 This is subjective of course. However, something I feel turns the balance in favor of Floyd, is that their songs are more timeless. Whereas Yes songs have a big flaw. They use too many choruses repeated all over the place, making them somehow very memorable but also less interesting every time you listen to them again and again. Floyd's manage to be a nice backgrouond to relax and listen no matter how many times you've listened to them in the past. Take Shine on you crazy Diamond. Those touching lines are a perfect match for a drink anytime. And take Close to the edge, although it is a great song, something in my mind tells me I'm about to listen to something I could sing along because of the repetitive chorus throughout. Plus, FLoyd's songs sound way more inspired and sincere.
