I often find them too self indulgent or bland.

Can anybody suggest some bands (new or old, but they must be good!) that I'd like? Thanks in advance.
You should try Pain of Salvation as well!
They are one of my favorite in terms of modern prog.
Also, give Evergrey & Anathema a go. More or less similar to the bands you have mentioned.
Other than that, the ones above are top recs.
