Porcupine Tree hands down. Symphony X is a bit too cheesy for my tastes.

I actually really like that PT album (and ONLY that PT album) but I really like Divine Wings as well, even if it's not their best.

SX since they'll need the votes more.

If it were only about the vocals, then Allen easily crushes Wilson.  Allen is probably the closest any heavy metal singer has got to matching Dio's tonal purity as well as fiery intensity.  Unfortunately, even In Absentia sounds like Octopus or something like that compared to the strictly by the numbers Divine Wings. In Absentia it is.

Deep psychology here
I feel like the forum hippie here myself, saying everything's groovy and let's all have peace with another and why don't we all shake hands?
