Dream Theater Vs. Porcupine Tree

   Chalk and cheese.
Anyway, I voted PT as I like their music, particularly the earlier stuff. Not keen on DT's music, though. Each to his/her own.

	To break the tie...I like both but prefer PT. So 25-24 for PT now, pretty tight.

	Dream Theater. Period. PT is just beginning a new era, they weren't exactly prog at the beginning.
	Progressive music, a kind of life.

	While I've listen to DT for years and PC for a year, I still prefer DT, mostly for the guitar work.

	So what exactly is the question and what are we voting on?? Is the question, who is the better band, what band has the better musicians, what band is easier to listen to, who is your favorite band????? What is Gods name is the Question??? With those questions asked, I must withhold my vote until the question is clarified. I agree with a previous poster who said this is absurd.

	Besides the fact that Porcupine Tree is NOT prog metal, the only other thing I would like to state is that my vote goes to PT
	Interested in my reviews? You can find them HERE "...He will search until He's found a Way to take the Days..."

	Dream Theater are very good but PT just have the edge in pure listening enjoyment. I don't think bands have to be in the same genre to qualify for a poll.

	I really like PT. Not such a big DT fan. Its very close at the mo, I would have expected DT to be running away with this though........

	Dream Theater OF COURSE! Amazing Group with talents. They are able to stand out in their own individual instruments while playing it as a whole... Mood is perfect for me... lol.. Preference i would say... Z'

	First, can not compare apples with grapes, then it's hard to give an objective opinion. A prog metal band v/s a Psychodelic one. But, I think PT is the greatest band nowadays, they are a bunch of creative and great musicians. Steve Wilson has become a kind of modern Roger Waters. Every PT album offers something different. DT....really dislike them. One of the worst and overrated bands around IMO. Couple of good musicians though. No comparison, the greatest actual band (PT) v/s one of the most overrated and terrible bands ever (DT)

	Strange comparision, I agree. DT and its members know how to jerk off the instruments, technically, while I find a lot more depth and thought behind Steven Wilsoin's arragements. It's common to fans of DT that they also listen to PT and vice versa - still, they shouldn't be compared musically really.
