Ranking The Porcupine Tree Albums

[@SteveAuger2021]

Love your enthusiasm. PT is so great.

[@TheProgCorner]

Thank you!!!!!!!

[@perdegone1080]

Just love your energy Scott! Regards!

[@TheProgCorner]

Thanks!!!!🙏

[@RhymeSignatures]

Signify that high? HEEEEEECK yeah!! I love that one!

[@relativetimeworx8459]

Signify was a real breakthrough. "Porkypine" Tree evolved from their early work to make a statement that they were here to stay. Wilson's persistent dark, melancholy undertones were embedded here and forever remained. This kicks off my preferred era of PTree music - Signify, Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun, In Absentia. Beyond this, the band evolves to a more metalish soundscape which I find "significantly" less special or endearing.

[@TigerMtnKing]

Love the shirt Scot! He's our only hope! The song 'Dignity' is awesome!🤩

[@TheProgCorner]

That’s right!!!!

[@mez2112]

Love the shirt Scott!!!! It may be the only thing that makes sense at this point :) I like your list for sure

I had to rep the LORD as people were making me out to be some giant lefty. I am neither Left nor Right. I am the property of Jesus and he doesn’t vote.

[@mez2112]

@@TheProgCorner I am with you on that! Got to say my list is a tad different but I love peoples perspectives as it can help how I may hear an album. My list would be: 11 - On Sunday 10 - Up the Downstairs 9 - Sky Moves Sidesways 8 - Signify 7 C/C (was pretty disappointed with this one outside of a couple songs) 6 - (The rest of these for me are pinnacle) The Incident 5 -Lightbulb Sun 4 Stupid Dream 3 In Absentia 2 - Deadwing 1 - Fear of Blank Planet. Have to give an honorable mention to Recordings in this too even though it isnt technically and album of its own. Have a good one!!

Ive just got into porcupine tree (thanks to previous videos you posted) so this video is very welcome. I only have 'fear of a blank planet' and 'in absentia' which i like alot.

[@larrysmith5249]

Great video. I have a hard time with PT. I need to keep trying. The Sky Moves Sideways is easily my favorite. Special mention goes to the Voyage 34 compilation.

[@TheProgCorner]

I almost included that in the ranking!!!

[@PJprog]

Scot... PT. What a journey Steven Wilson and this baby are on. I do like The Incident a lot , The Sky moves sideways is just pipped by Deadwing however for me. An incredible outfit... great video man !!! 😍

For sure!!!

[@darcyska]

I love me some Porcupine Tree - I love how there feels like such a mastery as the band moves along and progressses from the more Floyd and spacerock early works to the more alternative sounds and into the heavier progrock. My first was 'Signify,' so it holds a special place - I think In Absentia is my no. 1, but one that seems to climb the ranks more and more for me is 'Sky Moves Sideways.' - It feels sort of like Wilson's take on Wish you Were Here.

[@TheProgCorner]

Absolutely!!!!

[@iceclimbers22]

So happy to see that shirt Scott and know that you're a fellow believer, although I suspected it from your content and the way you act. You are a kind, genuine person and that comes through in the way you talk. It's evident you've been changed by the Grace of God. Love your channel and this was a great ranking. I personally have a soft spot for Stupid Dream as it was my first exposure to PT so it's high on my list, but otherwise my ranking is very similar.

[@TheProgCorner]

I appreciate that. As a Christian I will (hopefully) never deny my beliefs but I try not to push it too much on a channel about music. I think if you are truly saved then people see it. They detect it.

[@canadianstudmuffin]

You have the 2nd best hair on KZbin after Phil McCracken! Enjoyed your ranking. I just could never get totally into Porcupine Tree and ended up selling the CDs I did have, but I love Steven Wilson's solo career.

[@TheProgCorner]

I prefer his solo albums too, Phil.

[@paulayers1111]

I’m the opposite. Never got interested in his solo stuff

[@progrocktommy]

Loved your ranking. The Incident is one of my favorites. Some of the other albums I've never heard of...

