Yes v. Pink Floyd

one has to understand that the topic is a little vauge. obviously technically YES is better than PF, but in terms of originality? they're both original. more artistic? PF is a little more but not by much. epics? thats another tough one. PF dont have as many since most of their albums are meant to be listened as a whole. Commercial success? PF had more consecutive hits, whereas YES had hits every other album or so. and Owner of a Lonely Heart is a sad excuse for a 'hit'.

All musicians in Yes are highly talented, Pink Floyd is only interesting because of David Gilmour. So my vote goes to Yes.

Yes to me are much more original, vibrant and atmospheric. Floyd - and I do like them - are relatively pedestrian and unimaginative, and no way as good instrumentally or in terms of songwriting

This is one tight contes, currently the score is still even.

Anyway, GO FLOYD!

Yes is incredible. Pink Floyd is enjoyable. Yes wins out on this one.

er...I may be a big Yes fan but even I have to admit that Floyd were the bigger band in terms of commercial success..........though undoubtedly yes were (are) the more capable musicians.

I love both bands but Yes were my first love so its got to be them.

Pink Floyd for me, I love more Floyd albums than Yes albums

Pink Floyd. I like psychedelic and space rock more than Yes's singing style. Also Waters's lyrics are far superior to Anderson's, just IMO.

this is a bad poll. Pink Floyd's music requires a lot of patience, due to the level of ambience, spacey and psychedelia in the music. YES requires patience, but a different kind. in other words, PF will play 5 notes for every 25 YES plays. their styles are also waaaaaaaayyy different
