I can't speak for 1901 to 1959 with ANY authority but....
.... we're not necessarily talking all-out favourite bands here so looking at the 1960 onwards, if asked about "original" bands, I think I would have to mention Kraftwerk.
And which was the first psychedelic band? First heavy rock? First punk etc. etc.?

I don't see how there's any way to name one specific "most original band" out of 100+ years of music. The 20th century saw so many different popular music styles - big band, jazz, blues, country, r&b, rock, hip hop...just to name a few...that cannot even rightly be compared to one another. The two "serious" answers in this thread - Radiohead and Cake(?) - deftly illustrate this point. Winger was the perfect answer, Three Day Delay, although I've gotta admit, I'm partial to Cinderella.

The 1900s-present? You've got to be kidding. Still if I had to pin one down I'd have to go with my old standby....
The Beatles. Almost everything else we listen to these days comes from them somehow.
Seriously - Radiohead? I like them, but come on - they've hardly been pioneers of the art form. Everything they did was done before somehow.

I'll go with the obvious answer: The Originals (later known as The New Originals and other names before eventually settling on Spinal Tap)
