The Beatles
Jimi Hendrix
Kraftwerk
Aphex Twin
Eddie Van Halen
Public Enemy
list off the top of my head... also considered Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and Portishead, but they're not really up there with those 6 in terms of innovation.
also Elvis Presley... broke down all kinds of doors and kickstarted a load of trends but musically I wouldn't say he was that innovative. perhaps just in a 'performer' sense?
