Pink Floyd definately but King Crimson is awesome too
The reason for my choice is that Pink Floyd was one of my favorite bands even before I knew what Prog was, Wish You Were Here was the reason I even got interested in this genre

Love both (definitely not all their albums), but Crimso has the edge slightly.

Definitely Pink Floyd. I only like King Crimson albums from In the court to the Crimson King to Red, and even in that period I don't think they were as consistent in quality as Floyd.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

I don't have as much trouble choosing as others seem to, I find myself listening to PF on a less and less regular basis. They're a good band, but for my tastes they don't quite...do it for me most of the time.

You're right Sacred 22 , it's not easy to choose in these Polls between Giants that we all agree about their
greatness , But i believe that the balance is not Equal at all times . Both bands , Pink Floyd & King Crimson are maybe the best two Giants in the world of Progressive Rock music , but for many reasons , you surely have favourite between both , so , why not to cast yur vote the way you feel it's right . From my point of view , I've been following both since 1969 , it was like only yesterday when i discovered In the Court and Meddle , Ummagumma and Lizard , 40 years of the best progressive music from both , the Crimsons and the Floyds , and it was always a matter of line - up . And in their case , Gilmour - Waters - Wright // against Fripp and so so so so many good musicians in 40 years , that's why I vote for Fripp , cause he stood Still all this period without looking back , he's a winner and one of the best musicians ever .

No vote from me -- I'd pick either, both, or neither, depending on my mood at any given time. My moods vary. My tastes in music range far. I don't view my music collection as some sort of sonic "war zone."
Sorry, but I'll say it again: many pollsters here must be record company execs with limited budgets (and even more limited vision), accountant-types, or just plain lacking in original topics for polls and threads.  |
I could not agree more with you, but this is cyber space and it's not really about the music as it is a place for all us curious souls to come and meet. I see it as a kind of place where we can throw a few ideas around and even venture off into the absurd, but it's fun man. hey, why not. I have ventured a bit further into progressive music because of this web site. We are all a bit unique in our own crazy progressive ways........ You know, 'my dad can beat your dad up'...............hmmmmm, I often wondered what the outcome would have been given the opertunity to wintness such an event. It never happened though.................

What fresh hell is this poll? Making us choose? Some vile beast must have put you up to it.
Well... I enjoy Pink Floyd more, but King Crimson are more technically proficient and progressive, in that sense.
Lyrically, I'd say Pink Floyd is a bit more direct in the delivery, but perhaps not as vivid. One is jazzier and one is bluesier. (in a general sense, not in direct sound, but in spirit) I hate comparing, because I love both so much. I like Pink Floyd more, over all, but I enjoy Red more than any Pink Floyd album... I am only voting Pink Floyd to attempt to tie it up.

Blimey - I must have had too much to drinkl  There was me thinking that Floyd were exceptional musicians who produced some of the most influential music of all time and who will be remembered long after all of us are playing our harps in the clouds. I love KC, but, yes, they did produce some sh*te, and I am afraid that they were nowhere near as consistently good as PF IMO. Neither, sadly, will radio be playing Larks Tongues in Aspic parts one to (whatever it's up to now) in 200 years time, as I suspect they will with DSOM and WYWH.

Well, I'm just not into KC that much. Discipline, Three of a Perfect Pair and In the Court of the Crimson King are the standouts.
Pink Floyd had the first excellent album with Syd, that on it's own would win it for them, I also love Atom Heart Mother, I know a lot of Floyd fans are split over that & the Floyd themselves don't seem particularly keen on it, but I think Geeson's orchestration was fantastic and made the album bubble. Darkside, Animals and Meddle are all fine too. Wall and Final Cut are dark to the point of silliness, I preferred the Watersless albums.

I like two KC albums, buit both are outstanding, probably better than any PF album, but tghe ones thatat io don't like, are simply horrendous for my taste, on the other hand I like most Pink Floyd Catalogue, maybe none of them as much as ITCOTCK, but i don't dislike any PF album..
So based in pure taste, I'll go witth PF.
