I think this young Austin, TX based band is going to make it big one day! They recently featured Mark Zonder on drums!

This is an interesting topic. DT were the band of the 90s (where their most acclaimed work among prog aficionados was made) and Porcupine Tree were the band of the 00s. Based on the decade so far, it feels like Haken are the band to follow this line for the 2010s decade. But, unlike the previous two, Haken's impact has come straight off the bat, entirely in this decade.

Straight off the bat is perhaps reaching a bit methinks. Haken are where they are largely because of Dream Theater paving the way. The similarities between the two are pretty obvious to these ears.

I don't think any of the contemporary bands will make history, the only ones I think could be linked are Radiohead, Sigur Ros & Muse but all are peripherally prog and have probably been around too long to be called contemporary. It would be great to see bands like Bent Knee or Knifeworld who have wonky pop sensibilities get broad popularity but personally I can't see anyone in the high turnover diverse multi-media recreational world we live in these days.
