My personal favourite is the 2 CD compilation "Stars Die". I only have two Porcupine Tree studio albums on CD: "In Absentia" & "Deadwing".

Interesting. Never really thought much about it. 

1. On The Sunday Of Life...
2. Stupid Dream
3. Signify 
4. Up The Downstair 
5. Lightbulb Sun
6. In Abenstia
7. The Sky Moves Sideways
8. Deadwing
9. Fear Of A Blank Planet
10. The Incident 

that feels about right. Voyage 34, Coma Divine, and Arriving Somewhere... would rank fairly high if nonstudio albums were included. 
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

HI,

Let's see .... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10.

The order for them? ... Big smile

I forgot. I'm not sure I listened to them because of ratings ... I liked the music, pretty much in all of the albums, and will not rank one over the other.

I do find, subjectively, that "The Incident" is a much better album than we give it credit for, however, I have had a thought or two, that it would have been a much better SINGLE ALBUM, and not a double one, which would take out a song or two (save it for a "remix"!!!) to make a stronger album.

Sadly, it has killed the group ... and I think that SW has found fresher waters by himself! 
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I don't really know how to rank them, but my favourite is not even a studio album. It's Coma Divine.

Signify's been as high as 1 for me. So have the other top 4. I used to like Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun a lot more, but they didn't age so well.

I think eventually the metally albums won't age so well.
