Title: Porcupine Tree
Post by: Selkie on December 07, 2008, 02:22:52 PM
I want to get more into them than just a few random songs.

What album is their best/should I start with?

I'm gonna give you my three favorite albums from all three of their "phases", if that makes sense.

Psychedelic old stuff: "Voyage 34: The Complete Trip"
90's stuff: "Stupid Dream"
Recent, more metal/prog inspired stuff: "Fear of a Blank Planet"

Alright, I decided I'll buy Stupid Dream off Half.com.

But the lowest price is 11$ and my parents need to use their credit card so they only let me get stuff thats like 2$ or less, so I think I will ask for it as a christmas gift.

Also I like getting a CD for christmas because I listen to it on Christmas and the songs kind of ingrain in my brain as songs I heard on Christmas and whenever I listen to the songs I think of the Christmas when I got the CD.

I'm weird like that.

I've always liked Deadwing, but on occasion I enjoy Fear of a Blank Planet (their latest, I think)...

I'd say fuck it and get the live cd Arriving Somewhere.


All great songs and the live versions seem to create more emotion.

Ya my friend is crazy about them so he wanted to stay outside the back of the venue and wait for the band.

Three hours waiting outside in the cold with no where to sit. ;_;
