BigPleb: Porcupine Tree Ranked

BigPleb 12.20.13	Fire away diehard PT fans!
Necrotica 12.20.13	Jamie's gonna be all over this one
Mongi123 12.20.13	Oh boy am I butthurt! Nah but 4 and 7 are tied for 1 for me. 9 and 10 are where they should be.
BigPleb 12.20.13	Hope he doesn't tear shit up, he's so critical!
mandan 12.20.13	3 lists is a lot for 1 day dude.
Necrotica 12.20.13	No, I meant he's gonna love this one :P Mainly because of the low ranking of their later works
Chortles 12.20.13	nah you've got it right buddy late ptree is shitty for the most part
menawati 12.20.13	top 5 are the best 5 hurrah
Necrotica 12.20.13	Stupid Dream's in my bottom 3
BigPleb 12.20.13	Sweet mena and Chorts. @danny I know dude, the mind wanders :/
menawati 12.20.13	yeh theres a real split, some people much prefer absentia and onwards and others prefer what came before
conesmoke 12.20.13	cool ranking, Stupid dream, then signify for me tho prawn.
BigPleb 12.20.13	I find their psych stuff to be far more interesting and inspired tbh. Everything post-Lightbulb mostly feels pretty watered down and proggy for the sake of being prog. Plus, Wilson's lyrics are pretty diabolical at times.
LilLioness 12.20.13	Stupid Dream has the stupidly catchy songs I listen to the most. Seriously, "Pure Narcotic" is easily my most listened to track.
Chortles 12.20.13	totally jizzed over absentia when i first heard it a few years back but then i realized how boring it is
Snake. 12.20.13	7 is too. fucking. low.
menawati 12.20.13	signify is the slowgrowiest, it will slowly move up in your ranking and be no 1 eventually
BigPleb 12.20.13	@Lioness that's why it's the highest ranked out of modern day PT dude.
mandan 12.20.13	@Necro: Jamie's gonna say something like "2 is 1".
conesmoke 12.20.13	"signify is the slowgrowiest, it will slowly move up in your ranking and be no 1 eventually" true true.
LilLioness 12.20.13	I do think In Absentia is one of the better ones. Sky is right where it belongs, though.
Mongi123 12.20.13	Idk dude Signify was an immediate 5 for me. Lightbulb Sun actually took some growing for me.
BigPleb 12.20.13	Signify rules hard.
menawati 12.20.13	"Everything post-Lightbulb mostly feels pretty watered and proggy" well sky moves is a floyd thing but so good doesnt matter really, listen to voyage 34 its decent
BigPleb 12.20.13	Edited my comment dude, didn't make much sense ha.
DamnVanne 12.20.13	Signify is king
Chortles 12.20.13	still haven't listened to signify or sky i'm such a poser
PunchforPunch 12.20.13	nah its just porcupine tree
Chortles 12.20.13	true
menawati 12.20.13	non essential coffee table music really
DoubtGin 12.20.13	lol no
SitarHero 12.20.13	Agree to disagree [with list].
Necrotica 12.20.13	Yeah, 8 is my second favorite PT album
X12Celtics3 12.20.13	The only part of this list that I agree with are 9 and 10... but aside from those two albums I love their whole discography, so my own list would probably change on a day to day basis.
Masochist 12.20.13	PT is super hard to rank for me. At any point, I could love one album and be tired of another, but a few weeks later that album I was tired of is on constant repeat again. I don't know which album is #1 at the moment...but I can tell you that it's probably either 'Stupid Dream', 'Lightbulb Sun', or 'In Absentia'. 'Fear of Blank Planet' isn't #1, but it's either 2, 3 or 4. I dunno. It doesn't help that every time I decide that "XXXXX" is my favorite PT album, I then think of how much I like "Russia On Ice" from LS, or "Blackest Eyes" from IA, or "Piano Lessons"...who said it? "Stupid Dream has the stupidly catchy songs I listen to the most." Piano Lessons is that for me. Fuck that song. Really, I just love the band. Talking about them is awesome. Listening to them is awesome. Seeing other people rank them is awesome.
aircycle 12.20.13	this is pretty close to my opinion; lightbulb sun and stupid dream are the best and deadwing is good, in absentia has some great songs but overall meh, never liked signify much, sky moves sideways is cool, up the downstair has fadeaway but dat xmii live version is better so ya that's my story
BigPleb 12.20.13	Preach it, Masochist!
jtswope 12.20.13	i love you for 1. wish 7 was higher though. but all PT is great m/
DrHouseSchuldiner 12.20.13	Really good list and i agree with most of it m/
JamieTwort 12.20.13	2 > 3 > 4 > the rest. If you were to bump Stupid Dream down to 4 (don't really care for that album much) this ranking would be almost petect. Although I'm not sure I'd have 10 last as it's not as bad as The Incident.
BigPleb 12.20.13	Ah well, at least you sorta agree brother ;]
zakalwe 12.20.13	Gave 2 a first ever listen on this mornings commute. Absolute quality!
JamieTwort 12.20.13	Check out 3, zak.
zakalwe 12.20.13	Will do JT, I think PTs' earlier stuff may be a bit of a treasure trove for these ears.
JamieTwort 12.20.13	Yeah their psych stuff is so good. I wish they'd stuck with that style a bit longer instead of going all alt-prog on Stupid Dream.
BigPleb 12.20.13	Stupid Dream is fucking good, but that and Sky Moves Sideways are interchangeable for me.
Artuma 12.20.13	jamie-approved list but yeah 5 and 6 are 1 and 2 tho
BigPleb 12.20.13	Na they are not but its fine man, thanks for the rec.
NeroCorleone80 12.20.13	4 > 3
JamieTwort 12.20.13	Stupid Dream is definitely better than anything that came after it but it's the album where they started to move towards the style I don't like and Wilson's annoying songwriting started to creep in.
BigPleb 12.20.13	Akerfeldt > Wilson agreed Jamie, I know what you are getting at.
eloimayano 12.20.13	Put 1 after 6 and we're good.
KILL 12.20.13	sweet rank, stupid might be my fav too but damn its hard
