Suddenly, Porcupine Tree

I have always been a Beetles, Stones, Springsteen, Young etc fan. You could throw in Yes, ELO, Pretenders, Dead and many more. You get the idea. I bought a porcupine tree album a few yrs ago gave it a spin and that was that. Did not get it. Recently I gave it another spin. Now suddenly I own everything they have done and starting on solo stuff. My favorite but not limited to, "stupid dreams". I now can not get enough of this band. What happened. Did I just get older? Like a "lightbulb sun" going off in my head. If you do not know this band get to know them. Anything I am missing? Other favorite albums of Porcupine? Other bands similar experience with?

Well, considering that Robert Fripp hand-picked Steve Wilson to re-master/re-mix most of the KC catalog, it's not surprising that he borrows from King Crimson.

I have seen them live 3 times and each time I came away amazed by the musicianship and the sound quality. The guy who does their live sound really knows his stuff!

Dnd PFFischer, their most "accessible" album is Stupid Dream. I also greatly enjoy In Absentia and On The Sunday Of Life.

Steve Wilson is a certified genius and PT is a fabulous band...

I was introduced to PT by way of listening one day to Radio Paradise out of CA. This GREAT station needs NO introduction. I purchased "Signify" lp. What a great record! The production, the flow, the music... Awesome!
