They're incredibily pretentious, and probably consider themselves above classification,   

It was even more cool in the 90's to distsnce yourself from prog than it is now. Radiohead were at a pivotal point in their their career when they did OK Computer. The last thing they wanted was for the music press to start making comparisons to prog rock.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Great joke !

Not a fan of all three, but PT at least have few good prog rock albums. Radiohead are hardly prog, but some their releases are interesting as well. Muse was interesting MTV heavy wing's hero, anyway they are better than Nickelback .

No, not at all. If I didn't think they were all incredibly good, I wouldn't have made a poll comparing them. I will agree that Radiohead is not prog in the strictest sense but they're pretty experimental. Oh and Muse is better than most bands out there including, obviously, Nickelback.

3 of my favourite bands of the last 10 years
 
Of all the albums released I would take Muse - Absolution and Radiohead - Kid A over anything that Porcupine Tree have done. However if you take the whole catologue of releases then Porcupine Tree by a long margin over Radiohead with Muse a distant third.
(voted PT)

Something weird, checked this thread and people who know me must be aware I would vote for none of the three.

Nevertheless, appears as if I had voted.

My thoughts exactly. MUSE just doesn't do it for me for some reason.I like RADIOHEAD a lot but PT is a top three band for me,so no contest.

My wife likes Muse, but I haven't really gotten into them. I am probably one of three people not to have heard Radiohead. I do have some PT. Perhaps I'll have to borrow one of my wife's Muse CD's.

I would love to vote for Radiohead if I could, haha. Actually PT and Radiohead are on about equal level for me. Don't care very much for Muse.

Replace the "All equally" option?

Anyway, Radiohead would get my vote. The others haven't released anything as good as OK Computer or Kid A.
