1. Fear of a Blank Planet (2007) 2. Deadwing (2005) 3. In Absentia (2002) 4. Signify (1996) 5. The Sky Moves Sideways (1995) 6. Stupid Dream (1999) 7. The Incident (2009) 8. Lightbulb Sun (2000) 9. Up the Downstairs (1993) 10. On the Sunday of Life (1992) Signify's been as high as 1 for me. So have the other top 4. I used to like Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun a lot more, but they didn't age so well.

I don't really know how to rank them, but my favourite is not even a studio album. It's Coma Divine.

HI,
Let's see .... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10. The order for them? ... I forgot. I'm not sure I listened to them because of ratings ... I liked the music, pretty much in all of the albums, and will not rank one over the other. I do find, subjectively, that "The Incident" is a much better album than we give it credit for, however, I have had a thought or two, that it would have been a much better SINGLE ALBUM, and not a double one, which would take out a song or two (save it for a "remix"!!!) to make a stronger album. Sadly, it has killed the group ... and I think that SW has found fresher waters by himself!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Interesting. Never really thought much about it. 1. On The Sunday Of Life... 2. Stupid Dream 3. Signify 4. Up The Downstair 5. Lightbulb Sun 6. In Abenstia 7. The Sky Moves Sideways 8. Deadwing 9. Fear Of A Blank Planet 10. The Incident that feels about right. Voyage 34, Coma Divine, and Arriving Somewhere... would rank fairly high if nonstudio albums were included.

My personal favourite is the 2 CD compilation "Stars Die". I only have two Porcupine Tree studio albums on CD: "In Absentia" & "Deadwing".

Hard to definitively rank all of them, but at least my top 3 would be:
1. Fear of a Blank Planet 2. In Absentia 3. Lightbulb Sun Then the middle tier would include Sky, Deadwing, Signify, and Up the Downstairs... With the low tier featuring On the Sunday, Stupid Dream, and The Incident. They never made a bad album though. |

I've heard them all and remember none of them. Is that bad?

If I had to choose one album out of the list, I'd vote for Porcupine Tree's Neo-Prog album "Lightbulb Sun".
I'm currently unable to list the ten albums in order of preference, as I've only listened to about half of those albums on the list all the way through so far.

Amazingly, when we go over into the 2020's, Porcupine Tree's music will have spanned five decades, beginning in the late 1980's, even though I still think of them as a relatively "new" band.
