Two examples that come to me immediately are Enya and Smashing Pumpkins. If music starts feeling stale, I can put on Enya and music feels new again. It's such a pleasant departure from the standard pop/rock/RnB etc sounds that dominate (even if I like those artists).

Anybody have their own equivalents?

No disrespect to the Pumpkins at all, but there are several bands of that time and place that are known to share a similar sound. Hum and Catherine off the top of my head. For any Pumpkins fan that hasn't heard of these yet, there's like another half dozen albums to enjoy.

Great point. Just because it's the first time we've heard a sound doesn't mean they're not standing on the shoulders of others a little/lot.
