Y'know, in all due honesty, I haven't heard a single band that I can be like "WHOA, that sounds a lot like X!"

I felt that way about Daft Punk for a spell, but then Justice came out along with a few other similar bands.  Not to say Daft Punk still isn't original, but there are other bands that could be put on a compilation along with them.

I know tons of power metal bands- Avantasia, Freedom Call, Hammerfall, Kamelot, even Galneryus which is Japanese- and they have a same kind of idea but not a similar sound.  Then you have bands that have done covers of X - Dragonland, Anorexia Nervosa, Lord, Shaman- and they don't sound like X on their off time...

So there are bands that have high vocals, driving drums, piano/orchestra segments, amazing guitars and solos, and bass that makes Les Claypool take notice, but none that I'm like "Wow, that sounds like X-Japan".

Any thoughts?
