| They're both good, but I like Porcupine Tree much more. |

I've just managed to get into Caravan! I like PT, but I find them a tad bit overrated... Especially the album "In Absentia" is REALLY boring at times! I'm voting for Caravan

Ditto (all of it)  After hearing only "In the Land of..." and "In Absentia" thus far, the former is much more interesting -------------

I go for PT. Camel is excellent but has not the same energy. Hard to compare, and in fact I only choose PT for their outstanding gigs (I saw them thrice and I had never been disappointed). ------------- Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it. Salvador Dali. |

I doubt half of the people who voted for PT have even listened to Caravan. -------------

I'm starting to think so as well... How can Porcupine Tree get so many votes? Why are they so INCREDIBLY amazing? I think it's just a good band, they have never put up anything that can match the countless number of progclassics out there.. But that's just my opinion |

Caravan all the way! 1 of my favorite bands right now. I like PT too and i think Wilson is a very talanted man, but he and PT dont come close to Caravan imo. -------------

Caravan isn't one of my favourite Canterbury Scene bands (though I certainly like Caravan), but I'd put any Canterbury Scene band I know over Porcupine Tree. PT are good at what they do, but Canterbury Scene is one of my favourite categories here.

Caravan, they're just behind Soft machine in my Canterbury Scene top preferences. |

Woah, how could I possibly choose between these two?? I own four albums by Caravan and six (studio) albums by PT, and except for Deadwing, they all get at least four stars from me... Then again, the only five star record among all of those is ITLOGAP. But PT does have three four and a half star albums... and I do listen to them a whole lot more than Caravan. Plus, the gig last year in Helsinki was absolutely mind blowing.
Right, I'll go with the contemporary greatness and choose PT! ------------- I was made to love magic |

I too have to go with PT here. I love "if you could...." and ITLOGAP (in fact they are among my most favorite albums) but I also love PT and voting for them just gives me better feeling. the last 5 albums were awesome. SW is the man! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/dAJaro/?chartstyle=basic10">

Both in terms of musical importance and personal preference: Caravan.
Still, PT is okay and I even went to see them in concert. Cool band.

For the first time on this forums, I actually cannot pick. I like the both a lot, and I shall have to listen to more by both bands in order to draw a fair decision. ------------- Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat? |

Okay. Deadwing is a 5 star, In absentia is 4.5 and that's all i heard from Porcupine Tree. I have three Caravan cd's (Girls, Land of Grey and pink and If i could..) and all three are masterpieces. Both bands are f**king amazing however, so i guess it's a matter of vintage vs. modern. I fully understand the PT supporters, even though i will vote for Caravan, they're just closer to my heart. -------------
