Ever since WordPress stepped up and claimed the place as #1 CMS and website-building software, a gigantic market has been created around it. And since Wordpress always has been all about an open market, thousands of web agencies, development teams and web design freelancers have dedicated their full time on creating Wordpress extensions. Wordpress theme design for example is today an independent industry with thousands of competitors and even more themes. And based on the personal experience of spending hours online searching for the right theme for my website(s), I have decided to listen to the Samaritan within me and publish an extensive list of, in my humble opinion, most innovative and design inspirational FREE Wordpress Themes.
Viewport Theme by Paul Bennett
Though strictly recommended by the author for the advanced user,Viewport theme was recently credited in one of Smashing Magazines listings, effectively categorizing it as an innovative yet simple FREE Wordpress theme. With a monstrous javascripted image slide, this theme definitely leaves a great impression and sense of unique web design.
ZinePress by WELLMEDICATED
For the same reason blogging has become so popular, Wordpress News/Magazine themes have in recent years turned out to be hot picks amongst Wordpress powered websites. People have an erge to communicate but also, now stronger than ever, have an erge to wash off the stamp as bloggers and dress their sites in more dynamic and feed-worthy designs. ZinePress is perhaps not the typical news/magazine wordpress theme, why I chose to include it. ZinePress reflects a mix of traditional blog and new magazine designs.
ColorPaper by DreamTemplate
A more colorful and sparkly wordpress theme, ColorPaper is a free wordpress theme with exceedingly unique web design. A personal look, for the personal blog, with attractive web design. ColorPaper has its own gravity, making it impossible for any visitor to pull away.
Humidor by Evan Eckard
Minimal web design elements for maximal content space. The bueaty of Hhumidor lies in the details. With a common simple, wordpress blog look, you'll find web design exellence in fonts, banner andf footer. Its simplicity make Humidor and worth mentioning free wordpress theme. Simple as that.

Just when I thought that there were no good templates out there, I find your post. Most WP themes are so spammy and ugly but I really like the four above.
