i would say a way of judging the amount of innovation is your reaction to the particular music you are listing to and the reaction of everyone else listeing to it too. The more people surprised or interested in what seems to them to be a new groove, the more innovative no?
you'd be suprised. I think techno as a whole is one of the best examples where 99% of the time, those who are being truely innovative get overlooked for the most popular artist at the time
