the first six Sabbath albums go like this for me:
Vol.4 the best,(the other four in the middle),SBS the worst. what they wanted to achieve on SBS they perfected on Sabotage. "The Writ" is a masterpiece.

I agree about Vol.4. The best. After that, Master of Reality, Paranoid, SBS, Sabotage, s/t.
I do think they "did" Zeppelin, not in a derivative way. What I mean is that some of their songs seemed to come from a more wholistic Rock n' Roll perspective, one that relied on folk and blues and interplay between instruments, resulting in more of a "rock and roll" sound than a "metal" sound.
I'm talking about songs like "Wicked World", which feels more like Cream or Zep, with a more traditional kind of vibe. Or, as I mentioned in the last BS free for all, the second part of the verse in "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" which has a very Led Zeppelin IV feel to it, even though the song starts out by busting down the door with, total medieval witchcraft and shit. But the pummel breaks and things get pretty, and the resulting sound is easy to describe as being "Zeppelin-like"
but better.
