The Yardbirds may have beaten the Beatles to the punch, and Brian Williams get's into the mix with Pet Sounds. Check an interesting essay at: http://allmusic.com/cg/x.dll?p=amg&sql=J244 At the forefront of jazz at the same time was Coltrane and Davis, and early avant garde innovators like Ornette Coleman.
