By “important” I mean that it didn’t just become hugely popular, but it also changed a music genre or launched an entirely new one, or otherwise made a huge impact on music in general.

Any specific era? I mean, I’m mostly into classical music and I would consider quite a few of those old pieces… hugely important, to say the least: much more meaningful than many of the more recent productions. But, even though I’ve a much more limited understanding of it, I also consider some more recent and even a few contemporary artists… hugely important ;)
Any era where music is released as part of albums, I guess.
