I would say when Tony Iommi had a nightmare. He then told Ozzy about the nightmare. And then Ozzy made lyrics about it which was the song black sabbath and it bassicly created metal.
I’m so happy for his nightmare!

Oh you only wanted one. Well of all those listed I’d have to say that the death of Elvis, was still the biggest thing in my life time. Funny I remember when it happened I thought he was old, now I realize that he was indeed to young to die.
EDIT:
I’ve noticed no one has mentioned the death of Freddy Mercury. It seems like sometimes R&P can’t stop blubering about him, and then there’s times like this when no one even mentions him.
