Porcupine Tree, although I'm not as big a fan as I used to be.

I like Drones and Hullaballo, but I don't enjoy anything else Muse has done.

Never liked Radiohead.

Porcupine Tree(everything from Signify on is great). Also honourable mention to "The Sky Moves Sideways" and "Stars Die".

I can't stand Thom Yorke, so Radiohead can suck a bag of dicks.

Muse was good from 2001-2007. Downhill ever since.

I like The Bends, OK Computer, and Pablo Honey, but Kid A bores the crap out of me. One of the worst albums in my 1200+ cd collection, quite frankly.

The only Muse I have is Absolution....meh. Though they are a good live band, based on the videos I've watched on youtube.

Porcupine Tree wins by a landslide Beer

PORCUPINE TREE !!!!  Radiohead are pretty good, and I haven't bothered with Muse.  I've been told if I don't like Queen, I won't like Muse.......

Someone is goin' to holler at me soon, but ...

Radiohead must have been caught in the multi-decade loop of experimenting with the sound for the sake of experimenting with the sound (this includes highly experimental Mr. Yorke's "singing").  Personally, I do not enjoy bleak minimalism. 

I am tempted to say: When you all are done experimenting, crystallize something in your (Radio)head that sounds like self-sufficient, rich, upbeat music and record an album. If you can, that is. 

Muse is an interesting band - if you allow yourself to be impressed with their titles and  album art, you may think they are a multi-megawatt prog powerhouse, right? Wrong. The music is day-to-day, predictable emo shoegazing stuff (based on the 3 albums we have), and I don't even know why you'd compare them to PT.  But, they do have good musicianship and vocals, so that would be a plus. 


I don't know if we even need to discuss PT in this context - they are  an archetypal "prog" band (well, at least Wilson); they have explored and enriched just about all existing sub-genres of prog and helped create, IMHO, a few new ones.

On a progressive rock site this result isn't exactly surprising. Try posting a similar poll with the readers of Rolling Stones magazine, and see who gets out on top. Trust me people - we are the degenerates here....
I did however vote for Porcupine. Not a fan of Radiohead, outside of Kid A that is, and Muse are good for charming the pants off women, but nothing more.

I think Porcupine Tree wins over the other two, just judging from the masterpieces In Absentia and Fear of a Blank Planet. Radiohead is good but the only album that impresses me is OK Computer. I've tried to get into some of Muse's stuff but it's just not sparking. The Tree wins with Radiohead and Muse left in its shade.

Radiohead is synonym of genius.
Excellent modern band.
