Most Innovative Musicians
This is just a fun thread that I thought would be interesting to start. So, add a few musicians that you find innovative. Here are a few that I find innovative:
Jimi Hendrix The Velvet Underground The Beatles The Residents A Whisper in the Noise Xiu Xiu John Cage The Flaming Lips Pink Floyd The Fugs The Monks The United States of America Sonic Youth Television |
Karlheinz Stockhausen = thread.
While his work was incredibly dense and still is, those who at least semi-penetrated his offerings went on to do great things, and took the electronic music movement to a whole new level. |
Adding to the list:
Edgard Varese Bruce Haack Harry Partch Zappa Sun Ra John Zorn Boredoms(and Hanatarash for that matter) Faust Negativland AMM |
Don Caballero (the original math rock band)
Kayo Dot (and all related groups. Especially Toby's solo project) Zs (NOISE JAZZ!) Extra Life (avant-rock band that focuses on the rock more than the avant.) Aphex Twin (NOBODY CAN ARGUE WITH THIS.) Autechre (listen to V-Proc. If you can't see how well the intelligent-hip-hop-glitch thing works here, I'm going to personally come to your house and lecture you.) |

David Bowie should be one of the front runners on this one.

I don't necessarily agree with him, I just thought it was interesting... |
...which reminds me that I need to get into Stockhausen. Any help here?

Can. Way ahead of their time.

I myself, find John Cage's bio more interesting than Edgard Varese, Cage was a composer, philosopher, poet, music theorist, artist, printmaker, ... The era of David Bowie is modern, when compared with the era of Varses and Cage. |
Rush (surprised no one has mentioned them)
Tool Devin Townsend Korn Black Sabbath |

Miles Davis and Tom Waits.
They are the tip of the iceberg that I'm too lazy to uncover. |

The drums on Faust I equal Future Days in terms of awesomeness at some points.
Albeit not all of the time, but still. |
