You may not agree but I think Radiohead is pretty damn unique.
As for ground coverage I would have to say the Notwist. They're from Germany and their first release in 1990 is like post-punk/hardcore but their singer maintains a calm voice in their heavy sound. I love them probaby as much as I love Radiohead. Their newer stuff is more electronic but still great. They use banjos and all sorts of stuff. Great great great.
BulletBob mentioned Primus. My former favorite band. Inspired me to play bass.
Mr. Bungle is quite unique.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Converge is unique.
Anyone ever heard of Manu Chao? He's definitely unique.
Although I'm not a big fan of him I think Bright Eyes could be considered unique. The other Saddle Creek bands are really good.
Calexico has a good sound, although maybe not unique they're still awesome.
Buckethead.
I think Thursday is pretty unique too. Even though I'm afraid they might get too big. I think the whole "emo-core" or anything associated with core or emo or melodic-core anything is just a gimmick. a lot of it is shit and most of the people that label their band that or what they listen to are unoriginal and should be put against the wall.
Faith No More.

That's all I can think of right now.
