If Trains is your favorite IA song then you aren't getting the point =P It's all about the rawness of songs like "Strip the Soul" and "The Creator Has a Masterpiece" being side by side with something like "Lips of Ashes" or "Gravity Eyelids".Well when it comes to PT everytime a new album is released it seems like their best yet (and it is in many ways) so at one point Deadwing was my favorite. What can I say, it's subjective :lol .
Actually two of my favorite Deadwing-era songs are "So Called Friend" and "Mother & Child Divided" which didn't make into the album. Which doesn't mean Deadwing isn't one of my favorite albums ever. Just not one of my preferred PT ones.
I mentioned Trains because it seems to be what most PT fans like; it's nice but as Wilson has said, there's no reason for which it should be their most wanted song. If you want to know what songs I like, then it's stuff such as Deadwing, Sound of Muzak, Normal (from their latest EP) and most specially Arriving Somewhere But Not Here (BRILLIANT song).
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
If you can't get into that, may god have mercy on your soul.
Glad we agree
Anyway it's all about tastes and In Absentia is obviously an amazing album as well. I guess I love the metal-ish sound Deadwing has that distinguishes itself from the others.

If you REALLY wanna get zany with PT, try their "off-albums" Wilson tossed out while recording the main albums. Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape, Voyage 34, Metanoia...much freer compositions with generous helpings of Guitar Trance and such.
Metanoia is an awesome thing. And I agree, I thought Nil Recurring was much stronger than Fear of a Blank Planet EPs and such are really worth it when listening to PT.
Edit: Speaking about Opeth, I can't wait for the new album. A couple of tracks were leaked recently and it sounds
amazing. They're in a really good moment, I really enjoyed Ghost Reveries.
Also, listen to Between the Buried and Me, specially their album from last year Colors. Awesome Death-ish-prog metal. I could listen to that album nonstop for days, it was one of my favorite releases from last year for sure, glad I discovered them. Their other albums are brilliant as well.
