Indeed he does  . For my money Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape is the best thing Pt have ever done, which is some compliment.

Not actually sure P tree are going to be regarded at the unknown level. (getting 64% of the recognition vote) As contempoaries of Radiohead their lack of profile by comparison is quite considerable.
Escaping the shadows of their prominent rock origins may be a problem. Radiohead with their post new wave, alt rock (even from Kid A) RIO influences (which in turn are hardly well known) and may allow people to think of Radiohead as more original than they really are. P Tree with the links to Pink Floyd still swirling. Shame really as they (by now) have more albums than the Floyd and probably more all over excellent ones.
These days there are a lot of great bands but the golden era only ever featured a few and allowed easier focus and consumption.
Now it's all very different.

This. There are certain songs alone from Radiohead that Porcupine Tree and Muse couldn't touch in an entire discography's worth of trying.

Let's clear this up. Maybe they don't fall snugly into the "Prog" genre (I'm assuming this is what you meant). But if we're talking progressive, by the definition of the word itself, they most definitely are. Radiohead is one of the most forward-thinking bands of the past decade and into the late 90s, if not the most. Now, if anybody here doesn't think that Radiohead is a progressive band, you need to do some serious research into their discography, because you're missing out on some of the most well-composed contemporary music that history has to offer. Main point here: Radiohead will be remembered worldwide for generations upon generations to come, whereas you simply can't say the same for Muse (  ) or Porcupine Tree. Do great bands often stay under the radar and miss out on the recognition they deserve? Yes. But often times, there's a reason.

These are my three absolute favorite bands, so it's real hard for me too choose only one of them; anyway, my answer may vary depending on my mood or according to what I'm listening to. Porcupine Tree is, obviously, the most proggy among these, albeit they've been flirting with metal lately (collaboration with Opeth, anyone?). While Muse is more of an alternative rock band - incorporating prog elements, but still - , Radiohead is more one of a kind, mixing prog, electronica and rock in an unique, characteristic blend. I would say that Porcupine Tree does have the richest discography, and experimented with way more music styles that the two other bands included in this poll. And I love their guitar solos a lot, so it kind of plays an important role regarding my choice. That's why they would get my vote if the pool was still opened. :)

^Yeah that's an interesting idea although I'd narrow it down even more to old PT vs Flaming Lips since Radiohead isn't very psychedelic and neither is Sigur Ros or new PT.

In my opinion, a more interesting poll would be:
Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, Sigur Ros or Flaming Lips?
Or, since we all know Porcupine Tree would win (they are the one most associated with prog), perhaps removing them from the equation...
