For me it's Steven Wilson, Grace for Drowning (wonderfully recorded progressive rock, some portions mellow and beautiful, other parts are heavier) and also any number of albums by his former band Porcupine Tree, such as Fear of a Blank Planet, In Absentia, or Stupid Dream.
I've turned a few friends on to him but outside of that, I feel like I'm the only one who's ever heard of him.
