Depends on what genres you want to explore, or if there's any restriction there. Jazz? Progressive rock? Metal? Punk? Emo? New Wave? Classical? Blues? There are literally so many genres and within those sub-genres out there that people here could recommend you anything, but it's better to know where your tastes lie, or where you wish to go.
For keyboard-centric music with deep lyrics and usually quite long songs, a lot of demonstration of technical and musical skill, prog rock is a good place to start (Genesis, Marillion, Rush, ELP, Yes, Spock's Beard, IQ and so on). For upbeat dance music, it could be electronica, new wave etc (not that familiar with that sort of music but someone here will be). Metal of course is more powerful, heavy, often angry music that makes your heart start pumping and may have you eyeing leather metal-studded wristbands and think of growing your hair (if you can) --- Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Saxon, Scorpions, Metallica, all that lot.
I guess it depends on what sort of area you want to explore, so maybe you could let us know if you have looked at any other genres, or what ones you would be interested in? Perhaps also check out the "recommendations" threads on metal, prog rock and so on in the forum; you may get some good ideas there. And join some threads which are discussing music you might be interested in. Talk to people, see where you want to go.
There's no point in my posting videos because you may already know (and hate) these artistes, but if you'd like an idea of prog rock or metal let me know. Or indeed, classical.