[@MudFlanagan]

Excellent rankings. Can't really argue. Personally my fav is Lightbulb Sun. It has more diversity. I play it most along with FOABP. Great band. Cheers Scot.

[@TheProgCorner]

Such a great record (even if I did suggest that Gavin plays on it…I’m an idiot.)

[@PaIaeoCIive1684]

Great review Scot. I love the Tree but can't rank 'em today as I haven't listened to them for a while. Top Five includes In Absentia, Fear of a Blank Planet, Signify and Lightbulb Sun. Since I love The Raven That Refused To Sing I hope a solo Steven Wilson album ranking is coming next? Cheers.

[@TheProgCorner]

Why not??$!!

[@todddale7041]

Great shirt Scot! The Lamb reigns victorious! Great review and as always from me: Kansas rocks! 😉

[@TheProgCorner]

Absolutely!!!

[@stevecowder4774]

Way to go, Scot ! Always a golden opportunity to weigh in on PT. ‘ Signify ‘ was the album that opened the door for me, due to its heavy PF influence. I really like ‘ Fear ‘ but ultimately, In Absentia stole my soul for life. It’s a true work of perfection. And only PT could make an album about serial killers and turn it into a treasure. The Genius of Steven Wilson. Plus, I never thought about the comparison of Lightbulb Sun to the Animals album. But I’m not surprised. The Sky Moves Sideways is very Floydish. Even though you’re not wild about ‘ Moonloop’, I can’t help but wonder if that song wasn’t inspired by Camel’s ‘ Lunar Sea ‘ ?? There are striking similarities.

[@TheProgCorner]

Moonloop and Lunar Sea. Absolutely beautiful homage?

[@stevecowder4774]

Well, they are actually very different songs. But they both take you on that ambient journey in which most of us prog heads love. However, I do prefer Lunar Sea over Moonloop.

[@ericfried6229]

Great ranking Scot. I’ve been following PT since the beginning and I think your ranking is pretty right on … except for the last 2 I would put In Absentia as number one. I absolutely love that one but I love them all 🤘

[@TheProgCorner]

It was basically a coin flip…

[@brettstrausser3846]

Totally agree with the sentiment on your shirt, Scot! Already suspected your faith by your actions, so kudos to you!

[@TheProgCorner]

I appreciate that!!! I’m surprised how many people had already figured it out. But it’s no secret. I am the property of Jesus Christ.

[@tullfan2560]

Like you said, there are so many great PT albums. They are all different, but all come with PT's own trademark sound. I got a brain injury and just wanted to recover and do nothing much at home. I found PT's music to be so therapeutic. Turn it down low and it's great to sleep to. When you're awake, the gentle chord progressions are interesting to follow in your mind. You can drift off into the ambient soundscapes and then the abrupt changes keep your mind alive. I get the feeling that PT do their best work when they're just noodling around in the studio and going with the flow. Like Steven has said, if it feels good and interesting to dynamically vary the tempo of a song, just do it. Then you've got Gavin's disciplined drumming which adds an extra dimension to the songs. PT are just a fantastic band.

[@TheProgCorner]

Absolutely fantastic!!!!

[@TheRealSming]

Signify started my journey with PT. Great album.

[@TheProgCorner]

Love it!!!

[@Paolopagnaniofficial]

The Sky Moves Sideways cover seems like an updated Dr. Who picture. Is it the planet Skarro?

Love Porcupine Tree. Loved this ranking. Soooo. Over 10k now! Well deserved in my opinion Scot.

[@TheProgCorner]

Thank you!!!🙏

[@graysonv2927]

Steven Wilson is a true rock star, for the remixes alone. Porcupine Tree just elevates his status as an absolutely brilliant musician.

[@TheProgCorner]

For sure!!!

[@grahamnunn8998]

I came into Porcupine Tree around Stupid Dream / Lightbulb Sun when a student brought it along. I went back and found everything and loved some of the earlier experimental stuff as it reminds me of some things I was trying around that time - SW and I are a similar edge. Fripp appeared on an early No Man album so Steve and him already had that connection.

