Spooky Tooth influenced Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and possibly Led Zeppelin and Blue Oyster Cult.
As for King Crimson, they were clearly influenced by The Moody Blues, who influenced many Mellotron driven Prog bands.
Metallica have influenced a vast number of bands, as did Motorhead before them - but the metal sound was created by Michael Schenker, who is the unsung major influence on the genre.
Pink Floyd too are massively influential - the entire Krautrock scene (or, at least, the rockier side of it) seems to stem from their first 2 albums. They even influenced The Beatles.
But no-one can be as influential as Bob Dylan, surely?
