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

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"

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 guess Big Big Train is marginally better.

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

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.

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

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