Two absolutely different bands, beggining their careers in the end of eighties. Which is your favourite?

Neither are among my favorites, but DT is more consistent for me.

Either of these are among my faves, but I most definitely prefer Neither.

This kind of question makes my head implode because I like them just about equally, so I abstain from voting.

Personally, Porcupine Tree - I think they've produced the most varied & consistently high quality material over the years, whereas to my mind, DT have stagnated in recent years from being a pinnacle of progressive metal, to just another clever heavy metal band.

Just my little ol' opinion, ya understand

The Tree connects with me more.

I prefer the whole discography of DT, but Porcupine Tree have the best albums. But I say Dream theater

If you look at the two of them right now it's a no brainer, Tree all the way. But one cannot forget what DT has done in the past.
I couldn't pick one to save my life.

I know only two albums of each band but Dream Theater rests too much on the onanism, I prefer Porcupine Tree without a doubt Smile

Dream Theater, though given what they've been putting out for the last 10 years I was very tempted to say neither.
