I would add Toby Driver i.e. Maudlin/Kayo as one more.
 
Mars Volta was an obvious miss for me.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

You know, that's a really good question.  Of the top of my head there there really wasn't much that was innovative coming out.  Lots of artists did pass me by.  More than a few that I liked already weren't boldly going where no one had gone before.  The uhm short lived Ten Seconds?  Most of the new artists in my collection got started prior to 1990.  There  have been some arrivals in this decade that have impressed me, but I don't find them doing much that's is particularly original/unique.

Maybe I'm just getting too old.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The Gourishankar
Diablo Swing Orchestra
Porcupine Tree
Time of Orchids
King Crimson (yep, still continue to be original and unique)

I'd be struggling to name another 5...
