Smashing Pumpkins.
Hands down. Look at what we got from them in the ten years of their existence:
Gish - 1991
Siamese Dream - 1993
Pisces Iscariot - 1994
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - 1995
Adore - 1998
Machina/The Machines of God - 2000
Machina 2/Friends and Enemies of Modern Music (unreleased. Well, except for 25 copies )
Greatest Hits w/ Judas O - 2001
Every album is different from the one before and gives its listeners something new and exciting. Their music is both dark and uplifting, and both angry and calm. Unbelievable. They still blow me away everytime I rediscover an older album or a bside long since listened too.
I am not going to sit here and review each album, because frankly I suck at it. You will either agree with me that YES, Smashing Pumpkins were indeed the most innovative band of the 90's or you won't. If you disagree, I want to hear why, and who you feel deserves the honour, and if you say Radiohead, make your argument long and detailed.

And for fun: Which Smashing Pumpkins album are you? http://www.pumpkinheads.net/test2/
You are The Smashing Pumpkins album Gish!
t go around expressing your opinions to others,
and it's not like they mind it either. It doesn't matter to
you though. Who needs them. You've got your red pearls.
Oh shit, that blond-haired chick went and glued them to a
piece of cardboard that is supposed to eventually be your
album cover. Aww man, what's next? Is someone gonna
have to play her instrument too?
