For what it's worth, Black Sabbath is probably one of the more deeper and musically challenging metal bands. Especially near the end of the Ozzy era, they began to develop a really interesting sound (and probably lost alot of people along the way)...but I know what you mean...there are plenty of people who have probably never listened to anything more challenging than Zeppelin or the Stones and don't even know that any female singers even exist besides Madonna.
