DT vs. PT

Answering the question that came up in GD.

I'd say neither for me.

i did baaddd

I dig 'em both.

I like both. I've loved DT since 1992, but only got into PT in the last year, and only heavily into them in the last month.

Both. Only seen them twice each though

Both - big

Dream Theater. I haven't heard enough from PT to make a fair choice though

Both, I still like DT a little more but PT is coming closer to taking the number 1 spot

Both, but at the moment (and with the way PT records are going) I'd say that I'm liking PT more.

I'm listening to Porcupine Tree at the moment, and I have to say that it can get so depressing.

Both, but I am a much bigger DT fan.

Porcupine Tree lacks the magic DT has, although I love both bands. DT didn't get to the first spot of my list easily.

Both.

Remove vote?! Nice

Dream Theater.

Both, but DT are my favourite...PT would probably be in my top 20

Porcupine Tree

Do you want a steak dinner, or want a fat guy to fart in your face for 20 minutes straight?

Obviously I went with DT.

I get both every time I have a steak dinner.

I voted for both, but I greatly prefer DT.

Both, im more familiar with DT though.

Yup same here

Neither.

why is DT not in the poll?

omg this! saddest music i ever heard

Porcupine Tree are miles better.

Porcupine Tree are

both are and is are

PT suck

disappear stop tickling his elmo

Why isn't both an option?

.........I have lost a lot of "excitement" in being a DT fanatic. It has everything to do with MP leaving I'm afraid. I'm not threading this to start any kind of war of words or anything, just stating fact as to how I feel and wonder if there are many out there that feel the same way.

For me, a HUGE portion of the DT live experience was 1) watching Portnoy play and engage the fans, 2) seeing multiple shows on a given leg and not knowing what songs to expect & 3) looking at the forums DAILY to see what "surprises" were in any given setlist. That's just not there any longer Yes, they change up a couple of songs every other night (rotating sets) but there's no "shock" value any longer. IMO, this along with their virtuoso musicianship, AND MP's connection to us fans is what made DT stand apart from the musical world. Obviously, we all knew this was going to happen, but LIVING it just takes something away from the band IMO.

Now, before people get all hot and bothered, let me say this. They are still a top notch live act, and ADTOE was an awesome album for sure! Plus, Mike Mangini IS an awesome drummer and seemingly a VERY NICE guy who is loving his opportunity in DT ..... I expected nothing less.

I never felt MP's departure would hurt their recording and future releases. My fear was and IS, the touring side of the band!

As much as I like Mangini and think that DT has bright future with him behind the kit, I just think the expectation level is gone for good

oh goddamn you you faggot

ill still fuck you but goddamn it

:riaa

really, i accept ass

wow you are a faggot.

They're a band consisting of 4 people. "Porcupine Tree are" as in "They are", otherwise it would just be like saying "They is miles better then DT" which would not only sound wrong, but also be lame as hell.

Porcupine Tree is a band. A band is an entity in the singular.

Checkmate.
