Porcupine Tree sounds somewhat alternative to me, excluding early career stuff. But I like them anyway . This guy will hate Porcupine Tree alone.

Steven Wilson have never said that porcupine tree is prog.

Are they prog? who cares?? They're now one of the best bands.

In first place, I believe Porcupine Tree is absolutely Prog', but that's not the point.

I'm tired of this people that believe we are ignorants because we like Yes or Genesis.

Even though I stated and believe Porcupine Tree is Prog, I also believe they are a derivative Pink Floyd wannabes with a lot of alternative elements and can't compete with the great bands, they are good, but not exceptional IMO. 

What the hell is wrong with keyboard solos or using capes? If it wasn't for bands as Yes, Genesis and especially Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree wouldn't even exist.

I never opened my mouth to criticize this band, but I'm really tired of  guys  trying to teach us how open minded they are and how stupid narrow minded we are when they don't know what they are talking about.

i dislike yes except for relayer... genesis angers me because the rest of the guys could hardly make up for phil collins's suckiness.


phil collins =

yes and genesis are of among the few progressive bands i really dont like that much.

We know you don't like Yes and you're entitled to, but how do you have the guts to try to teach us about Prog' when you didn't even knew there was Genesis before Phil Collins on vocals???????

PS Of course starting a thread with screw Porcupine Tree is silly, agressive and offensive, but I'm really getting tired of this self proclaimed open minded guys.

Porcupine Tree lack the flashiness of ELP and Yes but certainly have something to offer.What is the point of dismissing anything? I've always found prog a rewarding genre and have yet to find a band that I could dismiss entirely (except maybe Triumvirat but I've only heard one album).PT are a band that many fans of classic prog seem to enjoy.There may just be a reason for that!
