Following my polls about The Tangent and Spock's Beard, it is logical to have one for the mighty Flower Kings as well! Vote and comment, which is your favorite TFK album? Give us your top 3/top 5, should you feel like it.

I will go with 'Banks of Eden' today, although I must admit that there is not a single album in their catalogue that I dislike, so my 'preferred' TFK album can change pretty much every week. Smile

Flower Power was my introduction to TFK and still is my "go to" album for this group, so I picked that as my favorite.

It's really hard to choose for me. I like their music very much, but are certainly a second tier band in my book. Probably Space Revolver, but I could choose Flower Power or Banks of Eden.

Unfold the Future for me!
They're all good though.  Just some slightly better than others.

I only have a few of their albums. 1) Stardust We Are 2) Space Revolver 3) Adam and Eve. Special mention goes to the solo Roine Stolt album The Flower King, which I would put at #2 in my list.

Banks Of Eden although Islands is very good. Got bored with the earlier releases for some reason.
