FIRST BITCHES

One of the first posts I ever read on this forum was from you, and it was also the first post in a Porcupine Tree thread. I remember it well. You said, verbatim

"Steven Wilson is my God and gay lover. As I've said before, I would eat his poo."

I can't find the post because the two-year-old version of this thread has probably been deleted. Just trust me, you said it. And what a wonderful quote it is.
Gadough isn't Hitler. He's much, much worse.

Trains is the greatest song ever.

BUT IT'S A 4 MINUTE POP SONG

PROG 4 LYF
Cole: "Ow I just got hit in the balls"
Me: "How?"
Cole: "Well you know when you try to scratch your balls, and you scratch too hard?

Hi guys my name's Ryan and I also like the band that is called Porcupine Tree that is a band that has a guy who is named Steven Wilson and he has glasses and is British.


I dunno I really have a thing for Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before It's Recycled but I guess if I was really going to choose my favorite PT song I guess I'd have to say....


(sigh)

Without no amount of irony or sarcasm, The Nostalgia Factory really is an awesome song. I really think they could spice it up and play it live now, without the helium-effect on the vocals, and maybe do something more prog with the instrumental-part.

Cool list there, but what do you find so great about "The Rest Will Flow"?

Gravity Eyelids
The Sky Moves Sideways (both phases, can't choose)
Moonloop
Mellotron Scratch
Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled
The Nostalgia Factory
Burning Sky
Sleep Together

Also, honourable mentions are Don't Hate Me, Baby Dream in Cellophane, and A Smart Kid. All three were incredibly close to making it.

I find it extremely catchy and I love the ending and chorus. Seems a little sad to me but for some reason cheers me up. PT's poppy side at its best! That was just a real quick ranking, others would be pretty close like A Smart Kid, Stranger by the Minute, Baby Dream in Cellophane, Sky Moves Sideways, Last Chance, Feel So Low, shesmovedon, the rest of FOABP and LBS etc. Its hard to pick with Porkie Tree but that was just what came into my head :)
