I never said it could. But if you would be so kind Mind Movie, could you please post a rock album that was released before Rock With Bill Haley and the Comets. It was released in 1954 by the way.

I'm sure this album invented something, but I haven't a clue what that would be.

I doubt that the invention of rock and roll music can be attributed to one particular LP. In that period of time, I guess singles were the dominant music media as well.

Don't know if they really were first or not, but Liquidiser by Jesus Jones was the first album I know of that fused guitar rock, dance, and electronic music and sampling into something awesome.

I'll agree with you that Colour of Spring is a transition album, and that's it's great, but it's easily classified as pop. Spirit of Eden is a totally different kind of music

The Shape of Jazz to Come-Ornette Coleman (free jazz)
Nevermind the Bollocks-Here's the Sex Pistols-Sex Pistols (punk)
Blue Lines-Massive Attack (trip-hop)
Talk Talk-Spirit of Eden/Slint-Spiderland(/Metal Box-PIL) (post-rock)

for some reason I think Birth of the Cool and one of Miles' fusion albums should be on here, but I'm not sure

I think The Colour Of Spring as an transition album evolved post-rock as well and on viewing this thread, this was the first one that came to mind.

We Care A Lot Faith No More

On the whole, I can't say their innovation was a good thing.

I'm just finished listening to Days of Future Passed by The Moody Blues. I came to think that the album was hugely innovatve, and I don't believe something quite like it existed before - I can't find a former pop/rock album where everything feels so theatrical and overblown, filled with fantasy inspired poetry, backed up by a complete symphony orchestra and where the songs are rather suites divided into movements. I'll dare to call DoFP responsable for turning rock music into its 70s style: pompous and ambitious (or pretentious and self indulgent, as the skeptical would say). Though I'm not a fan of the album, I admire its attempt to create something unique.

Which albums do you consider to have created a new style of music?
