The one band that comes to my mind as totally chaning what I listened to, then and now...
Judas Priest. My brother gave me a couple of their albums because he didn't like them, and I played and played and played until my ears bleed. That opened up the "heavy metal" door for me.
Next would be Zep. As I listened to them, I became more and more in love with their style, and their music.
Finally... The Ramones. I had heard some of their stuff, but until I really listened to it, I wasn't a huge fan. In 1989, my friend played Mania over and over, and I went out and bought everything I could after that.
