Radiohead, no contest. The other two have their moments, but I'm not a big fan of them overall.

Almost anything is not alternative/indie infuse prog, younger bands had this type of so called prog in their DNA, because of to much exposure to this music
The rest who try to emulate the old school type of prog are winners for me

I think on "alternativearchives" (if such a thing exists)or some other more mainstream rock website Radiohead or Muse would win but not here. ;)

The thing is when I first really caught on to Muse in 2008 I listened to "Origin of Symmetry" first and it blew me away. Still does. To me that is truly "progressive" in the genre of alt-rock. "Citizen Erased" is progressive rock and amazing when you consider the age of Bellamy when he wrote it. "Absolution" continued to be "progressive" to my ears with some pop sneaking in(Time is Running Out). "Black Holes & Revelations" continued to have progressive rock elements but with more pop songs. "Take a Bow", "Hoodoo" and "Knights of Cydonia" are top notch. I feel the last gasp of Muse being a progressive band was the Exogenesis Symphony in 2009. The rest of that album was pure garbage.

Radiohead is the band with the weird singer right.....Like a bad acid trip or something? 
Not like this is a contest of any sort.

I never got into Muse, I love both Radiohead and PT. Although chances are that I'd probably like a randomly chosen PT song more than one of Radiohead, I think Radiohead were more innovative and refreshing, trying out something really new between OK Computer and "Thief", so they get my vote.
I don't mind whether they're prog or not, they're great!

Such diversity. Muse are fine, Porcupine Tree are monumental with a pantheon of first class albums (but not Th Incident, sorry) and you'd have to pay me a lot of money to force me to sit through Radiohead ever again.
Re: the post with Radiohead distancing themselves from prog rock. I recall these interviews. Prog was well out of fashion and the associations were culturally negative still. Yorke wanted Radiohead to be more associated with alt rock than prog which is fine by me. I really wonder what makes this band a prog rock band. I'd rather wade through VDGG (I like some moments, probably instrumental) and The Beatles' country music (Help).
Of course now Prog is a now new hit fashion and cool groovy trend then the band wagon is well loaded. Elsewhere (Facebook) I've noticed many a once pro-denying person emerge from the wardrobe talking "prog tastic" terms. Fair weather fans...
Now if P Tree were in a poll with Riverside and Indukti then my choices would demand an all of the above option.

It's close between the three. I'd say Porcupine Tree probably, although my favorite album of any of the 3 bands is "OK Computer".

I can't stand Thom Yorke, so Radiohead can suck a bag of dicks.
Muse was good from 2001-2007. Downhill ever since. |
Yep, my feelings about Radiohead exactly. But I think Muse have still been pretty good from 2007 - now.
