'll stop
-oh yeah my main point was I got into Sabbath through Ozzy's "solo" work, so thats why I consider Judas Priest to be older, and there I go again not making any sense
Oh well, it works itself out in my head whether it does in anyone else's or not
