You couldn't be more wrong.
I don't see at all how Porcupine Tree are not being adventurous or original, I mean they have some stuff that can be rather radio friendly, but they have a pretty great and unique sound though they do get compared to Floyd a lot (which annoys the hell out of Steven Wilson). They mix it up with a lot of different styles and genres, everything from metal to psychedelic. So yeah, don't be dissing Porcupine Tree.
If theres any band you should criticize for being unoriginal it should probably be The Flower Kings, who sound an awful lot like King Crimson and Yes, but they are still good.
You do need to accept though that there still is prog out there thats pushing music in another direction, especially the really avant garde stuff. Sure there are a lot of bands who have a more retro sound and are basically just taking every que from their prog forefathers, but a lot of these bands are still amazingly talented and original or not its a sound I love anyway.
