Then give PT a spin. Deadwing might have made you think they are prog-metal, so check out their back catalogue, you won't regret it.

They abandoned PA due to the incessant bashing their favorite band gets...
 
 
I can't say I'll miss them... although they were a great target whenever I needed a scapegoat for all that is wrong with prog.LOL

PT music is more interesting, and SW is a much better singer. I do have to admit, that DT's drummer is amazing.

Absolutely no contest. One of the easiest polls I have ever seen.
 
Porcupine Tree are one of the best bands around these days.

Even though PT is a great band, even though I like it a lot (own all studio albums +metanoia +voyage34), I really don't see it as a history-changing band in the history of prog.... you can say whatever you like, you can hate them as much as you want, but for prog-metal at least (and, sorry, for all prog) there is a before Images and Words and after Images and Words... Anyway, as this is a poll of favoritism, of course I'll go with The Dream. I hate this polls that seem to imply the idea that both bands are exclusive or something, at least many posts give that idea....

The earlier Porcupine Tree isn't really Prog Metal. I wouldn't really define PT as Prog Metal but I believe they play a major role in the future of Prog.

I feel as if I've forsaken Dream Theater but I've gotta give it to Porcupine Tree. Porcupinee Tree make better music but Dream Theater were better live.

A couple of observations:

1) Wow, PT is kicking @$$ in this poll! I'm glad, because they're my choice too.
2) To the people who said that you can't really compare these two bands, I don't understand your point of view at all:

They have many similarities, so many it's almost a little eerie. They were both very important bands in the early times of the modern prog resurgence, and started releasing material in the same exact year (1989). Both of them produce a good deal of music that fits under the "prog-metal" label, yet both have strong "non-metal prog" qualities as well. Both have released about 8 studio albums and various other albums, live and otherwise, as well as live DVD's. Both have created a few "epic" songs, several "mini-epics" (i.e. 10-15 min), as well as more standard-length songs. Both are releasing arguably the two most highly-anticipated prog albums in 2007. Need I go on?

Dream Theater is a good band, who made some great recordings.

Porcupine Tree however is already in my all-time top5 prog bands.
