Bands ahead of their time.

Subjective topic. Everything's an opinion. Nobody get freaked out.
Have to go with The Smiths for one. They came out of nowhere with innovative music during a period of crappy, awful mainstream bluster.
Some stuff coming out of Berlin is ahead of its time imo, but it's so obscure at this point, no need mentioning it.

Jeff Buckley - he was a major influence to radiohead and the movement that followed. "The Bends" was fully inspired by Buckley, which Tom Yorke has stated in the past. Buckley released "Grace" to terrible sales, because it was completely original for its time. Now it is rightly regarded as one of the most influential as well as classic recordings in music history.

Black Sabbath is a good one

Yeah, I think Sabbath would win this tourney

Jimi Hendrix. His blending of rock, jazz, and blues, employed a variegated style that was relatively unheard of at the time.
Cynic's debut Focus was released amidst the rise of alternative music and the death of all things metal. Extreme music had grown bland in recent years in the States and there were a handful of death metal bands looking to institute jazz arrangements and playing into their songwriting. Atheist and Death were also demonstrating these progressive elements in their music, but the jazz fusion and electronic elements of Focus still sound ahead of their time more than 20 years later.
Gorguts' Obscura. Canada has given us some great frickin' musicians. Listen to every other band from that era and how they were playing and then listen to the opening self-titled track off of Gorguts' third album. Personally, its hard to believe that Gorguts resided on the same planet as their contemporaries.

Black Sabbath is definitely a good answer here
Hendrix, PF as well
Speaking of Black Sabbath, what would you guys consider their best album? I know Paranoid is the most celebrated, but Sabbath Bloody Sabbath rocks so damn hard.

Great choice. I feel like they're really underappreciated as a result

Faith No More is usually my answer to this question.

Hard choice, there's so much greatness in that catalog. As a lifelong fan I'd put Heaven And Hell and The Mob Rules up there with Paranoid, Master Of Reality, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and Vol. 4 (heresy in some circles, I know), but for me it's Sabotage, often overlooked, IMO, when people discuss this. It's a mind-altering, angry, experimental, schizophrenic album. Both staggeringly brutal and soft, and evil and beautiful simultaneously. A perfect marriage.
Symptom Of The Universe might be their heaviest cut, and Megalomania might be the most trippy, scary, wicked song they ever wrote.

This. I was thinking this the other day listening to War Pigs. That came out early Seventies, I think. To think that Elvis was topping the charts roughly a decade before that. Music changed so rapidly from 1960 to 1970. Black Sabbath had to have sounded like they were dropped down from outer space when you think about what it must have been like hearing that on the radio for the first time back then.
