I don't think there's actually much you can do these days that is *truly* innovative. After all, even the "innovative" music of the 1966-67 Beatles got some of their ideas from Indian classical music (which had been around for hundreds of years), as well as avant-garde classical music such as Stockhausen, which had been around since at least the 50's, and some as far back as the 20's.
So when I think someone says "innovative" they probably really mean "out of the ordinary" even if it's something that's been done before.
