I don’t like comparing studio and live albums, so the last four are mostly a result of the live albums having lots of great tracks, and the last two studio albums not so much.

1. The Raven That Refused to Sing (18 points)
2. Hand. Cannot. Erase (12 points)
3. Grace for Drowning (9 points)
4. Insurgentes (6 points)
5. Home Invasion (4 points)
6. Get All You Deserve (3 points)
7. To The Bone (2 points)
8. The Future Bites (1 point)

^ It's good to see we have the same Top 3 SW studio albums. Thumbs Up

1. The Raven...
2. Hand...

My two choices have Marco (drums) and Guthrie (guitar) 2/3 of the band The Aristocrats. Don't care for the other releases of Steven's.

I only know Raven, Hand and Grace but all three are very good especially Raven and Hand.

So far, it looks like The Raven has caught the worm and flown away, leaving the other seven SW albums far behind. Thumbs Up

Do you really dislike The Future Bites so much that it's in 109th place in your list? Tongue

1. The Future Bites (18 Points)
2. Insurgentes (12 Points)
3. To The Bone (9 Points)
4. Grace For Drowning (6 Points)
5. Hand Cannot Erase (4 Points)
6. The Raven That Refused to Sing (3 Points)

The first and last are fairly set in stone. The remainder are how I would rank them today, but I might change my mind tomorrow, and probably would have come up with a different order yesterday. But Raven really doesn’t do a lot for me, and is easily my least favourite SW solo album, and TFB is just as easily my favourite. I love it!

Proving once again that we have very similar tastes in music as we have the same Top 3 SW studio albums. Thumbs Up

1. Get All You Deserve
2. The Raven That Refused To Sing (and other stories)
3. Insurgentes
4. Hand. Cannot. Erase
5. Grace For Drowning
6. To The Bone
7. 
8. The Future Bites

I don't own Home Invasion but looking at the ratings on PA I probably should! I deliberately put the Future Bites at no 8 so it gets just one point (for Personal Shopper mainly)

That's awesome! For me TFB will not be at that position on my list, but I have to say it has grown on me over this past year. There is some great Steven Wilson music on that album, if you know what I mean.

What The Raven gives me is a mix of different styles of music, it has nothing to do whether I think it is his most prog record, but it has more that he included jazz rock, metal, ambient and hard rock in 6 songs. I really should have listed Insurgentes as my top album on my list....

Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life
