 Topic: PT or DT
Posted: March 06 2007 at 15:21 |
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.

For me, it's PT by a mile. But DT is still awesome.

Porcupine Tree are better, write better songs, have better production values, don't have an annoying singer, don't play over the top material for the sake of it, know the description of 'feel', are original, etc...
Edit : most of all, they are INSPIRED !!!

DT's time is gone for me. they are a great band with great musicians, but right now, PT has something special, something like DT had a couple of years ago.
Maybe is because just the past year a got into PT...

They abandoned PA due to the incessant bashing their favorite band gets...

No bashing of the band. They are talented and I do like their material. But I seem to remember a while back DT was all the rage.

I don't believe this. I'm the first person to vote for DT! PT is great, sure, but DT is just...better. They just are. I can't explain it.

REALLY tough poll. I've been in a huge PT mood lately with the purchases of Lightbulb Sun and The Sky Moves Sideways. I really enjoy Dream Theater, though. I'm going to have to think about this one.

DT master their instruments probably more than most bands today, but they are far from mastering songwriting, feel and originality... which is why PT is better than DT... (and I have every album by both bands, by the way )

I Love Them Both. But In My Opinon Steven Wilson is the Modern Day " Dave Gilmour". I just get pissed off because PT never get any PUB.......I am sick of it. ........

Not the most obvious bands in the world to compare to one another......... They're too different to compare IMO, so I'll let this poll go on without my vote
