Battle of the Prog Bands SFD2: Floyd vs. Rush - Progressive Rock Music Forum

This was very close.

Rush had five "great" LP's:

2112

A Farewell To Kings

Hemispheres

Permanent Waves

Moving Pictures

Pink Floyd had five "great" records:

Meddle

Dark Side Of The Moon

Wish You Were Here

Animals

The Wall

So the question is: who had more "good" albums?

Pink Floyd!!!

You chose to revive a poll from years ago in order to express your opinion of the band that lost the poll back then, but without actually having anything to say on the matter?
If it was a close thing then certainly a case can be made for such a wordless revival.
Sorry, not wordless, my bad. A single word.

And how many other years-old polls have been similarly revived for essentially no reason?
You can vote without commenting, y'know.

Pink Floyd is an OVERRATED band, FACT! No one can convince me otherwise. That band get so much undeserved credit in the world of rock music. On nearly every list Pink Floyd is in top 5 rock bands of all time. I can never agree with it.

I feel the exact opposite but then again I am a big Floyd fan that only rarely spin Rush albums Tongue

They do have a couple of alright records under their belt - Caress Of Steel and Signals to be more exact.

Rush. Lifelong fan.

Poll's over! The winner of the Semi-finals Division 2 is Pink Floyd. They will now move onto the Finals, and Rush is out of the tournament. See you at the next and last match of Battle of the Prog Bands!

^ I also predict a smashing of PF

^ This kid. I like Floyd, but it never clicked with me as much as Rush. Cygnus on.

Nothing from Gilmour is hard to play!!

Er, yeah, if how beautifully the part is played is absolutely irrelevant and only the physical difficulty is to be rated! Confused

The quality of the rendering is the most important parameter of rating a musician for me and just because the notes by themselves are simple does not mean playing them the way they are meant to be played is. It is of course your choice, but you are stuck in a "citius, altius, fortius" way of looking at music.

I'm not at all actually, I appreciate tons of different music, and I really love Pink Floyd, with my favorite albums being Meddle and Animals. Just debating here that's all, and in my personal opinion Lifeson is better, and Lifeson sounds better. Gilmour has his great moments for me as well, like the last solo in comfortably numb. My favorite band is Tool, and there guitar player is mediocre at best but it fits the music perfectly. So I know what your saying, i just disagree.

Neither "Fur Elise" is hard to play. We all know that Beethoven was a nerd...

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
