Tool - They have an extremely unique sound. Maynard James Keenan is a great lyricist and an even better singer. Adam Jones isn't very technical but writes riffs that fit the music perfectly.
Porcupine Tree - If I had to pick out who I thought most related to a modern day Pink Floyd, than PT would be it. Steven Wilson is an amazing singer and songwriter. His voice sort of lulls you into space in a Gilmour-esque fashion. They are a very diverse band and one that I think will be remembered a long way down the road.
