FIRST BITCHES

One of the first posts I ever read on this forum was from you, and it was also the first post in a Porcupine Tree thread. I remember it well. You said, verbatim

"Steven Wilson is my God and gay lover. As I've said before, I would eat his poo."

I can't find the post because the two-year-old version of this thread has probably been deleted. Just trust me, you said it. And what a wonderful quote it is.

[Sigz]

  I vaguely remember that. Glad I make such an impression on newcomers.

[glaurung]

Trains is the greatest song ever.

BUT IT'S A 4 MINUTE POP SONG

PROG 4 LYF

[Ħ]

Anesthetize and Arriving Somewhere But Not Here are the best PT songs because they are the longest

[Bongasti]

So Trains just had to be mentioned right away again. IT'S NOT THAT GOOD!

[Sigz]

Heartattack in a Lay By and Start of Something Beautiful, mofos.

[Ryzee]

Hi guys my name's Ryan and I also like the band that is called Porcupine Tree that is a band that has a guy who is named Steven Wilson and he has glasses and is British.


I dunno I really have a thing for Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before It's Recycled but I guess if I was really going to choose my favorite PT song I guess I'd have to say....


(sigh)


Trains ok.  Trains.

[Gadough]

My favorite Porcupine Tree song is Drawing the Line.

Transmission IV. </thread>

[Ben_Jamin]

A Caterpillar crawled to me one day and said "Oh what the hell goes on inside your swollen head"

This has to be one of my favorite PT songs from what I've heard so far. Love the groove of it.

top 10 not in any specific order

Anesthetize
The Nostalgia Factory
Sleep Together
Heartattack in a Layby
Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled
The Start of Something Beautiful
Voyage 34
Drawing The Line
Synesthesia
Radioactive Toy

[Zantera]

Without no amount of irony or sarcasm, The Nostalgia Factory really is an awesome song. I really think they could spice it up and play it live now, without the helium-effect on the vocals, and maybe do something more prog with the instrumental-part.

[Xanthul]

No order

Mellotron scratch
Last chance to evacuate planet earth before it is recycled
Dark matter
Even less
Heartattack in a layby
Collapse the light into earth
Sentimental
Waiting

No Order

Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
Anesthetize
Lightbulb Sun
Russia on Ice
Deadwing
Mellotron Scratch
The Rest Will Flow
Fear of a Blank Planet

[Ħ]

Cool list there, but what do you find so great about "The Rest Will Flow"?

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

No order:

Dark Matter
Lips of Ashes
Gravity Eyelids
The Sky Moves Sideways (both phases, can't choose)
Moonloop
Mellotron Scratch
Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled
The Nostalgia Factory
Burning Sky
Sleep Together

Also, honourable mentions are Don't Hate Me, Baby Dream in Cellophane, and A Smart Kid. All three were incredibly close to making it.

[Mosh]

Blackest Eyes>You

[Jirpo]

Cool list there, but what do you find so great about "The Rest Will Flow"?

I find it extremely catchy and I love the ending and chorus. Seems a little sad to me but for some reason cheers me up. PT's poppy side at its best! That was just a real quick ranking, others would be pretty close like A Smart Kid, Stranger by the Minute, Baby Dream in Cellophane, Sky Moves Sideways, Last Chance, Feel So Low, shesmovedon, the rest of FOABP and LBS etc. Its hard to pick with Porkie Tree but that was just what came into my head

[Mladen]

Not really in order:

Anesthetize
The Start of something beautiful
Fear of a blank planet
The Sound of muzak
Dark matter
Even less
Lightbulb sun
Way out of here
Halo
Blackest eyes

[Zydar]

Top 10, chronological order:

Even Less
Shesmovedon
Buying New Soul
Blackest Eyes
Heartattack In a Layby
Deadwing
Lazarus
Arriving Somewere But Not Here
So Called Friend
Fear Of A Blank Planet

[Zantera]

Mine changes a lot, but something like this: (chronologically)

Always Never
The Sky Moves Sideways (Part 1)
Dark Matter
Even Less (Full version)
Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled
Hatesong
Trains
Drown With Me
Mellotron Scratch
Sleep Together

[Nekov]

Trains is PT best song.
