 Topic: Pink Floyd v Mozart
Posted: October 10 2010 at 08:49 |
I voted floyd cause I simply don't listen to mozart (at least not yet) and I have to learn some mozart to get accepted in college. Although, he's influenced music wayyyy more than Floyd...

I voted WA Mozart because his music is much more outstanding than Pink Floyd's.
This is BEAUTIFUL :

Mozart is an absolute genius and any one of his works contains more thought and musical intensity than Floyd's entire discography.
I'll choose Mozart.
And no I'm not a classical snob, I don't even listen to much classical. It just seems so ridiculous to imply that Floyd is better than Mozart.

Strange that this poll was resurrected after 18 months.
Mr Maestro identifies what many posters failed to understand. The question was "which do you prefer" not "which is better". The purpose was to discover how popular classical music is among progressive rock fans. It could have been Yes vs Beethoven but Pink Floyd is probably the most well known prog rock band and Mozart is probably the most well known classical composer.
Pink Floyd won the vote which is only to be expected on a prog rock site. I suspect a similar poll on a classical music site would have resulted in a rather more emphatic win for Mozart (if anyone bothered to vote at all).
The arrogant response of some of those who supported Mozart on this thread was a bit disappointing. |
I agree. Why do people really value Mozart so much that they won't even let him be discussed in the same sentence as "some band who's automatically inferior"? Anyway he is good of course, but I love Stravinsky and Debussy. Oh and Pink Floyd...

Tried some of Mozart's string arrangements and was completely bored to tears. There are a lot of classical composers I enjoy listening to but Mozart isn't one of them. Pink Floyd easily.

Floyd for me, Mozart for all humankind for the next 1 (2-3 or more, I don't know) hundred years.

 I can't remember if I responded to this thread in the first place, but if I didn't I prefer to listen to Pink Floyd, I like classical but I am not often in the mood for it. Edit: I didn't.
