Any modern rock recommendations?

Some great suggestions here, I concur on Tool, Porcupine Tree, Nothing but Thieves and band maid.

since you like Steely Dan, my favorite artist honestly try Monkey House. 
also Garbage just released a new album, it’s awesome.

don’t forget linkin park and Evanescence.

the track Lonely is the Muse by Halsey really rocks  

Queensryche - Della Brown       (a very underrated rock/metal vocalist)

Pearljam - Indifference

Blackfield - The hole in me

Generally, any band Steven Wilson is involved in....solo albums, porcupine tree, blackfield, no-man, etc will have high quality recordings, the likes of which didn't quite work out in the 60s, 70s and 80s.

Red hot chilli peppers - Give it away   (this was a funky piece when it first came out, won a grammy, i suppose)

@bigtwin,  my sentiments exactly!

Everyone else, thanks.  I've got a lot of music to check out.  I'll report back later.

Dream theater-they are on their 40th year making music

Tool

Joe Satriani

I discovered Cats in Space a while back. They are quite good if you like Styx and similar music.
