the pink floyd influence on porcupine tree is so stark it is frankly frightening

For gods sake, do you log in to this forum JUST to diss modern prog?
How would you feel if I did that with all the crappy avant indie you listen to? And believe me you're really inspiring me to do that.
If you confuse PT albums with Floyd albums, you're clearly losing your hearing. Influence =/= Ripping off. PT have a lot of influences and every album is somewhat different from the last, you clearly have heard very little from them besides their earliest material I assume.
And besides, I think much worse of the music you listen to, talentless post punk ripoffs as far as the eye can see.
With the exception of maybe The Flower Kings, I don't know how you could confuse any of the bands in this poll with their 70s prog ancesters, it's like, goddamn, you can't be a prog band that's influenced by other prog bands? Give me a f*cking break.
Most of these bands have more than just prog influences and any idiot can hear that.
