You know you keep making it out like all new prog is the same, which its not. Theres a lot more to prog than Dream Theater, and Porcupine Tree for that matter. You really should check out progarchives, its basically the prog fans Pitchfork. Theres well over 3000 bands with their own bios and discography information, and most of them have free MP3 streams. Look around. Quote:

And Safe as Milk is fairly accessible, it wasn't until Trout Mask Replica that Beefheart got really really freaky. Both. Last edited by boo boo; 05-03-2008 at 10:42 AM. |

I think he's talking compositional skill. Anyway, Porcupine Tree are doing something original. They are no doubt influenced by Floyd but they haven't sounded like them since before Signify. From Lightbulb Sun on they sound nothing like Floyd. Floyd never mixed in Metal riffing with psychedelia the way PT has done (Radioactive Toy is on one of their first albums actually).

Isn't that comparing apples to oranges? Syd's Pink Floyd (when he was the front man) was almost completely different from Gilmore's Pink Floyd (when he and Roger sort of shared the front man job).
Listen to See Emily Play and Jugband Blues then listen to Goodbye Blue Sky and Time and it seems like you're listening to two completely different bands, and you are!

Well duh, but of course they're gonna be compared, they both filled the same position for the same band at different periods in time.

I agree with you though, Gilmore is better, but I also think Pink Floyd would be nothing without Syd...Wish You Were Here - gone. The Wall - gone...ect.
