I second these and Petrucci.

I would say Claypool too, but Primus just bores me for some reason. I can appreciate his talent, but it just doesn't do it for me.

Inlander:
Mike Scott.

And more recently, John Darnielle, Stephin Merritt, and Darren Hanlon.

And also Billy Bragg.

Storm Rider:

+ Bruce Dickinson (Best maiden tracks, plus solo stuff is great. Needs instrumentalists to work with of course)
+Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, Blackmore's Night. The dude wrote Smoke on the Water ffs)

Dickinson's solo stuff is great. Tyranny of Souls is not as good as Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding, I think, but still a solid metal album.

If I recall correctly, Smith had a pretty good hand at songwriting as well. I know he wrote Two Minutes to Midnight, which is one of my alltime favorite Maiden songs.

And does Blackmore count as post-1980? If not, then I'll second him.
