Looks like this poll is anticipating Undercoverboy's "Battle of the Prog Bands" finale

I prefer KC but Floyd's "Animals" is better than any other KC's album for me . Though "Starless" is one of my top 3  of all times......

For a bunch who eschew popularity we surely have a lot of top 10 etc lists.Confused

Crimson make rather austere music. PF became poular on their own terms. Crim blew it in 74 when Fripp went doolally. KC are a favourite of mine. So are Pink Floyd.

It's like saying Wish You Were Here or Red.....

This is worse than my up coming political elections. Assassinate the lot of them see if I care, I'll help. Rapid fire witha pop gun, anything.

But choose between KC and PF?

let's see, can't do it on the basis of great albums so years of touring and material releases. Not counting Box sets CKollector's cKlub boots etc. So we shall think of them as footy teams. Here's the results.

PF 67 no KC                        1-0
PF in 68 no KC                    1-0
PF and KC in 69 -74           6-6
PF in 75                                1-0
PF in 77                                1-0
PF in 79                                1-0
PF in 80                                1-0
KC and PF in 81                 1-1
KC in 82                               0-1
PF and KC in 83                 1-1
KC in 84                               0-1
PF in 87. 88. 89, 90            4-0
PF and KC in 94                 1-1    
KC in 95, 96                         0-2
KC in 2001                           0-1
                                           19-14
2002 to now? South Circular Relegation league. Both of them.

Summary KC a great Cup Side. PF win the league.

I voted Floyd, but just because I have only heard one King Crimson album.  (In the Court...)

Comparing King Crimson to Pink Floyd is a disgrace to King Crimson!
King Crimson made more good and innovative music than Pink Floyd.

Of the 13 KC albums only one is mediocre by my book, TCOL. And I'd rather listen to that album than The Final Cut or the studio side of Ummagumma, jeebus.

At least PF didn't become Philesis after Waters left.
 
Genesis still put out 5 good albums without Gabriel and 2 that are ok but have some great tracks, Pink Floyd had one good post Waters album and one ok one but that's it.
 
Soooooooooo
 
Post Gabriel Genesis >>>>> Post Waters Floyd
 
I can just pretend that We Can't Dance never happened.


You obviously don't know what you're talking about, this is just all nonsense

I have always seen them complementing each other. Like white bread and peanut butter. Neither of them would be as good without the other.
All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me. Marillion - Freaks (1988).
