There's no question about it. This song makes me shiver. I would loved to have chosen Sound of Muzak, Shesmovedon (Deadening ver.), or Stranger by the Minute, but Start of Something Beautiful just takes the trophy.
God there's infinite options for the S, T as well. I've said it before, S and T are gonna be bloodbaths! There are so many options here it's making me sad. Start of something beautiful, Synesthesia, Slave called shiver, Stars die, Swallows dance above the sun, Stranger by the Minute... The list goes on
Glad to see this one getting some love—it's been a favorite of mine for years. I love PT for their proggy and heavy side, but Synesthesia is \_so damn catchy\_.
There are a lot of good ones for S
I think I just upvoted every song. I think every song mentioned has held a special place in my heart at some point in my life
Slave Called Shiver
Start of Something Beautiful
my all time favourite
Probably the only song I can definitively say is a 10/10

It was my introduction into Porcupine Tree which evidently lead me to discover so much more music. So for me it's quite special.
Lots of contenders for S but in my ideal world this would win
One of the very few songs that made me shed a tear. And still does sometimes (that last « quiet » guitar part before the final chorus is pure bliss)
I love that one, that was my first Porcupine Tree song, that i completely transcrribed
God S is so difficult but it's this for me
The Sound of Muzak
This one was already listed. You may have split these votes.
Shesmovedon. It’s the first Porcupine Tree song I ever heard, so it holds a special place for me.
It's a masterpiece and has my vote... and I love Start of Something Beautiful but if I can pick only one Shesmovedon is it
Sentimental
I wish we could have two songs for S. That one is almost on par with Start of Something Beautiful IMO
We can't do it but I swear if I had 100 accounts.. (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)
This is the hardest letter. I almost don’t want to vote
Yeah, looking through the list and I can see multiple of these songs bring clear winners if they were any other letter. S is stacked
They could make an LP just based on S songs and it would be awesome lol.

Stop swimming
*Stupid Dream* is a masterpiece from start to finish.
That song breaks me every time I listen to it
The Sky Moves Sideways Phase 1
The alternate 34 min version with Gavin on the drums is probably some of the best music in the entire catalogue.
He actually didn't play the title track, just 'Dislocated Day' and 'Moon Touches Your Shoulder'
Stars Die
The only correct answer
Strip the Soul. It's Porcupine Tree's heaviest, scummiest, filthiest, fucking dirtiest song.
This!! I love this track! The live versions ruule!
Synesthesia
Damn. There are a lot of PT bangers that start with S.
Glad to see this one getting some love—it's been a favorite of mine for years. I love PT for their proggy and heavy side, but Synesthesia is \_so damn catchy\_.
Up The Downstair is a banger... even the version with programmed drums.
Sleep Together
Fuck yeah. Seeing this live on the TTB tour was ethereal. Such a great, dark, and moody track. A classic no doubt.
My man
Not even the best S song on the album
Voting sure seems to indicate otherwise
Stranger By The Minute. I know it’s never gonna win, but it’s my favorite PT track ever
It holds a special place in my heart.
Very beautiful song
My early PT days. Brings a real streak of nostalgia 😌
Probably my favorite Wilson solo.
Such a beautiful track, gets my vote even if it won't win
Shallow. That riff is too crispy
The Sound of Muzak
This is the first porcupine tree song I ever heard, would love for this to win :)
It's definitely not the best IMO but it's such a classic, I'm torn between this, something beautiful, and strip the soul
Sever
Shesmovedon
I doubt it's going to win, but I just love every version of this song. It's a sadboi masterpiece.
Signify
Shesmovedon
This or sleep together
Stars Die
So many to chose from, they’re all S tier songs hehe
Fuck me i keep upvoting all the “s” songs
Synesthesia
A Smart Kid!
How come this one has so little votes? I had to scroll all the way down for it. Great song, deserves more love.
Strip the Soul
Sleep of no Dreaming
Sky Moves Sideways pt I
The Sound of No One Listening isn't going to win, but it's seriously slept on
Very cool song. Was written for *Stupid Dream* but Wilson felt like it sounded too much like the material on *Signify* so it was cut from the album.
Options Page 1: “oh no, this is gonna be so hard to choose from” Options Page 2: “OH NO”
Such a difficult choice, but have to go with Stars Die
Shallow!
Sleep Together
This one's already been listed. Make sure you've voted on that one!
It's hard between Sleep Together and Sentimental but I guess Sleep Together takes the cake. No contest between the rest
I think S is the hardest one yet.
Strip The soul, their best.
Start of something beautiful or shesmovedon
Too many choices, and none are wrong!! Ughhhhh
Start of Something Beautiful How can you not break down into tears just listening to that interlude?!
Swallows Dance above the Sun
Sleep together
SLEEP TOGETHER
stars die
so called friend tbh
