Microphones/Mt. Eerie

But if all I care about it how original music is, fuck, I'll go listen to my dishwasher. Except that's probably totally been done already.

Definitely. Add Led Zeppelin to that list. Originality comes from the last 2% that you add to the other 98% that everyone already knows how to do.

Slint was totally original. Until Slint, nobody thought to turn down the vocalist.

Ramones, totally original. Until the Ramones, nobody thought to have a guitar player who never played leads.

I think Can was original. They might have been mentioned, but now that I'm typing this, I don't want to go back and look.

Al Gore? He invented the internet, not original art.

Slint - "Spiderland".

And I can't recall anything since, other than Earth, but I don't like them.
