Is Pop Music Innovative Or Good Anymore?

Hmmm. My memory isn't so great then. The only thing I remember spoken is the Dune reference. 

i think the question is phrased badly the real question should be: is the innovative approach to music can be popular? and answer for that question is big, tasteless "no" the innovative musical approach and pop sesibilities has merged somehow from the late 60's to late 70's there was a big experimentalism floating around, every band was eager to experiment with new musical forms, techniques, electronics and other stuff actually that was the road that popular music take and i mean i'm not offering some deterministic approach here but that was something that happened in the way of improvement of the music(improvement can be good or bad in this case that "improvement" will cause the worst kind of disfiguration of music...ever!!) i think that peter gabriel recalls that era(in some documentary i think) as a "age of childhood" and that was a very right definition of what was going on around that time it was pure experiment and discovery for both fans and the musicians that was the main reason why that experimentalism finds mainstream attention but right now music endustry having a different kind of direction and changing as well so no we can't expect innovative works from popular music but it can produce some good music there is no doubt about that.

ps. i use the term "pop" not as a singular musical genre but as a whole idea of mainstream music both rock and the all the other crappy music out there.
