The style of Pink Floyd is more to my liking, mostly for the emotions and lyrics - concept albums set a real task for the lyricist. In my personal ratings Pink Floyd has done more album masterpieces than Genesis. Both have done some crappy stuff too, I have to admit, but since Atom Heart Heart Floyd has done only good or excellent albums, in my opinion. I can't say the same about Genesis during the same lengthy span.

That's hard to say, I mean, if it wasn't for Pink Floyd, I probably wouldn't have even gotten into Genesis. However, I must say Pink Floyd.

Wait I just have to say something to this...



I'm gonna chose GENESIS because no one can display the emotions that
Gabriel and the band did IMO.

My thoughts exactly. As sure as eggs is eggs (@ the end of Supper's Ready). No emotion?

Anyway, my vote goes to Genesis.

I would say, I prefer Genesis (and I could easily add: anytime). For me Pink Floyd were always a little bit 'cold' or so (it's exactly the opposite meaning to some of you, but people are different, aren't they?).

Not that I have anything against Floyds (Wish You Were Here is great), but as I said above: give me Selling England By The Pound or Foxtrot and I'll be happy :-)

Seems to me like bands in different genres probably should not be compared, but I like listening to Genesis more so my vote goes to Genesis.
If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!

Poor Genesis, after having lost aginst Yes and Gentle Giant, they seriously risk against a psychedelic band...can't believe it!
