What was the Fosbury flop of music? (discuss.tchncs.de)

When athletic height jumping was considered done and perfected, there was the Fosbury flop which opened new possibilities. Do you think there was such a moment in the music history? When someone showed how things can be done and from there everyone is using his/her technique?

So many great examples in this thread already, so I'm going to go with a simpler one: Guitar overdrive. intentionally increasing the gain beyond max input level of the amplifier to produce a more square wave tone would've seemed sacrilege to guitarists from the 30's and 40's.
And today it's the foundation of so many guitar sounds and music genres.
