DT (Dream Theater) vs PT (Porcupine Tree)

Do you get the DTs if you go without DT, or do you always need a pt of PT?

(Whew, that took some stretching to come up with)

I like both, but I prefer PT

3-0 to Porked Tree so far (edit, make that 5-2, re-edit 2-7).  Though this is early days, I expect Porcupine Tree to ream Dream Theater in this poll.  Here are the results of when it was done before: PT or DT

Porcupine Tree	103	[70.07%]
Dream Theater	44	[29.93%]

Has anyone done a DT (Deadsoul Tribe) vs. PT (Pineapple Thief) one?  There are a number of DTs in PA.

I prefer PT.  Won't vote, though, as neither PT nor DT are my cup-of-T.

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

I prefer PT.  Won't vote, though, as neither PT nor DT are my cup-of-T. I suspect the results will be similar- but I was curious. The last poll was started before Fear of a Blank Planet or Systematic Chaos were released.  I know people are abuzz about the new Dream Theater album coming up also.

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.

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 

Im not a huge fan of either but I do prefer PT, specifically In Absentia.

Voted DT, for what it's worth.

PT by far, an amazing band
and never understood all the hype about DT
