| You guys must be joking, it's obviously Unfold The Future. It is an acquired taste though. I enjoy it more and more each listen, but hated it initially. |

| Another difficult one. I have to vote for Flower Power, one of my favourite albums of all time!!! Nevertheless, Unfold The Future does run it close. |

Tie between Space Revolver and Unfold the Future. I listen to Space Revolver more, so I'll pick that one. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

Space Revolver. Unfold The Future as the runner-up. ------------- With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince. With science, you can turn a frog into a Ph.D. and you still have the frog you started with. |

I abstain for the moment. It's clearly between Stardust, Flower power and Space Revolver. Stardust: Might be best over 2 discs. Flower power: Garden of dreams is fantastic but i'm not so sure about the second disc. Space revolver: Has in "I am the sun" the best track. There are some weaker tracks in the middle though. And it's only one disc. Amazing that no one voted Stardust. |

| I wish they had condensed their greatest ideas in one album. It would be awesome. Unfortunately they release EVERYTHING they compose, and because of that I think most of their albums are plenty of filler. I voted for Space Revolver which I think contains almost no filler. |

1.) Unfold the Future 2.) Paradox Hotel (!!!!!) 3.) Space Revolver Paradox Hotel. Seriously guys, it rocks. It takes a while to get into though, I'll admit, but it has a very distinct feeling, differing it from other Flower Kings releases. And the filler doesn't feel like filler!!! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Deadwing008/?chartstyle=Basquiat">

Interesting to see all the diverse comments coming in here. Just shows what a consistently good band the Flower Kings are, there is something for everyone amongst their stuff! As already stated by me earlier, Flower Power is the one, in fact, it is in my top ten albums of all time, and I think I love the second disc even more than the brilliant first disc! But Unfold The Future does run it close. Interestingly here though, My third fave is Adam And Eve, followed by The Rainmaker and Stardust We Are. For me, Space Revolver is one of their weaker efforts. It is too heavy in parts for me, and only I Am The Sun parts one and two are up to scratch. (Although I do love The Chicken Farmer's Song!) It is still better than their first two albums, though. Haven't heard the new one yet, but hope to get it in the next couple of weeks. That could change everything!

without a shadow of a doubt its The Rainmaker such a sensational album that made me fall in love with the flower kings...unfold the future is also terrific however their most recent stuff is too much too complex feels like they are cramming everything into a song a little overbearing. ------------- I'm a Work Of Art..Too Perfect For Someone Like you.. |

that's the point!! it's odd thar Retropilis is so underestimated. The title song is amazing . There are some weak points, but I dont think that it deserved to be in such low rate here... there is everything for everyone  |
