Early Sabbath for giving birth to "heavy music" and early Judas Priest for giving birth to the heavy metal sound. Sabbath & Priest are definitely the founding fathers of metal.

Rainbow: Rising

This one defined the genre. Classical and Middle East sounds (e.g Stargazer) and Tolkien and Dungeons & Dragons influenced lyrics. Furtermore Ronnie James Dio is absolutely the greatest voice in metal.
