Two of my favourite bands. The Beatles are heroes. Possibly they did better songs, Floyd made better albums, better masterpieces.
And as Pink Floyd can make me cry, and Beatles don't, emotionally I think Pink Floyd are far ahead.
I go for Floyd.

Three genius songwriters versus one would have been genius songwriter (if he hadn't blown his mind apart with acid), a genius lyricist and a genius guitarist.

Ok, The Beatles came first and Rock n' Roll was shaped by them. They turned Rock into an art form, but only later in their career, and Sgt. Peppers is their masterpiece. But then PF came with their 1st album and blew Sgt. Peppers out of the water, then they released The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall. So is a no-brainer really. By the way, about the RS list of the best guitarists, let's just say that they rated Kurt Cobain above Mark Knopfler...

Pink Floyd by far
I don't understand why create such a poll, like it's been previously said, it's really like comparing apples to oranges.

Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath are my favourite bands.
However, i voted for The Beatles, because they were the most important/infuential band in the history of rock.

Obviously on a prog website Pink Floyd is going to win even against a giant like the Beatles

I know that the Beatles are the most influential band of all time, but I don't agree that they are the greatest rock band ever just because they were the first. They were a great band, but there were so many bands that expanded their work. The Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Genesis etc... Is the same thing with Black Sabbath/Iron Maiden. Everybody agrees that Black Sabbath invented hard rock, but the fact is that Maiden took the genre beyond and it is the greatest metal band ever.

Exactly. They were the most important band, not the best. As far as Black Sabbath and heavy rock are concerned, this is another complicated story.

I could not have articulated this any better.....Bonnek is my new hero |
 I can articulate it much better.
"If I Fell"; "Michelle"; "Girl"; "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"; "This Boy"; "Something", etc. Not to mention "Why Don't We Do It In The Road".

Pretty much a tie. Both are very near the top of my list.
