07.28.07 | I truly love PT, but you have pointed out almost every song I don't really like.
1 is devine
9, 11, 14, 15, 20 and 21 are near pefection
8, 10, 16, 25 are great
The other songs are OK or just bad ... |

07.28.07 | If this is in order i would say 12-14 should be higher up. My top five PT is:
Anesthetize
Arriving Somewhere but not here
Deadwing
Trains
Blackest Eyes |
Altmer
07.28.07 | this isn't in any particular order except the first couple |
UpperDecker
07.28.07 | So I only own Deadwing and The Sky Moves Sideways but Arriving Somewhere But Not Here definitely is my favorite song. Its perfect in pretty much every way you look (hear) at it. |

07.28.07 | Fear of a Blank Planet, Anesthetize, and My Ashes are some kind of awesome |

07.29.07 | - Blackest Eyes is Porcupine Tree's most over-rated song. It really sucks compared to some of their other material. I wouldn't even put it top 25.
- The 2005 version of Shesmovedon is sublime and deserves to be on this list.
- Lazarus is probably too high at number 3. Good song but nothing special.
- The Sound of Muzak is good but gets tired after repeated lessons. Too high at number 11.
- I'd put Chloroform and So Called Friend on this list, replacing them with the boring Open Car and the absolutely horrible My Ashes.
- Props to you for not putting the song Shallow on here. That song sucks.
- Props to you again for putting Trains at number 1. One discovers new things every time one hears that song.
-Way Out Of Here is awesome and deserves to be higher than Sentimental.

Dude, shut the hell up. This is HIS list of what he thinks are PT's best. If you want to say "This is song is better" or "this song sucks" make your own list. God, I hate when people do that...acting like they know more about PT than anyone else does, or more disrespectively, the OP.
Anyway...sorry, that gets on my nerves. You can't go wrong with any of these songs man, ALL PT is great, IMO. I definately would have put Stop Swimmin up there, but, I'm glad you put A Smart Kid on there...I think people forget about that song...its some of my fave lyrics SW ever wrote.
Kudos! |

07.29.07 | Not bad at all. Just needs .3 and Prodigal. |
Doppelganger
07.29.07 | Great list, but where's Hate Song and Baby Dream In Cellophane? |
Hewitt
07.29.07 | Very good list, there are so many great PT songs. At a quick glance I probably would have put Shesmovedon a little higher up, however. |
Altmer
07.29.07 | 1. there isn't room for everything
2. this is the 2005 version of shesmovedon |

in response to IvorTheEngineDriver
I don't know half of Porcupine Tree's material, and I didn't say at any point that I did. I'm relatively new to PT.
In case you didn't notice, I also gave him credit for some decisions on songs he made. Something that obviously went unnoticed by you.
And to say "you can't go wrong with any of these songs", well blow me down let's just all say "YES I AGREE!" for everyones list. The cold truth is that at some point, someone was going to disagree with some songs on this list. Good lord, whats wrong with a few suggestions?
Altmer, all of the suggestions in my above post are my opinions only, and i'm sure it's water off a ducks back to you anyway. I'm stoked to see you included the 2005 version of shesmovedon, it's even better than the original I reckon. |
Altmer
07.29.07 | yeah I just haven't heard chloroform and so-called friend |

When you say "Blackest Eyes is the most over-rated and really sucks compared to other material" or "Lazarus is too high at #3" "replace the 'boring' Open Car and the 'absolutely horrible' My Ashes"...that isn't suggestions, that is critiqing (sp?). When you critique someone, especially on a "favorite" lists...makes you look like an elitist. You can make suggestions, which is being a good debator. But basically saying "You are stupid for putting this song here instead of this song"...makes you look like an ass and an elitist.
This is a pet peeve of mine, I'm sorry...I just think its rude to tell someone that their opinion is wrong when they are just writing about their favorite songs. This is HIS post, not yours. If you disagree with his list, then MAKE YOUR OWN! Dont go in his list and tell him what you would have done. There have been PLENTY of lists out there that I dont agree with, but I say "to each his own". Think about that |
