For me, the best opus of PT are their live DVDs.
Arriving somewhere.. and Anesthetize.

Perfecto. I wouldn't change a thing!

Got the feel that we have music taste quite similar, not only this band.

Get a room guys 

When I first got into PT, it was with the later albums. I liked the heavier tone and couldn't really digest the earlier spacier stuff. Then, I listened to the song, The Sky Moves Sideways, and loved it. That led me to appreciate more the earlier albums. The ones that still don't resonate with me are the middle albums but maybe I will come around to those in time.

^^ Actually, I was trying to flatter you, but it seems my flattery was wasted on you. Wink
That wasn't trolling, that was just me trying to be friendly, although it seems you're unable to tell the difference. LOL
 
By the way, Cristi, are you old enough to remember who that was in the black & white picture?

How can I possibly be a troll when you're the one who follows me around from post to post criticising just about everything I say? Anyway, I don't mind at all, because I'm honoured  to have such a devoted follower who follows me everywhere and reads all of my posts. Thanks!

I enjoy reading your album reviews too, because I agree with most of what you say. Keep up the good work. Thumbs Up

don't flatter yourself, your trolish posts bother me, seems not to bother other users who i guess choose to ignore you.

If I had to choose one album out of the list, I'd vote for Porcupine Tree's Neo-Prog album "Lightbulb Sun". Smile
 
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.

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.
