I haven't made many top tens for a long, long time now, so I've returned with a thread on the magnificent... Porcupine Tree.
My top ten, as already stated on the top 5 KC songs thread (though it was not well thought out; I edited it to include Trains and Blackest Eyes, that I stupidly forgot, Anaesthetize is now above The Incident, and The Sky Moves Sideways is now above Strip the Soul): 1. The Sound of Muzak (by a mile) 2. Anaesthetize 3. Trains 4. The Incident 5. The Sky Moves Sideways 6. Strip the Soul 7. Blackest Eyes 8. Fear of a Blank Planet 9. Halo 10. Waiting Bubbling under: 11. Sleep Together 12. Arriving Somewhere but not Here I'd like to see whether my idea of good Porcupine Tree song is normal.

^Yes, good point about two lists. I could make another two threads for the two eras, but I might get done for spamming, and not many seem to have posted here, which is sad. Porcupine Tree have nearly dominated two decades in prog, the 90s and 00s, though Opeth, Dream Theatre and the other prog metal bands snatch it from them for the 90s.
