Tool has influenced some of the hard rock acts that are around today... notably Chevelle and 10 years....
Incubus has been one of the bands that are always slightly different than everything else... Kind of a spin off of RHCP.
I'm not a huge Radiohead fan... and I don't know too much about htem...

You're right, none of them changed history. I'm not a big Radiohead fan either, however, their song "Street Spirit" is incredible. It creates all of the elements and emotion that music can generate with a guitar. It crosses over many musical tastes, which is difficult to achieve in songwriting. One of my favorites for sure.
What about Joe Satriani, Steve Vai or Yngvie?
Garth Brooks?
