Marillion, The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd...YES! YES! YES! All excellent. Marillions finest hour was their live 'La Gazza Ladra' for my 2 cents. I saw TMV twice this year in Paris and Manchester. Stunning three hours of pure beautiful musical virtuosity and excess. Porcupine Tree are solid but not as arsekicking as some of the others above.
Opeth, Tool, both excellent metal. Dream Theater is far too twee for my liking. Saw Tool live once - bit ordinary - definitely a studio band. Will be seeing Opeth for the first time in November but their live album is excellent.
Pink Floyd are the single greatest band in history. FUCK The Beatles.
Honorable mention to Rush, Yes. ELP is boring self-indulgent twaddle.
If ya like it noodly though, try Krautrock. Can, Faust, Popol Vuh to name but a few.
