Albums that created a new style of music

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?

The album is the earliest known LP release of the rock and roll genre.

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.

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

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.
