Any more votes?

You and I both know It's Animals

  Not much difference in my opinion. Dark Side of the Moon is better than anything Genesis put out but then Genesis have about 7 really good albums whereas Floyd drop away after Wish You were Here and Meddle.

I get more nauseated by Roger Waters " me the hero against a world that sucks" than Phil Collins pop pretensions.Pink Floyd may have been saved if Roger had only taken his medication.

 I prefer Gabriel's lyrics to Waters much more thought provoking and intrigueing.

Genesis for me!

My fave album with Genesis is Foxtrot!

Floyd also have this cold isolated atmosphere on their records which is so beautiful and haunting but cold enough still to not go into that dangerous soppy place. Floyd keep their dignity and im not saying Genesis do not have aome of these things all i'm saying is Floyd has the whole package and will still be necessary in one hundred years but im not sure bout Genesis

"If you think that it's pretentious you've been taken for a ride" Gabriel in It
from LLDOB.

You have been taken for a ride. Gabriels lyrics are incredible. The "a
flower" isn't necessary or meaningful? What do you know about the story
of narcisus? It is very meaningful once you learn about the old story. In
fact Genesis' lyrics during the Gabriel days were NEVER unmeaningful.
They used dark humor a lot but that was not meant to take away from the
meaning and importance of the songs at all. It only intensified them.

 Well said

Pink Floyd introduced me to prog and to rock music in general...I voted for them

I'd have to go with Genesis, although Pink Floyd did get me into Prog....still Genesis wins my vote.

I really can't decide.

Gun point or not winterwine floyd have the more listenable music and the classic tracks to back them up
