How about "love songs" by Porcupine Tree? I am curious (yellow). I couldn't resist (and who gets the reference?).

I love Burning Sky, but went with Anesthetize simply because it's incredible the band could still put out such good music after 7 albums.

Million Years is On The Sunday Of Life - P Tree's Piper. Although given the morass of early releases before this more or less official debut that observation may not be clear. Big thumbs up to that unsung hero Alan Duffy the P Tree lyricist before SW learned to read and write so well...
Thought Buying New Soul would be here making the voting choice monumentally difficult... Instead it's just mildly impossible. Love the Recordings album - consisting of rejects (!!!) that make me wonder at their ability to compile an album. Spoiled for choice - what a problem.
Went for Burning Sky as the more recent and famous numbers would probably get more attention plus I think it is possibly the best example of the non virtuoso doing an exceptionally splendid piece of music.. I usually go for the more spacey and psychedlic of P Tree (although most material has awesome virtue). Strange As It Seems I did not vote for Radioactive Toy but just thought I'd mention the live album where that epic piece of wonder gets a nice 16 minute relaxed work out...

Agreed. So many good choices here, but ultimately have to go with "Anesthetize."
By the way, on the most recent Steven Wilson tour, "Radioactive Toy" was an encore song. At least in Boulder, where I saw the show, the version done by the current band was fantastic. I don't know if any of the shows were recorded, but I would love to put may hands on a live recording if for nothing more the version of this tune done by this band.

I also heard Radioactive Toy on the same tour (on Mexico City), and indeed it was amazing. As far as I know, there's no video or CD release from this tour, but it would be great since he did a lot of killer versions of his songs (mainly... heavier). He did release the previous tour on DVD though, but I think the Raven tour was better (at least for what I heard on the DVD). However, if you can't get the latest tour version of Radioactive Toy, you may enjoy at least the version on Coma Divine, which is really great too... though not as heavy nor with flute or sax (I don't remember which instrument might have been added to that version). Still, I don't know the original version of the song, so I can't really compare them.

Difficult choice between Radioactive Toy and The Sky Moves Sideways (Coma Divine versions, which are the ones I know). And with a close 3rd slot for Russia on Ice (Warzawa Version). I guess I'll go with The Sky Moves Sideways today, since I'm in a Pink Floyd mood (waiting to get my hands on their new album).

Russia on Ice has always been one of my favorites. Buying New Soul is another fantastic song, though omitted here.

"Moonloop". Beautiful light parts and eventually a really kicking riff.
I did try out "Even Less" based on Neu!mann's recommendation, and it's fantastic, too.

Arriving Somewhere is historically my favorite here, but I admit I didn't like it nearly as much when I revisited it recently. I voted for a relative underdog, Russia on Ice, instead. Something about that song's lyrics really resonates with me. If it's really about what I think it's about, anyway. I'm happy to remain in the dark about that answer.
