Thinking hard here, trying to avoid the obvious ones, eg: Zeppelin.

Ok, pre 1990 - Prefab Sprout. Excellent songwriting from Paddy Macaloon, lovely harmonies, and interesting lyrics.

1990 onwards - Starsailor. Haven't heard their third album yet, but the first two are excellent. Wonderful vocals and atmospheres.

Pat Metheny

Although I think he is very much prog - but he's not on this site

he should at the very least be prog related

Ween and Radiohead are probably the most talented bands in existence right now whatever genre.

Broken up, I'd have to list the Smiths, the Pixies, the Beatles, the Doors, Nirvana, (though I hate listening to them, they sound like honest blokes but their songwriting is awful) and that's aboout it.

How about the Clash?  Better yet, (IMO) System Of A Down.  Hell, Hanson while I'm at it.

Pre 90's: The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad, Allman Brothers Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Black Sabbath.

Post 90's - no non-prog bands excite me all that much.

Pre '90: Santana, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Doors, Metallica, Iron Maiden

Post '90: That's a much more difficult one. I suppose some of Oasis' albums are not that bad if you take the hipe out of it. The Santana album "Supernatural" is great. Also some Metallica stuff isn't bad (except ofcourse St. Anger which is ). For the rest I suppose anything worthwile is in the prog catagory.

I never thought about this before, but PINK FLOYD sounds like Maddona mixed with Some Kenny G, plus a lot of Hip Hop influences, a little Gwen Stefani, some Rammstein, a bit of Paco de Lucia and another bit of Bill Clinton's sax sound.
