I'm going with Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath. Sure, much of the album is this blues jam material, but the title track is very much a harbinger of things to come, as far as metal goes. I guess you can look it this in several ways, but I do see that album as the genesis of a genre and a new movement in music.
