I agree completely with Dream Theater, Evergrey, and In Flames. All excellent choices.
I'm gonna throw out some good solid melodic hard rock/metal (no dark Swedish stuff here)....
Iron Maiden. Many of their songs have some amazing harmonies and melodies
Racer-X. Insane solos + nice chops.
Queensryche. I might be reaching a little on this one, but here's another vote for a progressive metal band.
Sinergy. Melodic metal with a female singer
