Well, I like four Pink Floyd albums and don't really dislike any of them, I only love one King Crimson album, like two songs of another one, and hate a lot of their production.
So, it's obvious, Pink Floyd even when they are not going to win.

I'm not sure if this notion has much relevance but which band to date has the most votes? Be funny if KC (who I expect to win) got less votes than others and still managed to be number one on the top 10 hit parade....

Pink Floyd for me, there are much more albums from them I like completley, and much less songs I don't really like from them. However, even if it is very contradictory, I would be rather disapointed with the forum if King Crimson lost this poll... still, I expected this match to be closer.

KIng Crimson only has released two good albums to me, which are LTiA and S&BB, while PF's nearly entire discography is great. So, easy choice.

It depends upon what day it is. I like them both a great deal. Which one I play depends upon my mood at the time. Call me an oddball, but I just don't view music as a competition. (At least, not since I was about 14.)
There are artists I like, and artists I don't like -- when I like two, I don't think along the lines of "which one do I like more?" -- at least, not consciously. I just buy CDs from them both.
Plus, Crimson have had so many diverse incarnations that they don't even have one "sound" to think of. (I might say something similar of Floyd -- I find the early, really freaky "acid" stuff to be unlistenable, but love Meddle to Animals. (The Wall just depresses me -- I find it really drags.)
Can't vote without a "both" option -- I prefer both of these fine bands to hundreds of other artists.

What is a pasta bolognaise? Apparently it is plain but delicious, like fresh baked bread.

Gotta give it to Crimso. I'm not extremely fond of the post-70s output of either of them (with the exception of the brilliant Power to Believe) but Crimson was more consistent during the early career.

The two deserved finalists and both in my top 5 of favorite bands.
I love Pink Floyd especially for their early years (68-71), Crimson for their entire career.
Just listened to Careful with that Axe and I'll go with the Floyd !

We're now speaking of the top. I want to say that Pink Floyd have contributed to prog's popularity more than everybody else. This is why I vote for them. I mean popularity not only in the "commercial" sense. Bands like Mosly Autumn, RPWL, more or less all the Heavy Prog bands since Porcupine Tree have a debt with Pink Floyd. The nfluence of KC in the prog world, probably because Fripp is too genious to be imited, is limited to the excursions of KC members into other bands: Lake with ELP, Bruford with Yes (and Your Is No Disgrace is more a KC song IMO), Mel Collins with everybody else and Fripp with almost nobody.
So two very different bands. Prog world needs them both and more.
BUT FOR ME PINK FLOYD IS THE TOP.  |

Is there any band you you wouldn't vote for when paired up with KC?
