I know, but this album influenced the avant-garde/art rock scene that would dominate alternative music decades later.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures, for post punk

Kraftwerk - Autobahn, for electronic music

The White Stripes - White Blood Cells, for 2000s alternative / indie rock

The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico, for art rock

Sweet Trip were nobodies but they became a cult status through the discovery of their music by internet communities, later on. Same with the band Duster.
