My favorite Porcupine Tree album, my favorite is either Arriving Somewhere But Not Here or The Start of Something Beautiful...I'll vote for the latter since it has no votes...for shame. Tongue

Probably their best album. It's the only one that has grown on me this hard. Steven Wilson is god.


My sentiments exactly, even though Arriving Somewhere... is a beast of a song

I'll chose Open Car.  Shallow and Arriving are up there as well.

Open Car, the extended live version is so much more amazing.

Out of the three Porcupine Tree albums I have, Deadwing is my favorite.  The title track and Arriving Somewhere Not Here are probably my two favorites, but since the latter is burying all the others, I voted for the title.

Glass Arm Shattering is among my favourite (and might be THE favourite) Porcupine Tree songs. It is pure beauty, heart felt, new sounding, yet it manages to stay "non-sappy". It is the first track since Cadence And Cascade that manages to make me feel the way it does.

I went for The Start of something Beautiful this time.
Interestingly Deadwing and Fear of a Blank Planet are my wifes favourite PT albums. She would vote for Open Car from this poll - her favourite song.

None of 'em are really amazing. I'll take maybe "Arriving Somewhere..." . The b-side "Half-Light" is much better than any of the shorter songs here.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Open Car is my favourite PT song with Arriving Somewhere coming in second. A very strong album in its entirety.
It's on PA!

Arriving Somewhere but not Here is one of their best songs ever, the best from Deadwing by far

For me this is easily PT's best modern album (2000 onwards).

I absolutely love the title track, and I voted for that.

I love this album so much. All songs are top class. But for me, Mellotron Scratch, and GAS stood out, as well as the title track.
