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. ------------- "I need you more that you can know ... and if I hurt myself it's just for show" |

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.
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??????? Iván 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! |

PT's a great band, prog, not prog, whatever. Freaking awesome band. Not being around in the 70s' doesn't mean fudge about their talent. You can be more intelligent, resourceful, educated and noble than Columbus (the last thing isn't particularly difficult) and you'll never discover America, nor any other continent, for that matter. The only problem with them is that it seems Steven Wilson can be thoughtless and prejudiced on occasions (he said that Steve Vai is only about speed). Other than that PT rule. ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen. Carry a strong stick. Bash your attackers." - Zen Master Ikkyu Sojun |

So what if the guy doesn't like porcupine tree and doesn't know if
there prog? We have no REAL deffinition of prog ourselves. And even if
he didn't like them, he's just saying it to "express himself." So you
know what, I will too! I don't like ELP. There great musicians, have a
lot of talent, but they just don't do it for me. Go ahead, yell at me!