[@TheProgCorner]

Good call!!!

[@user-br2gi8kh5s]

You mentioned in this video Animals by Pink Floyd is your favorite Pink Floyd album and that made me wonder whether you've heard Animals 2018 remix. It gives Animals an even more incredible sound than it already had Imo.

[@TheProgCorner]

I love the remix!!!!!

[@user-br2gi8kh5s]

@TheProgCorner Yeah it's so incredible. It makes Animals sound so modern.

[@jimave]

I’m somewhat new to PT. I haven’t listened to their entire catalog yet, but what I have listened to my favorite is In Absentia and Fear of a black planet. Jesus is my King.

[@TheProgCorner]

🙏🙏❤️❤️👍👍

[@aminahmed2220]

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤😊

Good ranking, love Porcupine Tree here’s mine: 11. On the Sunday of Life... 10. Up the Downstair 9. Stupid Dream 8. The Incident 7. Signify 6. The Sky Moves Sideways 5. Lightbulb Sun 4. Closure/Continuation 3. In Absentia 2. Deadwing 1. Fear of a Blank Planet

[@patximartutena2929]

Gran video. Sé que the incident suele estar menos valorado que el resto, pero a mí me encanta quizas porque fue el primero que escuché de la banda y me sorprendió oir algo que me recordaba a pink floyd. mi favorito por esto es fear of a blank planet

About 6 months ago I brought PT in absentia on a review now I got all their albums plus most of Steven Wilson solo albums'. I just love them.

[@TheProgCorner]

Fantastic!!!! Amazing body of work.

[@toddspango]

As with most prog bands, I haven't heard them all yet, but I do love everything I've heard from PT. I even love On the Sunday of Life. I always think of that one as kind of Syd Barrett-era Floyd with DSOTM-era Gilmour guitar pyrotechnics, which just hits oddly, like watching a Restoration-era period movie, but all of the costumes have zippers in them.

[@TheProgCorner]

👍👍👍

[@dennislind8411]

I gotta say you've nailed it. Agree with the order.

[@TheProgCorner]

[@styles8007]

Outstanding review. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@TheRealJoeNathan]

Porcupine Tree is a top-five band for me, I'd rank the albums as 1) Deadwing 2) In Absentia 3) Lightbulb Sun 4) Fear of a Blank Planet 5) Stupid Dream 6) Signify 7) Up the Downstair 8) The Sky Moves Sideways 9) Closure/Continuation 10) The Incident 11) On the Sunday of Life

[@TheProgCorner]

Nice!!!!

[@petertaylorson5783]

Love the psychedelic period the most. Up The Downstairs is a trip of an album and for me is up there with my other favourites In Absentia, Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun, Signify and The Sky Moves Sideways. Not so keen on what followed the superb In Absentia. i think things became a little formulaic thereafter, although i was with them from the beginning in'93 to their Royal Albert Hall finale in 2010.

[@TheProgCorner]

So good!!!!

[@acetheta]

I found that Staircase Infinities fits nicely with Up the Downstair on a single CD. I call it Up the DownStaircase Infinities.

[@charlesbritzman501]

I have all of those albums but I usually don’t know about bonus CD”s. Signify and In Absenia are my two favorites.

[@TheProgCorner]

👍👍👍

[@alanclayton9277]

i came in the other entrance through steven wilson's solo work. but fear of a blank planet was my first pt album, it's great. just to say that the raven that refused to sing felt like a prog liferaft for the twenty first century when i found it!

[@TheProgCorner]

I hear that!!!

[@robertrobertsakarogerslemer]

I Love your t-shirt, Scott

[@TheProgCorner]

❤️❤️❤️

[@stephenbarrow3352]

I have the Incident, it's the only album by them that I've heard. Really like it to be honest but I'll have to explore them more 👍

[@MusicVersa]

Pretty rare for someone to do a ranking and I agree with pretty much everything. The only quibble I might have is bumping up Stupid Dream one or two spots but otherwise, 100% on this. Fear is my favourite, with In Absentia, Lightbulb Sun, and Deadwing close behind.

