    So, recently I've become a crazy fan of Porcupine tree. I love all of their songs and the music's just too awesome and dreamy. my top three favorite songs are:

    1. Lazarus
    2.Trains
    3.Arriving somewhere but not here

    and many more, basically if it's a song of Porcupine tree, I'm into it! XD

    Actually, it depends. not everyone would love their songs.to me, after listening to their songs several times, I was in love with them. their music is just so dreamy and it's introduced me in a whole new world!
    I only listened to their greatest hits , oh how i wish i had all of their albums! :(
    but anyway, their "In absentia", "Deadwing" and "Fear of a blank planet" albums are great! :D

    voyage 34 is a "time and place" album, i like to listen to it driving.
    "the sky moves sideways" is a fantastic early album

    fear of a black planet is perhaps their most accessible album, and their peak.

    personally i like the last album "the Incident" and im a big fan of steve wilsons solo stuff too

    Lightbulb Sun is my favourite album of theirs, but they've released so many great albums during their career. One of the greatest bands of the past 25 years.

    A rare visitor to this forum, great to see Porcupine Tree getting mentioned. There is a lot of love for them in the Rock + Metal forum.

    One of my favourite bands to grace this earth, Steven Wilson is an outright genius. My favourite album is Lightbulb Sun, I would recommend Fear of a Blank Planet for people to listen to, then In Absentia and Deadwing. Jesus I love these guys, the Royal Albert Hall show (their last if I recall correctly) was a masterclass in musicianship, songwriting and live performance. Arriving Somewhere But Not Here just blew me away (despite seeing it in Belfast 2 days previously).

    Saw these guys in concert at the Tripod in Dublin a few years ago and they blew my mind!. I have been going to gigs for 35 years and this show was right up there. "Deadwing is my favourite album"
