TFK for me. If you would ask me which is a better/innovative band, I would definitely have to admit that ELP is way more innovative and better. But for preference, then TFK for me. They're more up to my taste.

Will take a listen to TFK's samples with an open mind, at least, but I will be very, very, very surprised if they somehow edge it over Emerson's sublime piano and the general force of ELP. Think I've wandered their way before, probably, but don't remember them that well.

Still... I'll listen... see what happens.

The Flower Kings for me, so much more listenable IMO.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

A few days. Take your time. Wink

It was a hard decision for me, but I went with TFK in the end. I love them both.

Reingold's bass pushes the nose forward but only slightly
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Two somewhat love/hate bands here... this one should definitely be interesting. The masters of pretension in the 70s or today... which do you like more and why?

Please: If you are not familiar with one or both of the band's material, I urge that you use the links provided and at least listen to the samples on their respective pages.

ELP's PA page: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=94
TFK's PA page: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=110

As always, discussions are encouraged.


Recap:
Round 1
A1:  Mahavishnu Orchestra v. Marillion      (24-28)
A2:  Gong v. Area    (18-19)
