This band have done some amazing albums and live gigs,yet they seem to be undiscovered by many people
They are fantastic and are getting better and better for me they deserve more attention Edited by longliveyes - January 18 2008 at 18:09 |

Are you kidding? PT are one of the most prominant prog bands in existence right now. It would be quite difficult for them to have MORE fans.

Porcupine tree and DT are the two most discussed modern prog bands here. Sure they're not big mainstream, while they have the potential, but who cares, great musci go's for those with great taste.

I recently saw them at the kentish town forum in london, it was sold out and ticket touts were selling at very high prices outside, so i think there doing fine. By the way they were awesome.

Yeah, they're more popular than Caravan, still not as popular as they should be though. Both bands should have more fans, but people like bad music, what can you do. |

PT are getting more fans by the minute. Prog isn't popular anyway. I saw them twice this year..1st at a small club/bar the 2nd was a sold-out amplitheater...go figure.
What is with these new posters? |

Pretty much every progressive music fan I've talked to is insanely crazy about this band...

If they got more exposure they'd be more popular. Just the public
would much rather listen to Hannah Montana, Kanye West, and Fall out
Boy before they listen to an intelligent band like PT.

If PT got more popular with that crowd, I'd be worried. The people who listen to the stuff you listed are beyond conversion... unless PT makes some sort of minimalist album, that's danceable and/or full of "catchy" hooks left and right |

Shhh.... let's keep this a secret. God know what will happen if Radiohead and Muse fans discover Porcupine Tree.
