i like GRUNY
The last design I worked on had an interesting background which, at first was a tough one to code, but now I have it working and can use that technique from now on.
Great list of inspiration, thanks!
Thinkgeek.com also uses an awesome technique in using multiple backgrounds, it took me a while to figure how they did it, but it turned to be as simple as layers!.. that is a really inspiring post, thank you =)
Interesting backgrounds; wonder how long they take to load and how they are on mobile.
