radiohead's recent stuff (kid a, amnesiac) is pretty original. Also, Sigur Ros (Icelandic group, just kids really) is non-derivative. That's just as far as rock goes, which I think is what you're asking. But if you get into more experimental stuff... try Bernard Gunther or Kim Cascone - I guarantee you've never heard anything like their work.
What music is not derivative?
I was just reading up on some older posts about peoples opinions of some new bands. There are often times people complaining about music being so derivative and unoriginal. My question is what music released in the post Beatles era has been truly original?
I have a few ideas in mind, but will let y'all have the first shot at it.
