Floyd were my first love, they were then supplanted by Crimson, both are still top 5 for me. Crimson just get the edge for me.
That the final isn't Yes vs Genesis makes me very very happy.
Great competition Micky, well done (Univers Zero were robbed)

Agreed. Floyd was my gateway drug into the world of progressive rock. After having discovered Floyd I was loaned a copy of "A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson," still remember that funky album cover. At any rate, the album was a complete revelation, and since that time King Crimson has been the pinnacle of prog rock for me.

Yoohoo! In the lead now. Well at least the Crimson King won't go down without a fight, unlike previous hapless victims of Floyd.

The Mighty Crimso will triumph!
And even if they don't, at least Gong beat Rush and have taken their rightful place as one of the Tier I '70's bands.

Floyd were my first love and demonstrated their writing talents on a number of great albums,
... but ...
King Crimson's music has a longer-lasting effect. And they came around on my radar about the same time Floyd did ... and not only have they demonstrated their writing talents on a number of great albums, but ... they are also chopsmen, for christ's sake.
Gotta be the latter.

Pink Floyd. They simply have far more albums I care about compared to Crimson. King Crimson is quite uneven, even in their best albums (the interminable tinkling of Moonchild, the long indefinite noodling of Providence, etc.), and Floyd trumps Crimson in the actual songwriting category, it's not even close.

Pink Floyd all the way. Maybe if I'd never heard them over the last forty-plus years and only gave them a listen this week, then it's hypothetically possible that I'd vote otherwise.....but nah, who'm I kidding?

King Crimson.
I've always liked Floyd, liked Floyd a great deal, but I never got to loving them, with all due respect. I do love Lizard, Lark's Tongues, Starless and Bible Black, and Discipline, and I finally got the sort of guitar orgy I was always looking for with Space Groove. Besides, a vote for Crimson is a show of respect for Genesis who they slightly edged out in the semi-final.

I love Floyd, and maybe a year ago my vote would have been different, but going with KC. None of their albums I loved (or hardly liked) on first listen, but after a few listens and some time, they've always revealed themselves to me and become high up in my favorites.

One thing is for sure: this site has changed a lot (mostly for the better  )
in the past few years. Five years ago, this contest might well have had
Dream Theater in the lead, or have ended up with an unsurprising Yes vs
Genesis match-up. Kudos to everyone for shaking things up  !
