Check out Fear of a Blank Planet and the Nil Recurring EP. Both from the same recording sessions.

Steven Wilson's solo stuff is comfortably better than Porcupine Tree. The Raven That Refused to Sing is his masterpiece.

The only one I've heard so far is Hand. Cannot. Erase. and I really enjoy that album. Not sure if im interested enough to delve further though..

Great band but doesn't touch MC5, to me at least.

They're very different. Hand.Cannot.Erase is very introspective with a fair bit of indie pop influence. The Raven That Refused to Sing was made with a different band (an even better collection of musicians than Porcupine Tree) at a time when Wilson was heavily listening to early King Crimson. It's his best balls-out prog rock epic.

I don't really like King Crimson though. The Adrian Belew era stuff was alright but I would much rather listen to other prog rock tbh.

OK your loss although I think if you like Fear of a Blank Planet you'd like Raven too

I used to quite like a few Muse songs, even though they’re often a second rate Radiohead or whatever. This used to be one of my favourites.

Frustrating band regardless. I like or at least used to like a few tracks from their second and third album, but even those are uneven and filled with songs I don’t like at all. Everything after the third album is basically garbage from what I’ve heard.

Yeah I get what you mean, they're pretty inconsistent and Bellamy is a real cunt by all accounts, but I like a few of their songs too, especially ones from Origin of Symmetry. "Knights of Cydonia" from Black Holes and Revelations is pretty great also.

Been pumping this pretty regularly as of late. Think it's one of those 'live in the studio' albums.

Going full hipster with this but this is some seriously brisk synth work. The last two minutes are goddamn ethereal. They should get Cronenberg to direct a Cosmopolis type video for this song.
