Yeah, Sabbath were obviously a key influence on Metal but Priest brought all the elements together to really create that 'classic' Metal sound. Rapid Fire off the British Steel album marks a real break for me between Heavy/Hard Rock and what most people would immediately recognise as Heavy Metal.
Or put another way. It's possible to like Sabbath without liking most Heavy Metal but you couldn't say you like Judas Priest but don't generally like Heavy Metal.
