Oh, also, this one's pretty obvious, but I think Xiu Xiu are actually really innovative, as are artists that work in a similiar field (Autistic Daughters for example). You can connect them to pop music, electronic music, classical music, etc... but they kinda... I dunno. It's something very different. I'm not even a big Xiu Xiu fan but I hadn't heard anything like them when they came out, certainly. Also, has anyone mentioned Spiderland by Slint yet? That didn't sound like anyone else.
Just looking through my cd's now, I can name about 100 bands I consider extremely "innovative"... innovation is everywhere man but certainly, the artists I consider TRULY innovative.. Throbbing Gristle, Captain Beefheart, Harry Partch, Einsturzende Neubauten, The Residents, Suicide, etc... they already all happened, and I think they all took a lot of the music most of us listen to pretty logical extremes. So, I dunno.
