Suddenly, Porcupine Tree

I have always been a Beetles, Stones, Springsteen, Young etc fan. You could throw in Yes, ELO, Pretenders, Dead and many more. You get the idea. I bought a porcupine tree album a few yrs ago gave it a spin and that was that. Did not get it. Recently I gave it another spin. Now suddenly I own everything they have done and starting on solo stuff. My favorite but not limited to, "stupid dreams". I now can not get enough of this band. What happened. Did I just get older? Like a "lightbulb sun" going off in my head. If you do not know this band get to know them. Anything I am missing? Other favorite albums of Porcupine? Other bands similar experience with?

It's Beatles. Not Beetles. It's only been 50 plus years.

"Up the Downstair" a double album is a prog rockers dream album. Great heady band.

I'm shocked nobody has mentioned Steven Wilson's solo effort from last year The Raven That Refused To Sing....a modern Prog classic and the best thing he has ever done

I enjoy PT and some of Steve Wilson's solo stuff but to be honest on his solo work he borrows way to much from other prog classic bands.On his Grace for Drowning cd on the 2nd disc he rips off some of King Crimsons music from Lizard. It's bound to happen I guess.

Up until last year I'd seen the name but never heard the music. A friend on Facebook posted a song on youtube. I now have most of there CD's. Qdrome, I agree with your comments about Steve Wilson's solo stuff.
