pink floyd is one of my favorite bands, but yes is still much better. they're much better musicians, and more origianal. as for floyd's epics being better than yes', i must say that i greatly disagree. dogs and shine on you crazy diamond are great, but nothing compares to close to the edge, awaken, or anything off of tales from topographic oceans

Yes is Yes, Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd. You can't say what's better.

I voted for Yes, because I can always listen to Yes, but not always to Pink Floyd...

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

Yes...i voted for Pink Floyd...
i believe that when it comes to compare such great bands the answer can only be subjective...so, since i enjoy Floyd better, my vote goes there...

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.

there is no way pink floyd is better than yes. When u get down to it
Yes had way more hits than Pink floyd, is more crowd pleasing and all
around good. where as pink floyd is more of a simple groove band. David
gilmour is good but his solos are no where near as good as steve
howe's.

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.

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

Finally decided, after much deliberation - I vote for Pink Floyd. The atmospheres they create are far superior to Yes.
Of course, Yes are masters of the more uptempo happy sound.
I prefer the dark, doom-laden soundscapes of Floyd.
(Next week, however, who knows.....)  |

It's funny it was tied before I voted.
My vote goes to Yes, they are much more important in my life than Pink Floyd

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 poll just isn't fair! It's like asking a child "who do you love more...your mum or your dad?"
Yes, an answer will show, but it won't be fair!  . |

I like Tormato, so shoot me! Every person in the world can't think the same.

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