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....  )

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.

 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?  ]

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.

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.

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

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.

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?

So you base your decision on popularity? Britney Spears is also one of the biggest names in modern music so do you think she is better than PT? And despite their popularity, the Stones and Beatles weren't all that great either. Why say 'Porcupine Who' here?  This band has made some really great music and deserves to be better known by the general public than they are. My vote goes to PT. Simply put, better than all of the above

Pink Floyd music scares me into practicing more. That's the only good thing about it. PT by default.

that's very easy, PF ofcourse, PT are just not good enough to top PF, nor will they ever be. They already had their peak IMO now they're just going downhill

 Yes it is!!
