| Porcupine Tree ranked
These guys were one of the most important bands of my formative years and I continue to listen to them pretty actively pushing on 30. Recently I've been thinking again where I'd rank each album and how much that has changed through the years. Admittedly, for as much as I am a fan of the band, the first 2 albums never clicked with me and I really haven't given them enough of a chance, having listened to them maybe only once or twice, so that's why they're last on the list. That's also why this is a somewhat lazy list. Also, all of this is obviously very subjective and relative to how I'm feeling about their stuff for the last couple of years. Cheers! | | 1 |  | Porcupine Tree

10.26.21 | RIP one of the best bands of our time | Djang0
10.26.21 | Lightbulb Sun at #1 is super cool and an opinion I humor from time to time. Stupid Dream should never be outside of their top 3-4 imo tho. Nice list | JDubb
10.26.21 | 1-3, and Nil Recurring, are classics!!! Also dig 6 more than most. | StormChaser
10.26.21 | Thanks Django. FoaBP is probably their best, but Lightbulb is just so fucking fun
I love Nil Recurring, thought about putting it here probs between 5 and 6, but then I would have to consider the other EPs too and I just said nah
| Flugmorph
10.26.21 | respectable ranking, haven't jammed this discography in years. | StormChaser
10.27.21 | Thanks lads
you really should give at least some of these a spin Flug | Flugmorph
10.27.21 | wdym i have spun all of these many times | Kompys2000
10.27.21 | 8>4>2>3>1>idc about the rest lol
Don't find Lightbulb Sun particularly exciting apart from The Rest Will Flow which I genuinely think is one of the most perfect pop songs of the 2000s | StormChaser
10.27.21 | wdym i have spun all of these many times - forgot to put an "again" in that sentence somewhere
@komp - even the highlights I've listed here from Lightbulb Sun don't do much for you?
| parksungjoon
10.27.21 | disrespectable ranking | zakalwe
10.27.21 | Just to add some perspective I absolutely love this band and I’m in my forties. I hadn’t even heard of ‘em until my late twenties.
6 is bloody underrated.
4 is overrated
7 is 1
1 is brilliant | Flugmorph
10.27.21 | hah boomer | Flugmorph
10.27.21 | agreed with 7 being 1 | OceanKudah
10.27.21 | Please stop molesting the cats, thanks,
This warning stage 1,
I'll come back later,.. | Icebloom
10.27.21 | 7 is 1
And Nine Cats and Radioactive Toy are the highlights from 10 | zakalwe
10.27.21 | Radioactive Toy is top 15 porcupine tree. | parksungjoon
10.27.21 | probably yeah actually | TalonsOfFire
10.27.21 | For me it'd be something like 4>8>5>3>7>2>1>9>6>10
Even though I love FoaBP and LS, they'd be even better if the former had different/less lyrics and metal, and if Buying New Soul and Cure for Optimism were on the latter, instead of Four Chords. | StormChaser
10.27.21 | whoa lots of Signify love over here, nice
Zak I agree with 4 being overrated
Signify is about as good as any of their top 5 but it's not for every mood for me
I had a hard time picking between 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 honestly. You can toss those around afaic | artiswar
10.27.21 | I miss this band so much. The Incident is underrated and it kills me they stopped after that | Kompys2000
10.27.21 | @stormchaser Yeah even shesmovedon and russia on ice and stuff are just sort of unremarkable and plain imo, not bad by any means but they never fully hook me in | teamster
10.30.21 | Looks like you will need to add an eleventh album to this list. Holy fucking shit. It’s actually happening. | GhandhiLion
10.30.21 | 7,8,9,10 are probably top 4 | porcupinetheater
10.30.21 | Horrible rank, ban please | StormChaser
10.31.21 | @teamster yeah it looks like it is lol, except in that leaked press photo there's no Colin Edwin which is a big sad
@porcupine i'm sorry i failed one of your namesake bands, I shall go seppuku now | Koris
10.31.21 | Solid list, although I would've put Signify much higher | artiswar
11.01.21 | Kind of a spicy mixed ranking. I would swap 2/3 with 4/5 but I get it |
