There's no getting away from the fact they both composed some mighty fine tunes tho.


True. One died far too young and long ago and the other imploded. I appreciate both for what they have given us. I think Mozart would have fit in fine with the 20th century prog scene.

I voted Mozart, but would choose Floyd. Because I am fun like that. My question is.. what the hell would you play these albums with on a desert island? I mean, I'd be hard pressed to find an electrical outlet somewhere. Maybe, melt some sand into glass, use the glass as a ramshackle energy conductor with water wheels and all sorts of fancy gadgetry from all the best sci-fi B movies?

For sheer quantity, Mozart.  For proximity, Floyd.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

How dare you post such an eclectic poll?  LOL
 
These two musics are so far away one from the other that it just not honest to answer it.  It's all in the mood, and everyone knows mood's for a day.  Yes, indeed.

Mozart is not poppy at all. it is true though that he can easily be played "poppy", at least some of his works. for example, the "Rondo alla Turca", but that is only the 3rd movement of his piano sonata No. 11. it is not Mozart's fault that some radio stations will play that movement only instead of the whole sonata, thus giving the impression he was "poppy", and so with many others of his works

Mad (but surprisingly successful) poll! Can we compare apples with melons? I think to creating a madder poll yet. Something like "King Crimson vs. Pavarotti"...LOL

I also think Pink Floyd could destroy Mozart with their lasers.  Wolfie didn't have access to any electronics if I'm not mistaken. Tongue

Then again maybe the OP was referring to some sort of lawsuit none of us are aware of...

Well I, for one, am glad the OP posted this poll. It tells me a lot about the membership of PA. Yeah, it's like comparing apples and oranges, but we learn a lot about people by what they choose and say. Big smile

I voted for the musical genius.

Pink Floyd, personally Mozart makes me sleepy but it's nothing personal.  He really did change a lot of music for the better.

I think this is absurd. PF never can come close to Mozart. Mozart is a pure genius, just like Beethoven, Brahms, Scriabin, Liszt, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Bach, D. Scarlatti, Prokofiev, Schumann etc. If somebody says that Mozart's music is boring, they are not mature enough to talk about it. None of PF's music can be up to their depth in music. And I think this can be also said about a lot of bands praised to death on this site, though I like real progressive music, which Pink Floyd is not, it's decadent, anachronistic, boring and without any value just like ELP, Jethro Tull, Spock's Beard, Transatlantic, Neal Morse solo and so on. No revolution anymore in them to Take hold of the flame (hint at QR on purpose). No offence.

Well , that's precisely my point. Maybe I'm an optimist, but when I read members comments it helps me to determine if I want to engage them in further discussion or just ignore them. But I must disagree about at least one Jethro Tull album, which does have depth, concept, beautiful lyrics, and takes some brains to figure out. And it isn't the one that is praised to death on this site, either. Big smile
