Okay, not to butt in but shouldn't Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit be in there? I wouldn't vote for it but people seem to consider it important.

Not to mention that the Poll should be called 'most important' not 'more important' since there is more than 2 options.

And how exactly could anything by Black Sabbath be catagorised as important? Anarchy in the UK for example sent shockwaves thru Britain at the time of it's release but what exactly would the average man on the street know about Sabbath other than that their lead singer once accidentally bit the head off a bat? (presuming they even knew it was an accident.)

SILENCE!

and black sabbath were the founders of death metal <albeit in a much more light form> and hence have had a massive influence on modern music.

And like I said, how exactly is that important to anyone other than those who are into death metal? Besides, how much of 'modern music' is derived from death metal anyway?

Dig up stupid.

Its a tought choice between Stairway to Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody as far as the songs themselves go, but Bohemian Rhapsody kick-started the idea of music videos, so that's what I voted for.

Pigman... die. Now. Of cancer... or something. In fact I don't really care how. Just do. Chop chop!

<ahem> Death metal is quite large and has been since the beginning of the 90's. The fact that Black Sabbath influenced such a massive movement (actually... they influenced most metal, but so did Zepplin so I didn't want to mention that initially). Also the fact that it brought Ozzy Osbourne into the public light <and let's face it... he's one of the 10 most famous people in the world probably> means that... hang on... YES! They did play a massive part in music history. Also they helped desensitise the gurgling masses to nasty music. So yah.

Anyway... thankfully since Pigman <fitting name> is dead I don't need to carry on to list people in the industry who worship sabbath.

Shouldn't Chris Chan be in for his classic "My Lovely Black Trousers?"

According to Sesh 1 CTYIzens that was the highest-selling album in the history of music, and the title track appears on Sesh 2's CD-ROM.

Hat Girl

ah now......boys, boys, why don't you focus your anger at each other towards cats?
eveyone should hate cats.
and your arguing for the sake of arguing anyway, coz everyone is entitled to their personal taste in whatever the hell the topic is!
me thought attending ctyi would make you realise peoples individuality, but apparently you haven't. <sighs>
just think of all the cats in the world you could be mean to instead of each other.
there.
god i hate cats.

Yeah, leaving out "My Lovely Black Trousers" isn't fair. But life isn't fair. And, more importantly, Chris isn't fair ("sit in the bin, Mossy"), so he won't really mind.

In the end, I balanced the evidence and went for Bohemian Rhapsody. It also began Queen's megastardomitude and influenced singers for decades to come.
