I don't know, I don't think I know any musicians I know, or know of, are ever going to pull out something that is entirely original, or brilliantly innovative. The point is more that to be a musician, mostly, involves a suspension of the intellect. Like Drone says, it's more interesting to hear something sincere, or exciting, or in my case, big gay shiny fraudulent pop than it is to hear someone being 'clever' with their music.
