Now this discography lists everything, included compilations, singles, EPs, early demos, etc. For now, if you're new to PT, stick to the regular albums, which are:
On The Sunday Of Life
Up The Downstair
The Sky Moves Sideways
Signify
Stupid Dream
Lightbulb Sun
Recordings
In Absentia
Deadwing
Fear Of A Blank Planet
I've separated them into three groups, as PT have gone through three phases in their career.
The first group is more ambient and experimental, and at times sounds like Pink Floyd (see The Sky Moves Sideways).
The second group is probably their most accessible, as they streamlined their songs for a more rock sound.
The third group goes a bit further, incorporating progressive metal into their music.
So choose the group that you think you'd find most interesting first.
My pick for the first group would be The Sky Moves Sideways, for the second it's Stupid Dream, and for the third, well, take your pick. Any one of them would work.
Axver said:Here we go. I recommend starting with In Absentia; most people seem to start there. Though Stupid Dream is also a good place to begin.
The Sad Punk said:Oh, Ax - speaking of you giving things out to people, I didn't find out if you found any of the bootlegs yet.
No rush now with it, though.
LemonMelon said:
That's the one! I already have In Absentia and think it's awesome. And The Moon Touches Your Shoulder is a great song.
Axver said:
Then I suppose you can't go wrong with any of The Sky Moves Sideways, Stupid Dream, or Deadwing.
Axver said:
I could've sworn that last time you dropped in, I let you know that they're all there ...
LemonMelon said:
Any albums in particular that are worth avoiding?
The Sad Punk said:
Yeah, I remember asking it and I guessed you replied, but I had to leave before I could check it.
Thanks, though, good to hear they're there.

Only On The Sunday Of Life. It's more a compilation of the stuff from the early cassettes and shit that SW did when Porcupine Tree's music was meant to belong to a mythical seventies prog band. It's really, really weird shit. I've only played On The Sunday Of Life once all the way through, though Radioactive Toy is a live classic.
I should note that Recordings is in fact as out-takes collection of songs that didn't make Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun, but it is usually counted as a full album despite that.
And from personal experience, I found Signify took a little while to get into - though Waiting is an amazing song and I often use it to introduce people to the band.
Porcupine Tree originated in 1987 as something of a collaborative hoax between Steven Wilson and Malcolm Stocks. Inspired somewhat by the big bands, such as Pink Floyd, that dominated the music scene during their youths, the two decided to form a fictional legendary rock band named The Porcupine Tree. Wilson obliged the creation with several hours of music to provide "evidence" of its existence. The two also fabricated details such as band members, album titles and backstory. The backstory purportedly included events such as meeting at a '70s rock festival, and several trips in and out of prison.

You obviously love Fear Of A Blank Planet, but I've heard this one isn't good for beginners?
BTW, I smiled when I read PT's wikipedia entry and saw this:
It's the same damn thing I'm doing for the Fake List, and I didn't even know it!
