I Drive The Hearse is possibly my all-time favourite song, from anyone.

 

I know, it's their most well known song, but Trains gets me every time.

 

Lazarus gives me shivers, and Arriving Somewhere But Not Here is gorgeous <3

 

Don't Hate Me is great too. Really haunting.

 

Steven Wilson's "Index" is chillingly beautiful.

It will be played at my funeral.

Excellent choice!

 

My favorites would be

 

Heartattack In A Layby (easily the saddest song he's ever done IMO)

Buying New Soul

Dark Matter

Trains

Normal

Time Flies

Blackest Eyes

Trains

Lazarus

I think that Arriving Somewhere But Not Here is not only my favorite PT song, it's my favorite song, period.

 

It's simply...perfect.

It's a mix between "Drown with Me" and "Anesthetize". Favorite album? "Signify" wins, hands down.

Dark Matter is exceptionally good too

Steven has gone on record by saying Signify was their first great album. On the other hand, he loathes The Sky Moves Sideways because of the Pink Floyd comparisons.

Agreed! My personal favorite from "Signify" is Sever though; I think that's the best composed Porcupine Tree song from the pre-Gavin era.
