I was listening to Snakes & Arrows the other day and funnily enough could hear a bit of Sabbath influence. It's obviously not all that noticeable though for a band like Rush.

 

The main riff in Stick it Out sounds pretty Sabbath-y also.

Good question. One that I don't find easy to answer. Black Sabbath played a lot of heavy, dark material but most of it was pretty plodding by comparison. I'm stupified by this one...

 

Maybe Working Man???

Another one could be Witch Hunt...

 

I think Witch Hunt, lyrically, is eons beyond anything Sabbath ever conceived.

um, hello?? sweet leaf, anybody???

 

in all seriousness, I do think sabbath have some great lyrics. a little simpler than neil's, but geezer has touched on some classic themes - war, addiction, pollution, etc - in some interesting ways

I can't believe nobody has said it yet........

 

Repetitive guitar hook. Check

 

In the keys of E or A. Check

 

Could see Ozzy singing the lyrics. Check

 

Instrumental Section used more than once. Check

Black Sabbath hardly played completely plodding stuff.

 

The Wizard, NIB, Fairies Wear Boots, Paranoid, War Pigs After forever, Wheels of Confusion, Supernaut, St Vitus Dance, Sabbra Cadabra, Looking for Today, Killing Yourself to Live

The Writ, Symptom of the Universe, Thrill of it all, Backstreet Kids, Never Say Die, Air Dance, Johnny Blade, Anything Dio related prior to Dehumanizer. Trashed, Digital Bitch, In for the Kill, Some Kind of Woman, Born to Lose, Nightmare. the list can go on and on.

Broons Bane or Hope =all the fiddly interludes that Iommi used to do.Tears/Changes (the wheezing mellotron).I Think i'm Going Bald/Am I Going Insane,not so much musically but both nonsensical songs.Talking of the heavier toons which i am sure what this thread is aimed at i keep hearing late 70s sludgy Sabbath in Test for Echo.Then there is What Your Doing/Heartbreaker.....err,i think thats Zep.
