2000 Porcupine Tree - Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled

From: Lightbulb Sun; Year: 2000; Genre: Progressive Rock

Well, here I am, at my 2000th song pick.... Back in September of 2007, when I started this little blog originally on MySpace, I honestly didn't know if I would take it this far. Heck, I didn't even know if I'd make it to 1000, but here I am. I guess it's now on to 3000!
Anyway, as I've been doing lately, since my song pick numbers have matched dates in music, I've been picking songs released the year that coincides with my pick number. I didn't know if I was going to pick one like this today, being that this is such a milestone and all, but I really didn't have a more fitting one in mind, so I figured I would just go along with my loose theme as of late.
When I discovered Porcupine Tree released an album in 2000 I knew I had to pick one off of it; you can't go wrong with the epicness of progressive rock, especially on the day I pick my 2000th song! However, with the ominous title you might expect something heavier, but this is a rather light track actually, but still with all of the neat things that progressive rock has to offer. Interestingly enough this song contains samples from a speech by Marshall Applewhite, who was the leader of the suicide cult Heaven's Gate; "Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled" was actually spoken by the cult leader.
