Zepplin had influence over a broader spectrum of musicians for sure. Thats why one would say that Zepplin was more influential than Sabbath. But Sabbath does hold a special place with the Metal crowd, not because Sabbath was specifically Metal, but because most Metal bands desired the "dark" sound that Sabbath epitomized. > > > I have noticed what you mention.
