Pink Floyd v Mozart

At least we know what Jethro Tull is (if you get this joke taken from the film Armageddon). Nevertheless,  you're probably right on Jethro Tull, too many times I'm sticking to term progressive as having the meaning of something revolutionary redeeming the world, something musically and artistically superiority and singularity, something not have been told yet. And I hear too often that this is progressive, that is progressive, then almost everything is progressive. I think we should spare this term in case of bands mentioned just because they have keyboard-oriented structures and real-world noises and samplers. Personally, my biggest problem with bands like PF, JT, ELP, Yes, that the singing voice spoils everything, partly because they have squealery voice, and partly the singing narrows and restrains the capacity of music to broaden wide. I like when music is freely emanating capsizing every -ism and every barrier. Sure, these bands good moments and affability. But not the same category as the one Mozart belongs in, if you know what I mean.

And I think this can be also said about a lot of bands praised to death on this site, though I like real progressive music, which Pink Floyd is not, it's decadent, anachronistic, boring and without any value just like ELP, Jethro Tull, Spock's Beard, Transatlantic, Neal Morse solo and so on. No revolution anymore in them to Take hold of the flame (hint at QR on purpose). No offence.

What a silly poll.

Well I, for one, am glad the OP posted this poll. It tells me a lot about the membership of PA. Yeah, it's like comparing apples and oranges, but we learn a lot about people by what they choose and say.

I also think Pink Floyd could destroy Mozart with their lasers.  Wolfie didn't have access to any electronics if I'm not mistaken. 

Then again maybe the OP was referring to some sort of lawsuit none of us are aware of...

Well, you know, Wish you were here is nich and Dark side very good too... but... c´mon, you don´t f**k around when it comes to Mozart!

I voted Mozart, but would choose Floyd. Because I am fun like that. My question is.. what the hell would you play these albums with on a desert island? I mean, I'd be hard pressed to find an electrical outlet somewhere. Maybe, melt some sand into glass, use the glass as a ramshackle energy conductor with water wheels and all sorts of fancy gadgetry from all the best sci-fi B movies?
