I only like English Electric, though I do like it A LOT, it doesn't compare what The Flower Kings have done

Big Big Train doesn't even come close to anything The Flower Kings have done.

I really like Big Big Train and they'd probably get my vote against most bands.
 
However they have absolutely no chance against The Flower Kings.

Very much this. BBT is OK, while TFK I hate with the fiery fires of hell.

I'll take the Train.  I stopped at one FK (Stardust We Are, an OK album, we didn't click), but when I got The Underfall Yard, I got every album of theirs I could in short order.  Most what gets me into a particular band is gut feeling and good timing.  The Kings may just have had bad timing.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I vote Big Big Train.
TFK is one of the few Swedish prog bands I don't like.
Recent Music Acquisitions:
Johnny Marr-"The Messenger"
Steven Wilson-"The Raven that Refused to Sing"
Fish-"Sunsets on Empire"
Riverside-"Shrine of New Generation Slaves"

The longer a poll is active, more votes can be cast, so it becomes more "scientific," as well.

So, when will be approximately known "Post 70īs Prog Champion"? I guess on Christmas probably, because your polls seem too prolonged for me ...Head on wall
 
 
Perhaps I could have closed the first series of polls of this round a little earlier. The ones Riverside and Porcupine Tree stole.
 
On the other hand, you can't say the other 2 were prolonged. When I close them, they were still on fire. 11 pages of debate on 3 days on the Spock's Beard-GY!BE poll. Try to beat that.

To clear things up (or not), I don't have the slightest idea when this tournament is going to end. Frankly I don't care. Until now, each poll has been about 3 days of duration. You can do the math if you desperately need an answer. But perhaps in the future I will extend the duration for the last rounds. Or shorten them, if I get tired of this, who knows?.

Not everybody likes flooding the site with polls like you do.

How dare you beat me to a post!LOL


I speak for society as a whole. LOL

Hello all . . . 

If one could . . . stop for a  . . . moment.   and consider . . . society as a whole, what does it really . . . mean.  

I think when you look . .. within yourself.  The prevailing view of what we call . . . society . . . can be questionable at . . . best 

*gong*


But I asked to Morningrise previously.Confused

No no no, silly person, you posted it on the Internet which invites comment from a series of ninnys, myself included.  I think what you're confusing this with is a private message which is where you would have only asked Morningrise.

Confused
-------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob-------

I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms.
