I think there are many bands that might not be regarded as "the best" but they sure can be mentioned as "super influental"

Meaning for example:

Iggy Pop and the Stooges - now that was such a rough detroit punk rock, they could kick the Sex Pistols ass anytime and started in 1969

Black Sabbath - never gets old and they had the most moribund and vicious sound that ever hit the post hippie era, they killed it and never failed to influence the heavy metal movement to come in the late 70's

Velvet Underground - if you want to call something avantgarde, but not dissolved in "symbolism" and pose, you should check Velvet - they started in 1966 and were probably the most original band out there, needles to mention writing about stuff like drugs was still not yet in vogue

Vanilla Fudge - some of the most instrumentally gifted formations of the 60's, started in 1965, with Carmine Appice on drums a serious influence on such superbands that will turn up later on as Deep Purple for example
