Ozric Tentacles vs Porcupine Tree

Back in the 90's both bands were equally known and respected. Actually if anything OT were at one point more respected and more known(at least in the US) maybe partly because they were on a major label and had wide distribution. However, at some point things changed and PT ultimately became quite a bit more well known. Popularity contests aside I think both bands are equally strong although I admit I lost track of OT somewhere down the road. All that being said I am interested in quality so I want to know which band you prefer not because you think they are cool or because you only know them(which is why I have options 3 and 5 in here). I didn't want a majority of the votes to be one band just because they are more well known. So please vote for the appropriate choice and only one band or the other if you know both bands fairly well(at least 4 albums by each band).

I've always liked Porcupine Tree and never liked Ozric Tentacles, so it's an easy choice for me.

Love em both but it's Porcupine Tree for sure for me.

OT for me.  No question.  

definitely the Ozrics

Neither!

PT most often, OT sometimes

In a way I can't really blame them because it worked but it also sort of made them seem like sell outs(at least to some degree).
