Woohoo… And you have all Steven Wilson’s solo albums and vast array of other side projects too… Congratulations, you have just discovered a veritable gold mine, enjoy!!!
Welcome to the world of Porcupine Tree - this was only a taste of how awesome they are. Definitely check out Arriving Somewhere But Not Here, Anasthetize, Trains, Blackest Eyes, Sound of Muzak, Dignity, Never Have, Herd Culling....list goes on!
Man this is a mine of pure gold, just keep digging. ‘Arriving somewhere but not here’, ‘Trains’, ‘Fear of a Blank Planet’, ‘The start of something Beautiful’, ‘Hatesong’, ‘Anesthetise’, ‘ Lazarus’, Heart attack in a lay-by’ the list of brilliance goes on and on. They also just released a new album after a 13 year hiatus so you may want to check out some tracks from ‘Closure/Continuation’
This is one of those bands whose name I'd heard, but I'd never heard any of their songs. I never really looked into them because (a) I never knew what to expect and I used to be a music snob until a few years ago and (b) there's just so much music out there that it's nigh on impossible to get to it all. That being said, I liked this song a lot. Good work on bringing good music to the masses, my friend!
Cool reaction, man ! You seem like a really chill guy :) This band and its front man, Steven Wilson, are both extremely prolific, versatile and *good.* Or, to put it differently, there's a shitload of material, at least 80% of it is absolutely brilliant, and almost each of these tracks stands out from the rest in some way and to a significant degree, so that you _have_ to listen to them. This makes it _very_ difficult to pick a reasonable number of songs to suggest. You'll experience something completely different if you listen to Normal or Anesthetize, or Fadeaway, or Smiling Not Smiling, or...

There's really trippy, psychedelic stuff in there, there's prog metal, popish stuff, ambiant music, pure prog rock and so on.

If you like what he does, you're in for hours upon hours upon hours of eargasmic music :)
Brilliant band! Just released a new album, too ( first in 12 years or so ). Steve Wilson (singer / guitar / songwriter / producer ) has a ton of excellent solo stuff, as well ( check out a track called Drive Home ). Steve has done some production work for a Swedish band called Opeth. You might dig some Opeth, too ( check their live at Red Rocks video of a track called Ghost of Perdition ). Gavin Harrison ( drummer ) also plays with a band called Pineapple Thief. They have some good stuff, too. So much great music out there. Enjoy!
Enjoyed your reactions. My favorite band. I love this song but it's like my 50th favorite by them lol. The song that got me into them is Anesthesize which is like 18 minutes of a heavier version of this. Other than that I would recommend checking out Hatesong or Russia on Ice as a next step into the PT universe
You are about to go on a great musical journey, I predict. My suggestion is choose live versions where possible. The studio versions are incredible but, with a few exceptions, the live versions outdo even them.
Broooooooooooo…. Let’s gooooooo! Happy you took a chance! There are some good suggestions in the comments already. I recommend Way out of Here live… Gavin Harrison is the best drummer alive. THEN…. you may be ready for Anesthetize live…. A BANGER and the reason I became a super fan
@@helenespaulding7562 Danny is one of the greats… but Gavin can play anything including tool. He was trained initially in jazz. He has written many books on drumming theory. I have played drums since 1982, I’ve never heard someone with the ceiling of ability as high as Gavin. Danny is a MONSTER at what he does. True legend. One of the most instantly recognizable sounds in all of music. Respect to him in droves!
Great reaction! Welcome to the best band PT, exceptional love band, some brilliant videos out there to check out, “arriving somewhere but not here” live. “Hatesong” live “Anesthetize” live are all stunning performances, go on, take the journey 😁👍
Oh and I searched for Porcupine Tree reactions and yours didn’t populate… make sure you hashtag it. There are a lot of fans and not enough good reactors doing them!
I love watching someone experience PT for the first time. I did it myself about 18 months ago. They are possibly the greatest band that almost nobody has ever heard of. You should just dive right in and react to their magnum opus - "Anesthetize", live from Tilburg. It's the shortest 17 1/2 minutes of music I've ever experienced. I feel like you would really like "The Start of Something Beautiful", live from Chicago.
You might like some of Opeth's more softish songs. Porcupine Tree and Opeth are closely related, often helping eachother in the studio with recordings, guesting on songs together and even did a solo concept album together. Opeth used to be pretty groove and hook based before going full blown 70's prog. A song that comes to mind that might be worth your time from them is 'To Rid the Disease'. One of the songs released by them before their change to a more 70's frantic prog sound.
I wonder if you'd be interested in giving a listen to one of the best southern rock blues bands you'll ever listen too. "The Allman Brothers Band - Statesboro Blues (at the Fillmore East, 1971)" this band is from Jacksonville FL. and the founding members were brothers Duane Allman and Gregg Allman, Duane was lead guitarist and Gregg was lead singer and keyboardist as well as Dickey Betts also lead guitarist, Berry Oakley Bassist, Butch Trucks and Jai Jaimoe" Johanson Drums. Duane Allman was the Master of the Southern Slide, which is a style of playing that made him iconic to this day. I look forward to hearing what you think🔥🎸💖✌🎶🤗
They remind me of a harder version of Pink Floyd. Speaking of which you gotta see Comfortably Numb from 1994 Pulse concert ,epic!! One of the best guitar solos ever and one of the best light shows too.
So your very first song U listened to by PT is Normal? Well as U go down the PT rabbit hole your Not going to be Normal to much longer listening to PT Huge Catalogue of Music! 🎹🎸🥁
My suggestions for Porcupine Tree: Fear of a Blank Planet Even Less Hatesong But seriously Bro! Try Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water. A lot of people call it an anthem of Hard Rock.
Haven't seen too many do Halo off of Deadwing. One of my favorites off of DW. And Hatesong would be a good one too. But it's hard to go wrong with anything from Stupid Dream to Fear of a Blank Planet.
I would recommend arriving somewhere but not here. Fear of a blank planet and their new one Chimeras Wreck . I got tickets to see them in Philadelphia this September. Very excited!
Woohoo…
And you have all Steven Wilson’s solo albums and vast array of other side projects too…
Congratulations, you have just discovered a veritable gold mine, enjoy!!!

