I disagree about Zep taking "initial material" from Sabbath.  Fact is Zep had released their THIRD album by the time Sabbath 
released their first in '70.  Zep took their initial material (I'm Confused [soon to be Dazed] & White Summer) and even name 
(they were billed as the New Yardbirds early on) from Page's previous band the Yardbirds.  When Zep began in the fall of '68, 
Sabbath was still a year away from being formed.  As Tony Iommi was with Jethro Tull in late '68, after which he formed Earth 
which became BS.
