Ahhh...I'ts nice to hear Iommi get praise here.  Makes me feel all warm and 
fuzzy inside.  The Who is my favorite, but Sabbath comes in at about number 4 
or 5 for me.  I'm on the Sabbath list also and inevetably bring up The Who over 
there from time to time (where they seem to be well-respected...)   I can't 
think of a lot of Who-Sabbath links, but just to stay on topic, I'll give it a 
shot:

- Daltrey and Iommi performed "I Want It All" together at the Freddie Mercury 
Memorial concert.
- Cozy Powell appeared on "Under A Raging Moon."
- Zakk Starkey played drums on Tony Martin's 1992 solo album, "Back Where I 
Belong."
