Suddenly, Porcupine Tree


I have always been a Beetles, Stones, Springsteen, Young etc fan. You could throw in Yes, ELO, Pretenders, Dead and many more. You get the idea. I bought a porcupine tree album a few yrs ago gave it a spin and that was that. Did not get it. Recently I gave it another spin. Now suddenly I own everything they have done and starting on solo stuff. My favorite but not limited to, "stupid dreams". I now can not get enough of this band. What happened. Did I just get older? Like a "lightbulb sun" going off in my head. If you do not know this band get to know them. Anything I am missing? Other favorite albums of Porcupine? Other bands similar experience with?

PT is cool - I enjoy them a lot. If you wanna hear more prog - check out Spock's Beard. Their latest album, Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep, is their best work ever, IMO. You'll love their stuff if you grew up listing to progressive rock music from the late 60's through the early 80's.
"Up the Downstair" a double album is a prog rockers dream album. Great heady band.
I'm shocked nobody has mentioned Steven Wilson's solo effort from last year The Raven That Refused To Sing....a modern Prog classic and the best thing he has ever done
I enjoy PT and some of Steve Wilson's solo stuff but to be honest on his solo work he borrows way to much from other prog classic bands.On his Grace for Drowning cd on the 2nd disc he rips off some of King Crimsons music from Lizard. It's bound to happen I guess.
