Why do these guys get so much RP airplay when all sound they like is a rehash of 80's Yes?

Humanoids? Well, at least we've finally figured out just exactly who constitute the bulk of Floyd fandom.

If I hear "Wish You Were Here" one more time, I will plotz. Never thought that would become a "button" song (ie, makes me reach for the "off" button) but there ya go.

Say WHAT ??? When the last humanoid on earth talks of Pink Floyd in endearing
tones, PT will have long been a lost memory. While I like PT , they just don't have
the genius of invention, creation, attraction, pioneering, and a merge of their music with
the minds of hundreds of millions of music loves all over the globe. PF is an institution and
a damn hard act  to follow .. So I'm giving your critique a 1, if you repent and purge yourself
of heresy there may be hope for you —-The gods of music are forgiving but their tolerance 
wears thin when words of a heathen smack like a kick to the shins. REPENT  I TELL YOU @!!{#Meditate}

One can hear a lot of influences in PT's music, but ultimately, they have forged their own unique sound.  Great stuff.

Prodigal definitely has a bittersweet edge to it   {#Yes}    (My fav used to always be Gravity Eyelids, but you know how favorites shift and shimmy). The guitar in this one is SO good...

There's a common theme to some of PT's music:  nostalgia — a celebration of a life well lived.

Personally I dont get this band. It's an ok band, I actually got this and another one of their CD's (cant remember which one) and I've tried to do the "listen 20 times in a row and you'll get it" but no...to me there's something uhmmm..lame..about them. Maybe its the singer.

I KNOW this is my favorite PT album. Although they are all good, some are great, some are greater, and one is the best.

And this is the best. Seminal work.{#High-five}

My Dearest Scott From Wyoming-    How I have missed you...   Not really, but as always you provoke a response.  hehhehehehehehe   I understand your point-  as far as modern music goes, only Rap and Country leave me in the dust. I just absolutely despise either of those genres of "music".  Musicianship matters to me but it's not the only thing I factor in when evaluating a piece of music, ie- I love the B-52s (they play alarm clocks and toy pianos among other things) but really dislike Dream Theatre (noodly fret wankers). Go figure...

That IS Lasse Hoile   PTs long time collaborator on all things multi media. The band affectionately refers to him as the "Yeti". Apparently he is a big guy  hehehe...  I assure you, no Roman statuary was harmed in the photographing of this album cover.

The riff does sound a bit like Led Zeppelin. But the song reminded me more of Pink Floyd (specifically the song "Brain Damage")! Must be that chorus and chord progression...

"The lunatic is on the grass..."

EDIT: I also just noticed that this song has reminded people of a lot of different artists! Pink Floyd, ELO, Led Zeppelin... I think that's a darn good sign for Porcupine Tree!
 

I'm thinking the Sheep track off of Animals, how it closes with that over-the-top flourish.
