I probably don't listen to as much new music as you guys do, but in the last few years I like what Deerhoof has been doing. I don't know that they're pushing things forward, because I hear a lot of early 70s and late 60s in there, but they still sound fresh and unique to me.
I agree a lot with DeadDildoDisco a lot though. A lot of what interests me in music isn't how innovative it is, but purely the composition. Usually when we're talking about innovative bands from the past, they generally had excellent compositional skills.
