I'd say My Morning Jacket. They could have easily keep churning out spacey southern rock tunes, but they've really expanded their horizons with these last couple of albums.Skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money.0

Tool pushes musical boundaries? How? How does making essentially the same song and same album over and over push any boundaries?
The Mars Volta and Radiohead I would agree with. Arcade Fire certainly does. Thrice has begun to.It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.0 -
I don't really think there are musical boundaries anymore. There's a niche for every market and I can't really think of a single taboo in music other than contraversial topics. Bands may do some strange/new things but I wouldn't say they're making the unacceptable acceptable.[/pedant]Paul

The bands pushing the musical boundaries aren't the ones you'd expect (ie, anyone connected to the so-called post-rock genre). That pretentiously named band that's something to do with liking trains is a case in point. They're to Godspeed!, etc, what an artist such as Tracey Emin is to Marcel Duchamp: a tenth-generation, washed out, state-approved, formulaic mockery of what was once a great idea.
However, THE HUB always seems to make music that isn't only sonically experimental but loaded with a kind of social relevance you can't bullshit:

Meshuggah, with out a doubt. Try listening to that and tell me they aren't in a class of thier own.

Battles is tame. As a matter of fact a lot of Don Caballero/other post rock and math rock fans think they're too poppy. Too commercial. And to be honest when you compare them to their former projects and contemporaries they are really poppy.
Ruins & Koenjihyakkei - Math rock/Zeuhl. Now Koenji, there's a band you'll hateCome on pilgrim you know he loves you..
