Ian Gillan
I kind of thought he was a bad fit. I definitely don't hate his singing though. He's one of the greatest rock vocalists ever in my opinion. I absolutely LOVED all the stuff he did with Deep Purple, and Deep Purple was never better than when he was the vocalist (David Coverdale was pretty good too). But Black Sabbath was just a bit too heavy for his bluesy psychedelic rock style.

This video always kinda makes me laugh at how the audience seems to not really register what they are witnessing - one of the greatest rock bands at their peak giving one of the most brilliant live performances of their entire careers. They're all sitting there stonefaced like they are lost in a maze of confusion and boredom.
