In the late 1970's Chrome was about 15 years ahead of their time. Sort of like Beck crossed with Ministry! (Only better than that sounds!)
Gong's "You" (1974) sounds a lot like The Orb or somesuch (another one 15-20 years ahead.)
Silberbart's "4 Times Sound Razing" sounds more like Sonic Youth than any other pre-Sonic Youth band I've ever come across. And that was about 10 years before the 1st SY record (not that the first SY EP sounds anything like Silberbart.)
Eno "Music For Airports" -- sounds like the future anyway!
(Agreed on a lot of other people's nominations too -- esp. NEU!)
