Thanks to those who’ve recommended Porcupine Tree! My new personal discovery and it’s really absorbing. 
Can people recommend their favorite albums and which tracks are considered “classic as”?
Cheers,
Mick.

Deadwing is probably their best album with the standout track bring "Arriving Somewhere". Played it for a friend the other night...he had never heard them and couldn't believe how good it was. Lazarus is also a great track, but they are pretty much all good. That is the only Porcupine Tree album I own at the moment. There is another that rates almost as high but can't think of the name. I will check...

In Absentia was the other Porcupine Tree album I was trying to remember. Check out the tracks "Blackest Eye", "Strip the Soul" & "Sound of Muzak".

I have a few Porcupine Tree albums and like them all. Picking out individual tracks is hard though, because I tend to thick of them as one big piece. I think the last one I bought was Lightbulb Sun, that one is really good but not as heavy or trippy as some of their releases. If you like long tracks check out the deluxe edition of The Sky Moves Sideways. 

SW has done some great solo work as well. Check out the Raven that Refused to Sing if you haven't already.

Deadwing - title track - is breathtaking. The 2nd guitar solo is Adrian Belew and it's hatstands crazy.
The whole album is superb.

Lightbulb Sun - Four Chords That Made A Million is my favourite. Again, the whole album is superb.

Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson albums are played frequently around here.

Must re-investigate Porcupine Tree - thanks for the recs.
I own Fear of a Blank Planet - bought because of Rush's Alex Lifeson's guest playing.
One of those albums that perhaps needs several listens to get under your skin, which
incidentally applied to much of Rush's music. The first listen would get you nowhere.

King Crimson... lyric quote, "Music is the Wine that fills the Cup."

Was stated at the end of this TV episode, 

Rosemary and Thyme S3 E1 [The Cup of Silence].

Which song is this from?
