 PT mostly sh*t? Blasphemy! Agreed, they are not always prog, but some track are VERY prog... As for the poll, I love both bands, but I pick PT simply because I never get tired of listening to them, as for DT, sometimes I get tired of them...

I dont know about DT, it seems they're a bit corny, or a bit overated. I dont know, maybe my expectations were too high when I got my first album metropolis part two (even though its considered they're best), dont get me wrong it was excellent, but not what I was expecting from the worlds so called "greatest prog metal band". Though honestly I like TOT best (thats probably because I'm that kind of dark muzac liking person)!
Porc tree however blew me away after the first listen to FOABP! They are a very original band, different lyrics, different soundscapes, different everything from the norm! porcupine tree foe me!

Five years ago, I would have said Dream Theater. Now, its definitely Porcupine Tree. In fact, I listen to more PT than DT these days. Something about the music just kept growing on me. DT has a better initial punch, but now proves to lack staying power. Go figure. |
Exactly the same here  . Though for me it would have been probably a few months ago that I would of picked DT, got familiar with PT just lately now.

Porcupine Tree...without a doubt. But I'm far more impressed with PT's earlier career.

Well it's PT for me at least. DT failed to impress me since ... well it's been a while.
the last DT album to blow me away was six degrees of Inner turbulence; so, there's been a while, right?

I voted it for Porcupine Tree for several Reasons:
PT was love at the first site.
DT took a very long time
PT sounded a lot like the band I love Pink Floyd specially in the early days.
DT sound too much like the bands once I hate Metallica well I can tolerated them I little these days.
Steve Wilson is amazing song writer and vocalist.
Mike and John are also but sometimes their lyrics are so stupid and boring.
Musically speaking DT win the poll with me. They guys are much better musicians that PT however Pt doesn't have to make so much noise to sound good.
DT members are fans of Porcupine Tree. I am not sure if that the same case with PT.
BUT, Both are 2 of my fav's prog band of today.!!!

Why even participate in such a poll if you don't like both bands ?
And why are your posts always negative ?

Porcupine Tree is doing something
different from their earlier work, but it is nothing different from
some mainstream bands and they are not prog anymore since many years.
They are more like an indie alternative metal band that insists in
using the tag progressive rock just to appear to be serious concerned
about the quality of their music, like many indie bands do.
|
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....SW has spent years
avoiding the tag "Prog Rock" so you are completely wrong there. 
|
Have you ever read any recent SW interview? He mention his music is the
real progressive while Flower Kings, for example, is not in one
interview. So before you assuming something you don't know, don't
assume anything because maybe it is you that is short of knowledge and
as an admin you should be the last to make such an offending statement.
Can you prove what you say? I can, just search for a topic about SW and Roine Stolt controversy.
