It might just be an experimental sandwich ... or maybe even a RIO/Avant-Prog sandwich!

 I understand your point but I wouldn't put Porcupine Tree in the same category as say Spocks Beard. PT are far superior, although some of their recent material is more "mainstream".
TMV & Radiohead - in my Opinion they just Piece together noises and effects and call it progressive and the effects make no sense to the music or story line.  An example of a good effect is when Geddy Lee sings Lenses Polarize and polarizing sound follows immediately. There music sounds complicated, but when you throw effects, melodys, tempo changes and stops together on a whim it's becomes chaotic more than complicated. So you are just mistaking Complicated for chaotic. Radiohead have some great tunes - actually so do TMV amidst all the "noise".
 
ps of the list, I voted Queen and The Who - some may make an intelectual argument for them being classed as prog, but my instinct - right or wrong - says they are not!!

Don't say that - I've seen people eat worse combinations.

Wait, weren't you all that far from being one of these people?

My review even states quite clearly that - and I quote - "it's not Prog at all".

I'm not sure how you deduced from that that I nearly called it a masterpiece of Prog.

Maybe I should have typed it in capitals or something?

I surely agree with you....I can't understand who voted Dream Theater accusing them to be not progressive....I personally consider these statements as bullsh*t....
 
Anyway I'm a great Queen fan, but they're not progressive....I mean they also recorded tracks such as Innuendo or Who Wants To Live Forever which could be considered as prog....but they're not a progressive band...
 
I don't find prog Radiohead.

You don't understand Porcupine Tree at all.

Steve Wilson has never had to try to sound like any other band. I can honestly say that of all the big-time individual producers, Steve Wilson is one of the most diverse and organized of all. I put him up there with Todd Rundgren, Trent Reznor, and Alan Parsons. When The Sky Moves Sideways came out, it was revolutionary; there had never been a band that mixed moody and atmospheric tones with metal riffs backed by calming ambience. The entire point of PT is that it's 'soft meta' (if that makes sense).

Each album has a theme that is carried; one is about innocence stolen from youth, one is the loss of a loved one, one is about being apathetic toward life, one is about the coming of age and the classic maturity factor that everybody pretends they've always had...

And the sounds are very diverse; comparing Coma Divine to In Absentia to Lightbulb Sun to Deadwing is nearly impossible, save the fact that they've got the common British modalities and all carry with them some sort of sense of innocence.

Ok... my work is done... I took care of DT losing this poll.... and I'll do it again (if we have the chance to vite 30 times, why not?)
 
Please administrator, this poll is just a waste of bandwidth, there are other useless polls (I myself have started quite a few) but at least you could vote only ONCE... here I by myself put Radiohead in the first place... please.
