Flossy, to him everything sucks unless it's by Gildenlow, Stolt, Morse, or maybe DT. He's as much of fanboy of PoS as Blowie is of those ulking warluses.

You forgot Rico Wink

Anyway, it's a tie between Tony R, Ansen and Blowie for me.

One day, those will defend their favorite bands until death. Tony R even says that in his biography LOL

Posers! None will ever beat Flossy. Take this ():

THE FLOWER KINGS — Paradox Hotel

Review by http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=1916 - King of Loss (Xiaojie Liu)

5 stars Ahhh, the new Flower Kings album.. Probably the best album this year. (I'm 100% sure of that)

Being a hardcore Flower Kings fan, Paradox Hotel was really a boost in my confidence. Adam & Eve was of course good for 2004, but it really did not boost my hopes up. It was great at the beginning and just ran out of steam after I listened to it about 50 times. (That means its still very good, just not quite as good anymore)

In the album Paradox Hotel, we see things change quite a bit. The lack of Daniel Gildenlow, who was fired for his disappreciation at the negative over-protection that the US authorities had for the States, so there goes Daniel.. The music, ahhh... reminds me a lot of new beginnings for The Flower Kings. The new beginning for the Flower Kings, sounds weird doesn't it? This is the album where The Flower Kings brings new dimensions into their music with different and not so complex songs like Paradox Hotel, Hit Me with a hit, also blending traditonal Symphonic Prog songs like Monsters and Men and the amazing Monster Within-like Minor Giant steps. (Probably my favorite TFK song since The Truth Will Set You Free)

Bodin and Froberg actually add their pens onto this album, but I must admit, Roine did the better writing.

The poetry that Roine and co. writes is of epic proportion. This album is by far one of the most complete The Flower Kings album and it was recorded in a very short amount of time. They coulda just recorded it live and it could have been just as good.

Recommended for all fans of Prog, especially ones who worship Modern Symphonic Prog.

I have all the studio albums, some bootlegs of live concerts (quite a few actually), the VdGG Biography, a VdGG T-Shirt and keychain... and I've seen them live too.
I've even got two of the The Long Hello vinyls!

Only thing I've not yet done is meet them.

For me Tony R is the PA collaborator who most obviously showcases his love

for a progrock band, he's always in the mood for:

..... RUSH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, I should write more about the Mellotron to get into this kind of polls

Posted By: stonebeard
Date Posted: June 02 2006 at 07:28

^ Perhaps, but then Tony never said he thought Alex Lifeson was sexy, but Flossy has made his infatuation for Mr. Gildenlocks public often.

Wow I still don't have a vote. I'm suprised. Considering I worship the altar of Dream Theater in my basement. I have all the official releases (studio and live, CD and DVD) seen them live, and I can play three albums entirely on bass no mistakes. Not to mention how much I've kissed their ass in every forum I've been on.

Yes, but Flossy splooges himself to Daniel Gildenlow pics daily so we kind of have to vote for him. Wink

Threefates has a devotion to ELP that borders on the manic. She doesnt post much these days because she cant cope with mixing it with the lads....

Also, what is a 'Biggest Fanboy...' poll without Valarius? Although I never saw him flame anyone in defence of DT, so maybe this disqualifies him...

that doesn't proove anything. I got the same thing going on with Rush: 30 discs in my cd binder, 5 shirts, keychain, 2 posters, 3 DVDs, neil's books, a belt buckle, 2 stickers on my truck (one that is about 8 inches that says "rush" in the debut album font and the starman) and I'm starting a vinyl collection of their music. I saw them live as well.

I'm not a "fanboy" of Pierre Moerlen, for the main reason that I am not male. And even if you want to call me a "fangirl", then please mention all the Neil Peart fanboys too. Pierre Moerlen WAS an extraordinary drummer; you don't win the Premier Prix du Percussion of the renowned academy of Strasbourg if you are not. The man has inspired and influenced my style of drumming more than anyone else.

^ fair enough. Peart definitely has his fair share of fanboys here. And I'm not questioning Pierre Moerlen's talent.

Re the 'fanboy' vs 'fangirl' thing, please read Tony's post I quoted.

EDIT: Although I cannot compare your devotion to Moerlen to Threefates' manic devotion to ELP. I apologise for this. I didn't read Tony's post attentively enough.
