In reference to the math-rock post above, I'm pretty fond of Tera Melos, Minus the Bear and Volta Do Mar.
I haven't really been listening to much rock as of late with the exception of Sonic Youth but here are some I've listened to in the past quite a bit.
Dinosaur Jr. - Grunge with very mellow to upbeat vocals, depending on the album. Huge guitar emphasis.
Portugal. The Man - Since you've been listening to more hardcore/metal-esque vocals, they may not appeal to you much with their falsetto like vocals, but the prog-structured instrumentals are top notch on their first few albums. Their later ones are more pop oriented.
Pink Floyd - I'm surprised no one mentioned these guys. Sure, they're pretty overrated at times, but it's psychedelic at its best.
mewithoutYou - Post-hardcore mixed with prog elements and Christian lyrical influence. I'm not big on religion but I can't deny the talent these guys have.
Pavement - I haven't listened to these guys much, but I'm liking what I've heard. A veteran can probably describe their sound much better than I can, I don't want to give off any misconceptions on accident.
Future of the Left - Punk/Hardcore with humorous lyrics, really enjoy them.
HORSE the band - Post-Hardcore mixed with 8-bit influences and Nintendo references.
Sunset Rubdown - Prog with medieval themed lyrics, though I've been told that some find Spencer Krug, the lead vocalist annoying to listen to.
Wolf Parade - Another rock band led by Krug, if you don't like Sunset, best to avoid these guys as well.
Post-Rock/Instrumental stuff - Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, God is an Astronaut, This Will Destroy You, Russian Circles, 65daysofstatic, Tortoise
