Porcupine Tree without doubt. Probably one of my favourite bands of all time.

Porcupine Tree.

I'm going to be stereotypical and say......

Battles

god, I'm predictable. I would have voted for Kayo Dot or TMV but you can only pick one, and Battles got me into post-rock, so I owe quite a bit to them.

And I'm never going to vote Muse because they have these boring, generic tendencies, and the song they did for twilight made me frown the entire time it was on the radio at school. I don't know why, but Muse just has no appeal to me whatsoever, and I'm a big prog fan

Muse.

Ironic, considering my previous adoration for that band. Thanks : )

Voted Porcupine Tree, but I'm way into quite a few of the bands listed, actually. Ozric Tentacles, Muse, and Tool are some of my favorites.

I went with Kayo Dot. Of their discography, I can say that at least two of their albums (their debut Choirs of the Eye and their latest Coyote) are personal favorites, and while the other two aren't quite as enticing, they still have very intriguing moments that give them more than enough merit (well Blue Lambency Downward is rather weak, but whatever). Their avant-garde tendencies, as well as the big size of their instrumentation make the music so much more rewarding. The fact that they contain so many spoken word portions and random spasms of ambiance may make some think they're one of those 'pretentious art crowd bands', but underneath that lie some of the most intriguing and structured pieces of avant-garde/prog rock that I've seen in a long time.

Just out of curiosity, have any of you heard about the new Watchtower album coming out? They aren't exactly new blood, but it's been a while since any material from them has been released.
