I still proudly enjoy Dream Theater.
Porcupine Tree has yet to affect me. I'm thinking of listening to more of their music, but I really don't feel like spending my money on something I may or may not enjoy.

Oh. In that case, I apologize for my outburst. ... But in case anyone else tries to say James can't sing, you have my answer. lol |

JLB sings better than SW to me. That irony was directed to Camel.

I would have said PT before. I'll go with DT now, but I really like them both.

This looks like a modern ELP vs Camel to my eyes and ears. You have the bombast on one side and the subtle Valium-like on the other. Well.., at least SW can sing.
Hard to decide , PT is more consistent and their later album was their best. While DT's last two were awful but they have incredible albums like Awake.

Neither of them are favourites of mine (surprise, surprise), but I'd take PT any day over DT. As overrated as I find them, at least I can listen to a whole album of theirs and find some pleasure in it.

I've gotten to where I can hardly stand DT anymore. PT easily.

I havent listened to enough porcupine tree albums to give a good vote on the bands' entire discographies, but what ive heard from PT is definitely better than DT's recent albums and definitely not as good as Images and Words in my mind

It will be interesting to see how different, or how similar the votes are. Both bands' latest releases proved somewhat controversial (what anticipated releases by established names don't prove somewhat controversial? lol). Although looking at the ratings, and some collabs, and collabs commonly tend to be cautious when it comes to giving out masterpiece status, gave DT's five stars, but I know it palled for many DT fans. And PT's caused significant wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth when they "won" collab's top album for 2007 (particularly after winning that distinction with their former album -- 2005's Deadwing). PT's has the overall higher rating, so it could be that PT does even better this time, though there is that anticipation over DT's album (surprised to see it's already been added to PA), and of course tastes change, and people come and go. There are bands I loved some years ago, that I don't like nearly so much anymore. |

Dream Theater for me, they're my absolute favorite band. That said, Porcupine Tree is my #2. So I really can't lose here.
