The greatest rock band of all time was Pink Floyd, at least that was my opinion for 35 years until I was introduced to Porcupine Tree in 2008.  Within 12 months, Pink Floyd dropped to No.2.
 
Steven Wilson is the greatest musician of his time ... and along with Gavin Harrison, Colin Edwin and Richard Barbieri (not to mention John Wesley), Porcupine Tree absolutely rules.  I can only beg that they produce some more music!
 
My top 15 Porcupine Tree cuts (I could give ya 100):
 
15. stars die
14. dot 3
13. last chance to evacuate planet earth (warszawa)
12. disappear (april 1997 demo)
11. cut ribbon (OK...sue me...not an actual PT song but it's close enough and it's going on my list!)
10. cheating the polygraph
09. a smart kid
08. the start of something beautiful
07. always never
06. shesmovedon (warszawa)
05. even less (extended version)
04. fear of a blank planet
03. russia on ice
02. arriving somewhere but not here
01. dark matter

Hard to do and haven't heard all of their music, but at the moment would be:
 
1. Shesmovedon
2. Heart Attack in a Layby
3. Arriving Somewhere but not here
4. A Smart Kid
5. Russia on Ice
6. Sentimental
7. Radioactive Toy
8. Buying New Soul
9. Anesthetize
10. Open Car
 
Honorable Mentions:
 
Way Out of Here (possibly pt's saddest song for me)
Collapse the Light into Earth
Dark Matter
.3
 
I seem to be the only person that doesn't love 'Trains'. Some reason it does nothing for me.

10. Way Out of Here
9. Collapse the Light Into Earth  (Love the simple beauty)
8. Normal  (Why isn't this on a 'proper' album?)
7. Heart Attack in A Lay By  (One of the saddest songs I've ever heard)
6. I Drive the Hearse (Why no love? Who needs heroin when you can listen to this?)
5. Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
4. Trains
3. Anesthetize (The vibe...the drums...MY God !)
2. Lazarus (This song amazes me)
1. Time Flies (I didn't expect to put it #1, but I couldn't put it behind anything else. It has everything.)

Is Steven Wilson planning on keeping Porcupine Tree alive, or is it all solo stuff from here on?

10. Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape

Never done a Porcupine Tree list, so this was quite difficult. 

Pretty much still this. 

Stop Swimming is underrated! Best song off of Stupid Dream. Smart Kid, Baby Dream, and Stranger by the Minute are up there too though of course..
Crushed like a rose in the riverflow.

Hi,
 
Unlike many here, I do not listen to "songs". I do not even know the names of the songs, but I can tell you that the whole album plays through ... I'm into the music and the band as a whole, not just their haircut!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

The first thing you said makes sense, but I have no idea but the haircut thing is even supposed to mean.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place
