Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath is one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time. They helped pioneer metal through their contribution to stoner metal. They are considered the original "doom metal" band. Their early macabre theme helped them garner success. Frontman Ozzy Osbourne went on to have a successful solo career. In the eighties power metal musician Ronnie James Dio replaced Osbourne until his death in 2010, after which Osbourne returned. Unfortunately, Black Sabbath was not inducted their first year of eligibility.
