Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.

He was a founder member but as you say - does that make him a pop star?
Everybody knows Ozzy simply because of who he is but Iommi is really just one of the guys.

A lot of you might not know who he is and what music he made. Including me for a time. But his music had something in common with the godfather of soul himself, James Brown: His music was sampled to death. If you don't recognize anything in these tracks, you might as well be tone-deaf.
I'm sure there are a lot of samples you recognize from Troglodyte.


Also, It's just begun was also a massive source of samples.



Most notable tracks that used his music were:
Beat dis - Bomb the bass
Pump Up the Volume - M|A|R|R|S
Weekend - The Todd Terry Project
Big hits that had a funk foundation from the Jimmy Castor Bunch.

But you'll really get a sense of his influence when you see the full list of tracks that used his music.
Here are four pages of tracks!
Top 50 list for 2013.
1) Hal Holbrook, 2) Robert Wagner, 3) Roger Moore, 4) Dries van Agt, 5) Jan Terlouw, 6) Margaret Thatcher , 7) Shane McGowan, 8) Little Richard, 9) Jerry "The Killer" Lee Lewis, 10) Jean "Toots" Tielemans, 11) Nelson Mandela, 12) Barbara Walters (The part that is not plastic), 13) Bob Dole, 14) Nancy Reagan, 15) Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 16) Antonin Scalia (Well, that's just hope.), 17) Stan Lee, 18) Christopher Lee, 19) Gerard Helders (oldest living Dutchman), 20) Tommy Chong, 21) Christopher Plummer, 22) Peter O'Toole, 23) Joop van den Ende, 24) Gene Simmons, 25) Billy Graham, 26) Stephen Hawking, 27) Remco Campert, 28) Donald Trump (pleeeeease), 29) Paul McCartley, 30) Jimmy Carter, 31) Fidel Castro (New Deathlist favorite), 32) Murray Walker, 33) Nancy Reagan, 34) Fabiola of Belgium, 35) Nile Rodgers, 36) Peter Sallis, 37) Maureen O'Hara, 38) Fred Phelps (asshole), 39) Berry Gordy, 40) Prof. Bob Smalhout. 41) Lisa Marie Presley, 42) Jan Akkerman, 43) Rob de Nijs, 44) Armand, 45) Helmut Kohl, 46) Teake van der Meer (Frisian comedian), 47) Barry Gibb (might as well go four for four), 48) Michael Palin, 49) John Mayall, 50) Madeleine Albright.

"We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."
