Best Answer

You could argue that Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Blue Cheer, or even The Beatles' "Helter Skelter" helped usher in the age of hard rock, but I would go out on a limb and state that Led Zeppelin's 1968 eponymous debut is the hard rock version of the book of Genesis. Their debut album blueprinted the DNA for all future hard rock bands. The frenetic soloing and primo riffage of "Good Times, Bad Times", the proto-punk velocity of "Communication Breakdown", the ominous and sludgy-dark ponderings of the very long "Dazed and confused", and even "Babe, I'm gonna Leave You" 's folky whisper-to-a-scream dynamics, foreshadowed everybody from Van Halen to Nirvana.
