Porcupine Tree is one of the most inventive bands around today, but they certainty won't resonate with everyone. As SgtMeowenstein put it, "it's all a matter of opinion," with which I agree.

I will also mention that you have to really pay attention to Porcupine Tree's albums or they will pass you by. Many of their musical intricacies are very subtle, and if you don't really pay attention, you will miss the best parts of their music. Many people claim that PT are boring, but I think many of those people aren't hearing the the subtle musical intricacies, to which I'm referring. Steven Wilson is the band leader and song writer, and he just released a great solo album ("Grace for Drowning") Here's "Raider II" from that album, which is a 24-minute track that is very reminiscent of King Crimson "Lizard" era.
