I don't understand why create such a poll, like it's been previously said, it's really like comparing apples to oranges. |
apples and oranges? it's an old BARRET song, BEATLES had only apples! |
I know Apples and oranges is an early PF song

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.

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...

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.

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.

For me it's easy: Pink Floyd.
Although I like many Beatles songs and I admit that the Beatles are probably the most important group in pop / rock, I'm still in the first place a fan of progressive rock and in that respect Pink Floyd is one of my top favourite bands. From the Beatles only Abbey Road and maybe Sergeant Pepper are albums that are up there in my list of favourite albums.

I grew up with The Beatles, they were my musical heroes for years. Their song writing skills are unmatched and the impact they made will never be repeated. I think. However, funnily enough, I can't remember when I last gave any of their albums a spin, whilst I listen Floyd regularly. Maybe Floyd's music has stood the test of time better? Might be as simple as that.

It's a valid poll if the OP is interested in other's opinions on this site.I think one group had a more positive influence on their contemporaries, but that's just my opinion.

It's been said before. Apples and oranges. The Beatles came before Pink Floyd, apart from a slight overlap from 67 to 70. It is said that they were more than aware of each other's work while working in the Abbey Road studio's. I guess they influenced each other in the latter days of the Fab. Still both bands are incompatible and incomparable. They each have merits of their own. Prog ows a lot to both. Impossible to chose. Picking one of them to listen to is a question of mood.

Go walk yourself off a vastly tall cliff. Just kidding, big fella! But seriously, how can you say that? I'll go with those lads from Liverpool.

The melodic innovation is pure and net progression with The Beatles. No Beatles no Floyd.
