^^ Andu, why the hostile attitude ? He was merely asking a question.
If you have a bad day, take it some place else, StyLaZyn did nothing to get your heat.

I like both, but there's no question who I and most people like more.

No, looking for a reason why someone would offer something that had nothing to offer. |

Oh, Portnoy has some great chops, but I have come to realize he overplays. A measure of greatness in a musician could be the tasteful placement of rests. |
A great musician is not only one who plays very well, but also one who knows when NOT to play... This is why PT are better than DT.

Porcupine Tree. While I like DT, Porcupine Tree are definitely the better songwriters in my eyes.

They have many similarities, so many it's almost a little eerie. They were both very important bands in the early times of the modern prog resurgence, and started releasing material in the same exact year (1989). Both of them produce a good deal of music that fits under the "prog-metal" label, yet both have strong "non-metal prog" qualities as well. Both have released about 8 studio albums and various other albums, live and otherwise, as well as live DVD's. Both have created a few "epic" songs, several "mini-epics" (i.e. 10-15 min), as well as more standard-length songs. Both are releasing arguably the two most highly-anticipated prog albums in 2007.

Dream Theater is a good band, who made some great recordings.
Porcupine Tree however is already in my all-time top5 prog bands.

A couple of observations:
1) Wow, PT is kicking @$$ in this poll! I'm glad, because they're my choice too.
2) To the people who said that you can't really compare these two bands, I don't understand your point of view at all:
