8 minute, odd time songs with falseto vocals, extensive guitar duels and lyrics that tell the tale of a big Sci Fi epic drama is not what I would call radio friendly.
8 minutes - not radio friendly
odd time songs - the modern public won't even be able to tell the difference because all they listen to is the voice.
extensive guitar duels - If they can handle Eddie Van Halen than they can handle Claudio.
Lyrics - They are catchy and that is all the radio wants.

Thats not true at all. You may not agree with the opinions of more mainstream music fans, but just because people prefer accessible music dosen't mean they are too dumb to know what a time signature is. Time sigs do play a big role in how popular something will be. Its very hard to make something that is not in 4/4 or 3/4 catchy.

Aside from his fancy and innovative tapping techniues, EVH mostly plays in the basic pentatonic blues scale, so its not all that surprising that his style of playing caught on with hard rock fans.

Catchy you say?

A broad incision sits across the evening
The victim to our fathers lost war
The restless children sit and mourn the graves
Of those they've never seen before
Will they be buried here among the dead?
In the silent secret

The pioneers
In dealing with it they march for dawn, of Will and worthy
The truth be told the child was born
Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon
And now

Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move
Over arms length they'll break protocol
Jealous envy for the youngest one
To be the hero is all I'll ask
Can I be buried here among the dead?
With room to honor me here in the end
You'll be better off too soon
You'll be better off when you get home

For you,
I'd do anything just to make you happy, hear you tell me that you’re proud of me
For them,
I'll kill anything cut the throats of babies for them break their hearts for they were them
Waiting for you to say: I love you too

The navigator
The pilot
Her favorite
The one they call the vision that bears the gift

Will,
Do the children really understand the things you did to them?
And why oh why…
Should they conjure up the will for you my love I would kill him
we're coming home pretty soon
Coming home

In the seventh turning hour
Will the victims shadow fall?
Should the irony grow hungry?
With the victory and all they sought for
We were one among the fence
One among the fence

We're coming home

Man your own jackhammer
Man your battle stations
We'll have you dead pretty soon
And now
Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
Man your battle stations
We'll have you home pretty soon
tonight

Prog rock pretentiousness, far from catchy.

Eh, not much of a Porcupine Tree fan. Give me The Doors, Pink Floyd or Thin Lizzy any day.

I was thinking that Porcupine Tree were the best band ever. Thanks for correcting my opinion random generic internet guy.

Porcupine Tree is probably a good deal better than any of your favorite bands.

Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy
when a flaming stealth banana split the sky
like one would hope but never really expect
to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime
and stopping right at my Birkenstocks,
and me yelping...