[@TheProgCorner]

It felt soooooo wrong having Stupid Dream at #8…

[@EvilDeadthe2nd]

The incident on 10? I really like the album. Possibly in my top 3 but it was the second album i bought and time flies was the first porcupine tree song i have ever heard. Same for the first album. It was the first i bought on vinyl by porcupine tree. I think i would rank it higher and i like the psychedelic stuff

[@TheProgCorner]

Really!!! I promise to give The Incident another go!!!

[@brandonbarker961]

Glad to see Signify so high!! Great album!!❤❤

[@TheProgCorner]

I love Signify. It’s just so creepy!!!!

[@jackpittens796]

I kind of view PT's album's in 4 groups, the first 3 albums, then Signify thru Lightbuld Sun, then In Absentia thru Fear of a Blank Planet, then The Incident and Closure/Continuation. My order of preference is largely by these groups, so In Absentia thru Fear as the 3 best, then Signify thru Lightbulb Sun as 4 thru 6, then The Incident and C/C as 7 & 8, and then the first 3 albums. Ranking within these groups is tough but I'd say Fear, In Absentia, and the Deadwing (but these are almost too close to call), then Lightbuld Sun, Signify, and Stupid Dream. I place C/C just a notch higher than The Incident. For the first 3, I'd go in reverse order so The Sky Moves Sideways, Up the Downstairs, and then On the Sunday of Life. As collections go, as you said, there are no bad albums here.

[@TheProgCorner]

That makes sense.

[@TABL3SIX]

I have the 2017 remaster of Deadwing. It's the only Porcupine Tree I own. (I know sad). I do have Steve Wilson's solo album Hand.Cannot.Erase. That might be a bit of saving grace. I would confidently say "Lazarus" is my favorite PT song. ITS AWESOME!!! I LOVE IT!!! 😎

[@TheProgCorner]

What a great song!!!!!

[@kenl2091]

No bummers in this catalogue and i agree with the comments on 'On the Sunday of Life' but I would have 'Up the Downstair' way higher (it was the first one that I heard so that always helps and it is a perfect blend of psych and Floydian prog) I'm also a bit contrarian in that my numbers 1 and 2 would be The Sky Moves Sideways and Lightbulb Sun.

[@TheProgCorner]

Nice!!!! Every album is worthy!

Porcupine Tree, low hanging fruit for sure. I pretty well love everything Steven & Co released. I even like all the comps and EPs and whatnots. The Complete Voyage was a bit of a soundtrack back in the day. No sense in ranking as things change like the weather. Everything from Sky to Closure is stellar. Of course we all know that PT are one of the pre-eminent modern prog bands. My ears always prick up whenever I hear mention of Steven's name. BTW I really dig that Zon album back there. I've noticed it hanging around for the last little while. Hmm...you should say something about?

[@Cr8Tron]

"Stupid Dream" I feel should be a *bit* higher, at the very least. "Lightbulb Sun" and "Fear of a Blank Planet" I feel are always overrated. I stopped paying attention after Deadwing though; so, not sure about "The Incident" and "Closure/Continuation". However, I definitely liked that one track off the lastest, that they used as a pre-release promo, which I *did* hear at the time. As for the first two, they obviously are what they are... I've always been set on "TSMS", "Signify", "Stupid Dream", "In Absentia", and "Deadwing" as being the top-5 from them, while never sure how to rank them from one another...(?) 🤔

[@Marillion1978]

The most important band of the nineties And I would say that Signify changed my life. I saw them in Athens only once in the past.

I agree with most of your rankings, other than #1. And I know many don't agree with me, but Nil Recurring > Fear of a Blank Planet FOABP to me is way too lyrical and a downer and when I've done PT album rankings in the past, is usually towards the bottom (it's better than On the Sunday of Life at least). the trilogy of Lightbulb Sun In Absentia and Deadwing is as good of a 3-album run over the last 25 years.
