Obiously Blackfield if you haven't already heard them. Marillion (later releases - try Marbles or Brave) Tool has got some similar vibes as PT ca Deadwing Opeth Radiohead Peter Gabriel (try the album Up) |

The Pineapple Thief and Riverside are indeed worth a hearing. Airbag have a Porcupine Tree/Pink Floyd feel - so you might find some Steven Wilson echoes. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

Try Weavin' Stilson. I hear he's good, if a little erratic. ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

I also really like his Storm Corrosion album with Mikael Akerfeldt, though I can't really comment on how similar it is to his solo stuff as I don't have any  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

^Was it the recipe for gold? If so then please pm me asap. I came here to recommend Airbag, Pineapple Thief, Lunatic Soul and Gadi Caplan. I see the latter hasn't been mentioned yet...which is odd seeing as he is the finest of the lot imho. Steven Wilson meets a young David Gilmour and decides to add some melodic jazz rock to the already breezy mix: ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Wilson is unique. I don't know why some people hate him so much! Grace For Drowning is one of the best albums, really! ------------- https://gamecrazyprofessional.weebly.com/ |

^I actually like his music...been a fan of Porcupine Tree probably when you were still in diapers. ;) My point is that he sounds more like others than they sounding like him since he has borrowed styles from many before him. Indeed he has said as much himself in interviews over the last few years about bands that he likes and influenced him.

^I have to agree Steve....he did some nice things with PT....his solo things don't have the same appeal for me though there are some nice tracks on Raven and Hand. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

DeeExpus could be worth a quick look (especially the Half Way Home album). Big PT fans and they even had an enjoyable homage with PT Tee on the album - with a killer introduction that demands playing at 11 on the volume when the full guitar riff first kicks in at 1:38! ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |
