I prefer Porcupine Tree to my nose, but still I pick my nose a lot more often than I listen to Porcupine Tree.

That begs for a question, if you listen to Pink Floyd more often than you pick your nose, then how many hours a day do you listen to Pink Floyd? Furthermore, do you ever eat, drink or sleep?

I very much agree, just about everyone who I've shown PT has liked them. It won't be long until they have that HIT song and everyone notices them. Either way, I still voted Pink Floyd. They have a Song for each time of year.

Pink Floyd is the most overestimated band in ProgArchives however is better than PT. PT is the second most overestimed band here.

I really think it will be Porcupine "Who", not much longer. IMO, these guys are simply the hottest and best thing to happen to the music scene in quite some time.

This poll is a lot like asking:
"What's better, the invention of the wheel or the invention of the automobile?"
One had to happen before the other. Clearly I'd prefer an automobile over a wheel, but that doesn't mean that the automobile is a better invention. In fact, it could easily be argued that the wheel is by far the most important of the two.
Similarly, I like PT more, but I can't actually vote for them, because I see that as being like voting for the automobile. Unlike the PT vs. DT thread, which actually made a lot of sense as a comparison, I really don't see the point of this.

Good analogy. In this case, I'll just pick my nose.  I mean, it'll make me feel guilty if I had to vote one over the other.

 Couldn't have said it better myself. Punk Floyd gets the vote. Based on what each band has done so far [notice how I play nice by deluding you that Porcupine Tree might ever stand a chance for comparison?  ]

Well, the only problem is that DSOTM is one of my favorite albums ever. Other than that, PT has this poll in the bag. Their past 5 albums have been mindblowing and very innovative, and I enjoy Deadwing and Stupid Dream especially. I'll go with PT on this one.

Just listen to PT's "The Sky moves sideways" and you'll find out...
(the child in me says: they are more related than PT and DT at least....  )

Pink Floyd is a monster, a dinosaur, a god of music.
Porcupine Tree is on its way to become one, one of these days. (no pun intended).
Hope their new record company won't make them change even more....  |

I like Tormato, so shoot me! Every person in the world can't think the same.

PT is a great band, and they deserve to be succesful, but Pink Floyd is a musical giant, one of the best bands that ever saw the light of day.

Every dog has its day and PF have had theirs, now its PT's turn.
Porcupine Tree gets my vote.
