I feel as if I've forsaken Dream Theater but I've gotta give it to Porcupine Tree. Porcupinee Tree make better music but Dream Theater were better live.

The earlier Porcupine Tree isn't really Prog Metal. I wouldn't really define PT as Prog Metal but I believe they play a major role in the future of Prog.

Even though PT is a great band, even though I like it a lot (own all studio albums +metanoia +voyage34), I really don't see it as a history-changing band in the history of prog.... you can say whatever you like, you can hate them as much as you want, but for prog-metal at least (and, sorry, for all prog) there is a before Images and Words and after Images and Words... Anyway, as this is a poll of favoritism, of course I'll go with The Dream. I hate this polls that seem to imply the idea that both bands are exclusive or something, at least many posts give that idea....

Absolutely no contest. One of the easiest polls I have ever seen.
Porcupine Tree are one of the best bands around these days.
DT.....aren't  |

PT music is more interesting, and SW is a much better singer. I do have to admit, that DT's drummer is amazing.

I can't say I'll miss them... although they were a great target whenever I needed a scapegoat for all that is wrong with prog.

Then give PT a spin. Deadwing might have made you think they are prog-metal, so check out their back catalogue, you won't regret it.

Not the most obvious bands in the world to compare to one another......... They're too different to compare IMO, so I'll let this poll go on without my vote

I Love Them Both. But In My Opinon Steven Wilson is the Modern Day " Dave Gilmour". I just get pissed off because PT never get any PUB.......I am sick of it. ........

DT master their instruments probably more than most bands today, but they are far from mastering songwriting, feel and originality... which is why PT is better than DT... (and I have every album by both bands, by the way )
