Church. I don't know if this touches on what you're talking about, but I love old school metal, punk, and proto-punk more than the later stuff in general, not because it's better, but it's often a sound that's being explored with wonder and joy rather than a later artist with confidence built on the shoulders of giants and an idea to refine what previous artists have already done.
Take Suicide. Plenty of electronic artists have become far more sophisticated, but Suicide burned their bridges and went to square one, even if square one could never have reached the subtle heights of their descendants. But they arrived at a far more visceral and excited sound than so many of their followers simply because they didn't know what to do and that was amazing.
