I love me some Porcupine Tree!
I found about them here on AuralMoon; it was the track "Russia on Ice" from "Lightbulb Sun" that kicked my ass. I now own LS, Signify, and In Absentia. I like them all, but I think that each album has some tracks that are sublime, and some that I could do without. Other great tracks include Dark Matter, Trains, Waiting (Phase 1 & 2), and, of course Blackest Eyes. Aural Moon just also played a live version of "The Sky Moves Sideways" that blows me away.
(Incidentally, a lot of these songs don't have much in the way of singing at all; I've always cared more about music than lyrics.)
They've got a new album coming out this month "Deadwing." It will be interesting to see how they evolve.
