MODERATORS
Van Halen finger tapping the fretboard. Didn't last as a trend, but every guitar player tried it at the time.
Les Claypool from Primus playing lead bass. That was so unique, I don't think anyone really copied it. A watershed moment anyway.
Neil Pert YYZ or the solo from Tom Sawyer. Same reaction from drummers as guitarists for Van Halen. Blew everyone's mind as to what was possible by one drummer.
Obviously there was nothing like Jimmy Hendrix either, but there was so much new and experimental music at the time he unfortunately gets lumped into "60's music" IMO.
The MC5's performance at the Chicago DNC in 1968 (and by extension Punk Rock). "Kick out the Jams, MOTHERFUCKERS!"
All great single acts, but none of them changed the game for everyone else
