I believe that while Trout Mask Replica has done more for avant-garde music, it's hard to deny that The Velvet Underground and Nico expanded the avant-garde community. Most avant-gardists that I know have been drawn into the genre through Frank Zappa, free jazz, and/or The Velvet Underground and Nico (along with their other records, of course).
