Sabbath. Led Zep were more influential on prog and hard rock, they never played pyre metal. Sabbath did that from the very beginning.

Btw, Zeppelin is my fave non prog band

I LOVE Zep, but I agree with the others that their sound was not as seminal to all other metal that came afterwards as Sabbath's was. Led Zep ended up influencing the Hard Rock movement much more than the hardcore metal one.

Actually, the term Heavy Metal came from 1968 song by Steppenwolf called Born to be Wild.  It was describing the sounds of motorcycles Heavy Metal Thunder.  Some critic picked it up and used it to describe the sounds of heavy guitars which that song also had.  The term just stuck. So Niether of these bands started it.

I chose Sabbath but I also think the Who, Kinks, Jimi Hendrix maybe even King Crimson were hinting at hose kind of sounds at least a few years before Sabbath.

Black Sabbath was THE first heavy band, and they created DOOM metal as well (Master of Reality).

Neither

I think the first heavy metal band was Blue Cheer

Their first album Vincebus Eruptum was released in Jan. 1968,one year before Zeppelin's debut was released and 2 years before Sabbath released their self titled debut album.

He's right. However, there were some other obscure bands who can be credited with helping invent heavy metal, like Sir Lord Baltimore, who realeased two albums - Kingdome Come and Sir Lord Baltimore in 1970/71 and Leaf Hound - Growers of Mushrooms
