Your Favorite "B" of Classic Hard/Heavy Rock

I thought i'd start a Poll on your favorite  Classic period Hard/Heavy Rock Group starting with "B"
      I have included a lot of my favorites, groups that i have grown to love over many years with a signature hard and heavy sound.
       My favorite, though, is a group that is from way back in the early seventies, but whose album was not released until just fairly recently, Bullet, formed by Atomic Rooster musicians John du Cann and Paul Hammond, teaming up with Quatermass bassist/vocalist John Gustafson. The group's music is finely honed and brilliantly played heavy rock, and they sing and play their hearts out on their single album "The Entrance To Hell", as if their lives depended on it.
            They have some stiff competition here, but Bullet are the one for me.
        What is your pick?

Sabbath 

Until a couple of days ago, I probably would have voted Blue Oyster Cult, but I am really into Sabbath lately.

Cult

Black Sabbath by far.

Black Sabbath seems the obvious choice, but I really only like the Ozzy-period stuff, and they've got a ton of albums after that.  I'm going to vote Bloodrock because I think they're a very undernoticed band that has released some really cool music.  The first three albums are all pretty solid, especially the first.

Black Sabbath by a country mile, but an honourable mention to Budgie.

[edit]

OK, not on the list, but this is my favorite 'B' in heavy rock:

Any given day could be Boston or Black Sabbath.  Sent my vote Boston's way.

I saw BOC live once, but it was an outdoor festival gig and I thought they underperformed pretty badly.

When BOC are good, they're great.  But when they're bad, they're just bad.
