Black Sabbath - half of these bands in this thread would not even exist if it weren't for Sabbath. Slayer is second, IMO - notably 'Reign in Blood'.
And then there's Zeppelin and Hendrix, of course...
I consider The Beatles more pop than rock...*shrugs*
In the past ten years: Slipknot and System of a Down
Before that: Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Morbid Angel...
