I don't believe their influence on the genre is overrated, even though there were other bands that certainly also contributed to the birth of metal. However, their musicianship is greatly overrated, every beginner guitarists starts off playing Sabbath, and yet I still see Tony’s name coming up on great guitarist polls.
So what if their music is easy to play? I don't think that takes away from how great a band they are.
Music like many things is about taste, and I get it if others think they aren't that good. But I don't think you can call one of the greatest rock bands ever to exist overrated
