Genesis are my favorite band and I think Supper's Ready is the greatest piece of rock music ever
Floyd are great, but not quite as great

Floyd by far. I'm getting more into Genesis, but what I've heard can't compare with Animals or WYWH at all. For one thing, WYWH is eargasmic; the experience of the third and fourth time I listened to the high guitar solo on SOYCD pt. 2 has never been duplicated by any other music I've ever heard.

Not all of Floyd's lyrics are depressing; on DSOTM the only song that is really depressing is Time. I think Waters' lyrics are better; he writes lyrics which are powerful and sound great without having insane allusions and puns like Gabriel seems to enjoy so much. Waters is serious most of the time, but not always depressing. I don't like his post-Animals work all that much anyway; it's too whiny.

Pink Floyd for me. I have nothing against genesis or anything, but im just not into that symphonic stuff at all. Im not really in to any of the classic prog acts that are listed as "symphonic", that may surprice some people and maybe some people think that i dont really like prog at all because its those bands that sort of "created" the genre prog. And what do I know, maybe their right.

But im just more into psychedelic, avant-garde and jazzy stuff. I never get symphonic stuff, its to dull for me, it doesn't speak to me really. Im sure alot of the syphonic bands were more skillfull musicians then floyd and anything, but I cant help it, im just more intriged by "psychedelic" sounds.

 Im not going to vote. I love both bands. By the way why do you have to like one over the other or Yes over King Crimson or Elp or Tull or whatever. They are all great. Who really gives a f**k what someone else thinks if you like one better good for you.

Pink Floyd. They have many great albums like Animals, Atom Heart Mother, DSOTM, WYWH, ...
But I like Genesis too (SEBTP is great)

Both bands are equal at their peaks imo (pink floyd being wish you were here genesis being foxtrot) but the consistency of floyd wins me.

For me, Genesis by far, I find them more interesting, more complex and technically better, but nevertheless Pink Floyd is a great band, but Genesis is the prog-rock king, even after hackett and gabriel left, I really like phil collins and also the more pop orientated side!

I think that Genesis loses ground to Floyd, Yes, Tull, etc, due to the post-Gabriel-Hackett era.

During the Gabriel-Hackett era, the band was brilliant, the best IMHO , but the fall in quality was tremendous after they worked with another singer and frontman and had no virtuoso guitar player.

If one does the average between the 2 different Genesis phases the result unfortunately won't be glorious for the band but if one looks only the Gabriel-Hackett era then Genesis can align with the real prog giants - a place well deserved.

Pink Floyd. Immobile, the most influential band.  (IMHO)

One of the hardest polls ever for me...

Pink Floyd was my first prog band...

Genesis are awesome..

IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE

But I'll vote for Floyd - they are half-a-step forward
PF, Genesis, KC, Yes, VdGG, GG, Camel, Jethro Tull

I would vote for Kansas over Genesis BTW   some of kansas`s  material  has  awakened me to my own spirtual awareness  ... thats why I get frustrated when some people  judge them without listening to their  less commercial side properly   by rights kansas should be in the top 10 Cd`s  with leftoverture ..  but  its  83  or  some  crazy  thing  like  that

Why is Genesis getting the raw deal lately?  Tull beating Genesis...now Pink Floyd??? Soon Kansas...

Genesis, though only because Pink Floyd has less perfection to offer, IMO of course. But it is fairly close.

on  a musical scale of things Floyd  don`t come anywhere near  what genesis reached back in the gabriel  era ..  I see floyd as poor mans prog  ..  pretend prog if you will     a glorified blues band pretending to be prog  (progressive rock demands blistering keyboard solos and  time signatures that confuse the hell out of you but sound great !)  Floyd  are  too basic   far too simple  so I voted for genesis  but I`ll have to  ignore the collins  influence  with the vocals in the later  years
