I'm 19 and I'm gonna have to say Dream Theater. They got me interested in prog in the first place. A lot of Pink Floyd's music I find boring and pretentious because it seems to drag on and on. I realize DT has some incredibly drawn out solo sections but personally I'd rather hear Rudess and Petrucci showing off than ambient soundscapes. James Labrie's voice and the band's recent sell out trend aside, DT wins it for me.
