I think I would throw the Police in there as well. Late Seventies, early Eighties Police sounded like nothing before it. Message in a Bottle, Walking on the Moon, Invisible Sun etc. They heralded the coming Eighties sound in the late Seventies.

I was wondering about The Police. Also wonder if Alice Cooper wasn't ahead of his time.

Gonna say this. For 30+ years they have sounded the same. Give it to any college kid in a vacuum and they would think it was new and weird. Never sounds dated because it always sounds college. No matter what college music changes to they stay relevant.
The smiths. Johnny Marr was doing what The Edge would later do. Just do it a lot better. And earlier.
Led Zepplin. A lot of bands were putting out this music but they were just so much better. Layering guitar parts, banjos, ukelele, mandolins, keyboards, bow on guitar strings, and ridiculous tunings. Their weakest part was Robert Plant and he was god damned good. They just were "ahead" of their time musically from a musician standpoint. Like Bethoven and Chopin got together and made a band.

Alternative rock-
The Pixies. Everything they did was groundbreaking.
Metal-
Metallica-Every 80's album pre- the Black album. They changed metal forever. Then the 90's happened & Pantera picked up the torch & held metal together until they crumbled internally.

Foster and Lloyd.
Great songwriting, vocals and harmonies, but they were too pop for country, and to country for pop.

The Beatles created their own time. They were so influential that music and popular culture followed them.

Not really a band, but David Bowie pretty much invented every sub genre of alternative rock in the last 40 years.

Killing Joke. They're self titled album in 1980, does not sound like something from that era.

The Beatles transcended space and time. And that is why they are considered the most influential band of the rock era.

I was discussing music with my daughter yesterday talking about this very point.
Cooper was a godfather to hair bands and whatever sub-genres of goth / metal / satanists, etc. glommed onto him.

Definitely one of the "go to" answers to this question.
Jimi Hendrix Experience was unlike anything I'd ever seen (saw them live).
Velvet Underground
MC5 maybe.
Funny thing about Sabbath, my friends and I, most of whom who were musicians, never took Sabbath particularly seriously. Thought of them as sort of fun and a goof for their lumbering over the top, yet astonishingly simplistic, style.
