Some of what I hear musically that people say is new or different..is in essence a collection of familliar ideas...with simillar melodies/riffs and hooks..but just given a contemporary gloss and makeover...Have we run out of innovation, can anything claim to be original?

I believe innovative music is being made, but record companies will only back music that they know will make money, which is music that has a successful precedent.
Hopefully the internet will reveal original music as composers are given direct access to people who are willing to give time to experimental work

Yes to both, it's a question I keep asking myself but the truth is, it seems to be mainly in the dance & r'n'b scenes we keep recycling music. I remember doing a presentation on this subject or at least a small part. The list is forever growing with samples being used or simple cover versions created. Far too many. Rock music seems @ the moment the most creative form of music. When have u heared of a Rock band covering another Rock track or the other way around lately. Look at all the varients in Rock to decide if they re-cycle. Dance music has @ least 1/3 of it's music recycled. A lot seems 2 be the early 90's at the moment. If we want to go away from mainstream music look at your Classical music & new age. So, u could conclude that some artists are just lazy rather than lacking the talent to compose totally new music.
P.S. I could go on but that would take hours lol.
(12/8) P.P.S. The biggest culprits on recycling music has got 2 be the dance group Scooter but hands down, love them or lothe them, they've been around for a long while. Also, @ this moment in time the biggest recycled tune is the music from the old westerns. (Switch & Scooter r using it @ the moment)

We're recycling now. Anything with a melody will go out of the window soon with some sort of arty clanging/white noise nonsence selling records. Musicians aren't even admitting to 'sampling' now. That recent Kelly Osbourne record was almost a complete rip off of 'Fade to Grey' by 'Visage' and there's another one been released which is just an old tune with new words. This goes back ages to the 1978 Sugarhill Gang's 'Rapper's Delight (based on 'Good Times' by Chic')' which was then ripped off and mixed in with Queen/Bowie's 'Under Pressure' for 'Ice, Ice Baby' by Vanilla Ice.
'A Whiter Shade of Pale' Procol Harem - Air on a G String by Bach. 'Midnight' from 'Cats' (Andrew Lloyd Ugly) - Bolero by Ravel. Etc. etc. etc.

There are too many covers of classic songs, there is no talent anymore. It's just a get rich quick scheme now. Films are the same, why are they remaking films?

All things new are old again, shorly just by random action you would eventualy hit upon something that pregsisted. there are no truly random acts.
