3 of my favourite bands of the last 10 years
 
Of all the albums released I would take Muse - Absolution and Radiohead - Kid A over anything that Porcupine Tree have done. However if you take the whole catologue of releases then Porcupine Tree by a long margin over Radiohead with Muse a distant third.
(voted PT)

Great joke !

Not a fan of all three, but PT at least have few good prog rock albums. Radiohead are hardly prog, but some their releases are interesting as well. Muse was interesting MTV heavy wing's hero, anyway they are better than Nickelback .

No, not at all. If I didn't think they were all incredibly good, I wouldn't have made a poll comparing them. I will agree that Radiohead is not prog in the strictest sense but they're pretty experimental. Oh and Muse is better than most bands out there including, obviously, Nickelback.

It's funny because they were recently on the cover of Prog Rock Magazine, and they're constantly affiliated with that scene. Plus all of the synths and mellotron and whatever on their albums, it would make sense that they like prog.</span>


They're incredibily pretentious, and probably consider themselves above classification,   

It was even more cool in the 90's to distsnce yourself from prog than it is now. Radiohead were at a pivotal point in their their career when they did OK Computer. The last thing they wanted was for the music press to start making comparisons to prog rock.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I love Porcupine Tree, only like 1 Radiohead album and can't stand the rest of their releases, and can't stand Muse.

Truth? Confused 
 
Is this carved in stone tablets and archived away in some hallowed temple of musicological academia somewhere?
What?

Even looking formally Muse is tagged as prog-related on PA (what means NOT PROG), Radiohead are slightly different case, formally tagged as Crossover Prog (what in case of very inclusive PA Crossover term means often almost the same).

Interesting "truth" description BTW
