Presto-digitation Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 it took me some time to get into them. It wasn't instantaneous by any stretch. Now I love them. Some things still require nurturing, which is increasingly harder to do for a society of downloaders, quick browsers, etc. Often the things that jump out to me right away suck in two months because there was little substance behind the "hook."

Tony R Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I can understand people hating Wilson's vocals and lyrics but they are all excellent musicians with Gavin Harrison the crowning glory. Fantastic band! Love all their albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Porcupine Tree took forever to click for me. Now that they have, they're one of my favorite bands. Lightbulb Sun is one of my favorite albums ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightbulb Sun and Stupid Dream are both really good, IMHO. Especially Stupid Dream. Stranger by the Minute is a very atypical PT song, but it is one of my favorites.