amazing suggestions !
@@LeagueOfZenek thank you 🙂
Watch all the live versions.
You have now entered the Steven Wilson rabbit hole
Yes, such a fantastic band.

Hell yeah! Was not expecting this! Love porcupine tree!
Drummer is Gavin Harrison, discovered this band fairly recently through the album In Absentia, amazing can't believe I'd never heard of them before
Please stick with them. Steven Wilson is a musical genius and I don’t even consider myself a prog rock fan. I think you should react to Blackest Eyes.
I think his taste is fantastic.
A couple of initial Porcupine Tree suggestions would be Arriving Somewhere But Not Here or Blackest Eyes. One of my favorites is She’s Moved On.
Routine, Drive, Refuge and Personal Shopper are great songs by Steven Wilson, the singer singwriter of Porcupine Tree
Perhaps the best rabbit hole of all (plus Steven Wilson’s solo stuff). I would second the mentions of Anesthetize live in Tilburg.
This is a rabbit hole you want to go down.
Wow! Going off the beaten path with Porcupine Tree! Not as many people are aware of them but they have some gems.
Some?
You got me, never heard of these guys! HOWEVER they were very good!
...Best band most people have never heard of ...
Dam I didnt know we’re doing porcupine tree now. Trains is my favorite ❤️
The Creator Has A Mastertape. Your very welcome!

Life changing music.

Porcupine Tree is almost always better live!! 😃
Glad to see you got to Porcupine Tree. They are awesome. How about some 3 Dog Night? Joy to the World, Liar, or Black and White to start with.
Huh. Never heard of them. Cool. They're really good
All is good!!
Steve Wilson has been true for Artist!!! He is Art...
"Get what you Deserve "
Live Mexico City!!! DVD!!! YO OKAY!!!!
Broooooooooooo…. Let’s gooooooo!
Happy you took a chance! There are some good suggestions in the comments already. I recommend Way out of Here live… Gavin Harrison is the best drummer alive. THEN…. you may be ready for Anesthetize live…. A BANGER and the reason I became a super fan
Gavin is outstanding…but really? Better than Danny Carey?
@@helenespaulding7562 Danny is one of the greats… but Gavin can play anything including tool. He was trained initially in jazz. He has written many books on drumming theory. I have played drums since 1982, I’ve never heard someone with the ceiling of ability as high as Gavin.

Always digging Porcupine Tree also you should even check out Steven Wilson's (The Singer) Solo stuff good stuff!
Great reaction! Welcome to the best band PT, exceptional love band, some brilliant videos out there to check out, “arriving somewhere but not here” live. “Hatesong” live “Anesthetize” live are all stunning performances, go on, take the journey 😁👍

Anesthetize is a GREAT song by this band.
Do more there is a lot

My suggestions for Porcupine Tree:
Fear of a Blank Planet
Even Less
Hatesong
But seriously Bro! Try Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water. A lot of people call it an anthem of Hard Rock.
Haven't seen too many do Halo off of Deadwing. One of my favorites off of DW. And Hatesong would be a good one too.
But it's hard to go wrong with anything from Stupid Dream to Fear of a Blank Planet.
I just heard of this band not even a month ago. I feel cheated somehow. Not one friend to introduce me to them.
Thanks ANYWAY
ZAPPA??
I would recommend arriving somewhere but not here. Fear of a blank planet and their new one Chimeras Wreck . I got tickets to see them in Philadelphia this September. Very excited!
