Porcupine Tree but it was a close call!

Yup. I was never impressed by PT but many times impressed by Marillion, especially with this album run.

PT rules here

if you are taking out Script the it would have been fairer to take out IA and add The Incident. The poll would have been a lot closer then!

The three PT albums are MASTERPIECES. The Marilliln ones are good too but they never touched me the way the PT ones did. It’s 5 star albums vs 4 star albums for me

Porcupine Tree does nothing for me.

Don't like Blank Planet that much, but In Absentia and Deadwing are masterpieces. Never warmed to Marillion.

Same here. As much as I love Marillion it's PT for me.

Maybe In Absentia, Deadwing, Fear of a Blank Planet - P.T. But it was a tough decision.

Porcupine Tree.

If Script had been one of Marillion's three, I would have given it more thought..
