So basically, I don't want this to become some sort of bashathon-of-bands-X-Y and Z my-favourite-band's-better-than-yours ordeal. Rather, I'm really interested in coming up with a more or less definitive shortlist of the most important, innovative, creative and/or influential artists and bands that were sufficiently ACTIVE over the specific period of 1965 to 1970 (so I'm excluding bands that only emerged in 1970 for example, or very late 1969).

I'm very interested to see who are considered to be the most revolutionary and cutting edge acts, other than the usual obvious choices - Beatles, Floyd etc.
