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. -------------

Oh you all are deceiving yourselves of course...

By the way: I saw them live and they're great, even though Wilson is not charismatic and he actually made mistakes, like forgetting the lyrics of Blackest Eyes....
 I have all their albums....They're one of the great bands...
But of course with me they CAN'T be the new DT....  -------------

You know, nobody listens to Hannah Montana, besides the occasional 10 year old girl. Lumping her together with them is an insult to Kanye West and, yes, even Fall out Boy, because even though as bad as they are, they are actually musicians.
PT aren't that intelligent, it's just more angsty teen lyrics over simple music that appears to be complex (before you scream, SW said about as much in an interview). I think they have way too many fans. But nobody likes me, so whatever.
They are extremely popular, almost everyone in the archives appears to love them and talk about them constantly, I hear them mentioned outside of a prog context, and Shallow is bloody preloaded onto my Xbox 360.

Well, Prog-Related doesn't mean bad music, on the contrary... Some of my all-time favourite bands are in PR, as my reviews spell quite clearly. However, I'd like to remind you all that there are quite a few other bands who are in fully prog subs and have even less prog credentials than Rush. That said, I do agree about PT being a good band, but not the groundbreaking act that many consider them to be. Personally, I think The Mars Volta are the real blueprint for modern prog - love them or hate them, they are progressive in the true sense of the word. |

If their gig at the House of Blues in Dallas last October is any indication they are doing just fine, fan-wise. The room was packed and the ages ranged from teens to people in their late fifties and everyone seemed to recognize every song they played so you do the math. And all that without a single ad or blurb in the local rags. ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |

I saw them two years ago at Town Hall in NYC...the place was fairly packed, but not sold-out, and everyone remained seated. Then I just saw them recently at much bigger Beacon Theater, and the place was MOBBED, with everyone in the orchestra section standing throughout the entire show. I'd say they're the most successful of the new prog and prog-related bands out there. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/ShadowCircus/" rel="nofollow - ..::welcome to the shadow circus::.. |

| I think it would be fairly safe to say they sit somewhere between the standard definitions of modern prog and alt rock.

Which is a reason to find it rather surprising that it is such a popular band here at a site devoted to so-called prog for so-called progheads. I find it rather more surprising that Porcupine Tree is so very popular amongst progressive music aficionados than it not being that popular amongst the general, more mainstream music community. As has been noted, it's one of the most popular modern bands at this site and gets a great deal of attention. Fear of a Blank Planet is the top-rated album of 2007 at this site, has a considerable lead in the non-collab top 2007 albums, and will probably be the top Collab album of 2007. Deadwing was the collaborator's top album for 2005. Perhaps they more obviously catered to a Prog audience before and people have remained loyal, or maybe it's acted as something of a gateway band for many (for people who don't know a lot of Prog and may have, after discovering this site, subsequently ventured into more adventurous and esoteric territory). Why is PT as popular amongst die-hard progheads as it is? Is it an easier band to get into for those into classic prog than most modern progressive bands? OF course it's going to have more appeal to people into, say, Progressive Metal than a band such as Rational Diet or whatever, and while the guys from PT aren't that young, perhaps the music has more youthful appeal than, say, Robert Wyatt (whose latest is quite poppy, but in a mature way). ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

I liked Deadwing when I was first majorly getting into Prog, but now it does nothing for me. I've not even heard Fear of a Blank Planet, except for Anaesthetise and like most people posting in this thread, I find them quite average in terms of prog. However, they're a great alternative rock band and they ave a lot of talent, so they're not average in that context. By the way, be nice to the newcomer, he may have said something that you disagree with, but that is no reason to call him names. -------------

But to be honest from the gushing praise they get I have to admit being somewhat underwhelmed...maybe I started with the wrong album?
The solo by Lifeson is a great touch though!

Incidentally there's a short interview with Wilson on the front page of http://www.metalireland.com - www.metalireland.com for those interested. It deals only with his recollections of recording Opeth's Blackwater Park.
It is short like I said, but a good read...he comes across well.

Incidentally, it was on this forum he first spilled out the beans about Anesthetize. He never told the name of it but wrote that there would be a 17 minute long beast of a song on the next record.

iTunes probably don't take into account the differences in style *within* a band's discography. If this compilation is your first foray into PT, you will be surprised when listening to some of their latest albums! An open mind is kinda required But fear not, it's ALL good stuff, just different!

Lack of fans? Are you kidding me? Next to the Mars Volta(or DT if we can count them)they are probably the most popular current prog band. Both PT and TMV showed up around the 500's in a list of the top 885 bands/artists of all time on a poll done by a radio show in 2006. Also, PT's last two albums both cracked the Billboard charts("deadwing" was 132 and "foabp" was 59). Also, when I saw them in 2005 they had filled up about 90-95 percent of a venue that seats about 1,350. Not too shabby. What other newer prog band has 1,000(or more)fans showing up at concerts? Not many that I can think of. If there are any modern prog bands that have lack of fans they would be the Flower Kings and Spock's Beard. Both of those bands were contemporaries of PT back in the 90's and all three were considered the big three of modern prog. THen once Steve Wilson started working with Opeth PT found themselves being mentioned in metal magazines and they just rose ahead all the other newer prog bands as far as popularity goes. Being signed to a major label didn't hurt either.

I saw PT at last at their first ever gig in Australia last week.The band are NOT short of fans here in oz.Everywhere I looked the crowd were ecstatic.The band were outstanding and I think the live set of FOABP came across even better than the cd.Along with the backdrop movies -very dark and moving songs.The band were genuinely surprised at the audience appreciation and love of all the material played.
Incidently a previous poster stated SW forgot the words to Blackest Eyes.Well he did it again but it was a very funny moment.Like the string breaking during Trains on the dvd.Maybe he throws in something random like that in every gig.A real charismatic front man imo. ------------- "There is a lot in this world to be tense and intense about" MJK |

PT has lots of fans inside the prog comunity, being myself one But maybe in a more mainstream scene like Mtv or stuff, PT could somehow be unknown. Even though, I think I saw a video from them on TV, so I guess that their fame is ascending outside the prog comunity. -------------

| I'm very surprised that Porcupine Tree haven't caught on outside of diehard Prog fan circles. They're a way more interesting band than Radiohead but let's be honest that really doesn't count for much in today's music scene. But still albums like In Absentia, Deadwing and Fear Of A Blank Planet are hugely ignored by the masses and I know given the chance from a lot of people their fanbase would increase hugely. |
