Metal turns 40

From: http://www.metalsucks.net/2010/02/12/happy-40th-birthday-heavy-metal/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Metalsucks+%28MetalSucks%29

As has already been pointed out on any number of other websites, February 13 1970, marks the 40th anniversary of the release Black Sabbath’s debut & self titled album in the UK. While there is a certain amount of controversy over the exact origin of the heavy metal sound, the majority of people (who bother with this kinda thing) are in agreement that Sabbath are pretty much the originators of metal, so this would kinda-sorta make it metal’s 40th birthday.
So, please join me in wishing the music we love a very happy birthday.
