Who do you think was the last truly groundbreaking artist? It's been awhile.Everything's so formulaic now. Has there even been one this Millenium? "Don't hate the Black, don't hate the White. If you get bitten, just hate the bite." | |

Groundbreaking in what sense? Musically? Stylewise? Do these artists have to be POPULAR to be classified as groundbreaking?

I'd answer those questions as yes, yes, and obviously no. It's hard for me to say because I am not a particularly well-rounded authority on music, and most of the stuff I've found truly creative recently is old jazz. However, a few artists have released groundbreaking work. Beck is one. Me'shell I believe is another. There have been some artists who have put out some good stuff recently. I can hardly tell the difference in rock anymore, because everyone sounds like a Nirvana/Pearl Jam clone to me. We're in a new era of arena schlock rock, with some exceptions. On the jazz/Nu Jazz tip, Roy Hargrove, Jazzanova, and Zero 7 are a few artists/acts that come to mind. But I also think that Digable Planets' "Blowout Comb" is a groundbreaking masterpiece that has yet to be matched by any hip-hop artist since. Props will be withheld until the showing and proving has commenced. -- Aaron McGruder | |

I can only use my definition of groundbreaking and that's someone that comes with a new style (or new mixture of styles) that others follow. With that said the last one I can think of is Teddy Riley in the late 80's. If more rappers move away from basic rappin and hip hop by the numbers, you might be able to put Andre 3000 on the list. We'll have to wait another couple of years to find out. Reunion Radio Podcast - 4 Decades of R&B

Yep. He took Country, fused it with Pop/Rock and made it the super commercial beast it is today. Plus his shows were VERY good, akin to the Lovesexy tour that Prince took overseas.

Musically, the LAST I discovered was Ra. They do this "Egyptian Rock" thing that in my opinion is different from what other American artists have done. (Keyboard sitars and finger cymbals don't count in my book) I guess lately Outkast have to be called groundbreaking for their departure from "standard" rap/hip-hop. "Groundbreaking" is a very loose term unless its specifically defined. I don't think something "good" has to be different. I have heard artists that were different, but not good. I'll take GOOD every time over different I agree. Good is good. With that said, I think that the Flaming Lips' 'Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots' was very good.  | |

Bjork, no question. Beck is cool too, but go buy Inside Bjork, the dvd for $10 and you'll see. | |

I would say Missy Elliott when she first came on the scene. Her and Timbaland's beats were so different from everyone else's and then when she came on the scene with her debut album. It was definitely groundbreaking music...although I can't say the same for her now. | |

I agree, with one more official album by him, it would have been more self evident to the world.. he was an amazing talent that had so much going for him.. and an inspiration guitar player, he was hitting notes people dont normally hit.. he was the truely inspirational artist of the 90's.. soulful, and his songs had meaning.. -X- WATCHING THE PENNIES SCATTER |

Co-sign to the both of you. The world had lost a genius that was Jeff Buckley. Then there is Beck, and Outkast, Eminem(you may not like his controversy, but what about his lyrical skills?), Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers(even if they lost the funk), and The Dismemberment Plan.
