Porcupine Tree. I'm trying to cut down on bread.

^ yea, I know, I know. I do these things at work and sometimes my fingers work faster that my brain so you end up with "Spock's Bread"

I've just seen it - Spock's Bread

Spock's Beard isn't bad but PT takes this one easily

Back on page one I said both but I think I've shifted more to PT. Ironically, I'm listening to SB's Noise Floor right now. Haven't been able to grok that album yet although it sounds better on this listen.
Anyway, I've been digging into PTs earlier stuff and I love it. Signify is mostly very good. The Sky Moves Sideways is FANTASTIC! Coma Divine is pretty amazing as well. Up The Downstair looks very promising as well.

I love early Porcupine Tree and really dig what came afterwards.
Up The Downstair, The Sky Moves Sideways, Metanoia, Voyage 34, Signify and the two live albums Spiral Circus and Coma Divine are the highlights for me. Just listened to quite a few of these whilst entertaining old friends that dropped by my apartment for New Year’s eve. Wonderful trip down memory lane.

Porcupine Tree have always been my favourite Neo-Prog band.
I'm just heading down to my local supermarket now to see if they have any Spock's bread.  Edited by Psychedelic Paul - January 22 2020 at 10:22 |

SB is my favorite underdog artist, always struggling with day jobs but are no match for PT, I'm afraid.

Don´t like either. If I had to choose, it would be PT.

The mention of Spock's Beard (or Spock's Bread) has just reminded me that Frank Beard is ironically the only member of ZZ Top without a beard.

I wonder if he ironically chose not to grow it on purpose

If I remember right, all three men grow beard when they have hiatus in seventies (without knowing everybody´s doing that). But because Hill´s & Gibbons beard was so much greater, Frank decided to cut it away. Anyway I think he have had quite great moustaches.

It has to be Porcupine Tree for me seeing as I'm listening to their Warszawa Live album right now.

Very easy, PT ! Spock's Beard has not the level to compete with Porcupine Tree. Edited by PhideauxFan - January 25 2020 at 02:45 |

The Beard and it's not even close. The music is more interesting and especially the vocals are far superior.
