Bands... I need suggestions. Read inside before posting, though :)?

Question

Just, anything. I'm really into progressive rock and metal, but I'm kind of tired of angry, driven music. My favorite band is Led Zeppelin (even though I really don't like a lot of classic rock), and I really like Pearl Jam's style, as well as some Pink Floyd and Dream Theater...

Please note that I really don't like bands like Fall Out Boy or All-American Rejects, I know they're considered rock, but it's too... well, all those bands sound the same o_0 I've tried listening to them before and I just didn't care for them.

I'm not really into screamo, country, pop, hair metal (all the 80s distortion is a little much), or rap/hip-hop, but I like jazz and electronica/techno. Any singer-songwriters that are great would also be helpful.

If you have any rock or metal suggestions, I'll take those as well :) Please and thanks, guys. I'll take a look at all suggestions.

Check out Mars Volta if you haven't already Deloused is their best album in my opinion They remind me of a modern Led Zeppelin and have awesome concept albums. 
As far as jazz- I'd suggest Nina Simone for the vocal jazz and you can't go wrong with Miles Davis for the instrumental stuff. 
As far as electronica goes I'd suggest-   Future sound of London , Orbital, or LTJ Bukem.

metal music:
"Dragon Force" - check out song "through the fire and the flames" - these guys are fast, but not really hate driven.
"Tenacious D" - folk metal, jack black's band. It's actually pretty good.
