I have Deadwing + some extras. Porcupine Tree has to be the most underated band, they are magicians of the Coldplay meets Pink Floyd kind.

Porcupine Tree: My favorite band. Any other fans out there?

And those of you who dont know who they are, they are a mostly a prog band. They also have elements of metal experimental and techno in their music. CHECK THEM OUT.

They draw influence from Pink Floyd, Tool, Radiohead, The Beach Boys, and many others. If you like any of those bands you will like this one. Trust me.

If you are going to buy an album i suggest either In Abstentia or The Sky Moves Sideways.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome Band.

I love PT. They have such a unique spacey feel to their songs and beautiful harmonies. Steven Wilson is a genius and one of my favorite vocalists. In Absentia is probably my favorite album, followed closely by Deadwing and then Lightbulb Sun.

Trains has to be one of my favorite songs of all time.

JohnnyK · 12-08-2005, 02:02 PM

I knew Trains would be a classic the moment I heard it, such a beautiful song. It's one of my favorite on In Absentia.

I've been stuck on Lazarus lately. The lyrics are outstanding.

If I had a dollar for every time "I love Porcupine Tree" ran through my mind, I'd be a gazillionaire.

Amazing band, absolutely amazing.

I've just now gotten into porcupine tree......Amazing is the only word to say...i just learned Shallow on the guitar....really tight track

Merkaba · 02-17-2006, 07:10 PM

Les Paul, the whole of Deadwing, the album with Shallow, is insanely good. Check it out.

Steve Wilson is like my hero, an amazing writer and singer. The best thing since Floyd
