Steven Wilson is responsible for many things in music. He has more bands than one can count and has experimented with more genres that an average music listener can name. However, if something is common in most of his Porcupine Tree works and solo works, it is the overall melancholy in the music.
He has always been vocal about his liking of sadness in music to help people feel something, and that has shown in his work.
His music is not much like the other artists mentioned here. His music is a thing in its own level. Words will not really do justice to it. One would just have to listen to know what the big deal about this genius of modern music is.
Depression can be a discomforting thing to say the least, whether it is clinical depression or not. Everyone wants to be happy and yet people are still left feeling the aches of depression for the longest time.
It is believed that in some cases, it is simply because people yearn to feel something, be it sadness or not. Well, if that is the case, it is well known that misery loves company. And what better company than the people expressing their own sadness through the most beautiful of platforms.
