King Crimson. KC's member (all of them ) were better than PF's member. For example Fripp is (was) better than Gilmour (IMO). I zoom on technical notes for this comparation. Now if I compare these 2 base on exciting notes or emotional parameters, I go with PF. PF's music is (was) very cute! and sweet. They knew how to impress to their listeners. They use many tricks to force you to say : WOW. They aren't (weren't) "High Tech" instrument players like Fripp or Levin or Bruford but they use "Media" potential, political lyrics (with expiration date!) on right time, Magnificent live performance and .... to impress to their listeners. If you looking to their fans, You can find all kind of peoples that enjoy them. From intellectual guys to ordinary peoples.
KC's story is very different. I never want to say KC's fans are intellectual or special. No. I want to say KC's fans zoom on technical and musical parameters more and this make them different to PF's fans. Real KC's fan never go to their concert to see "Laser Show". I dont want explain more because this is a poll .
Anytime you ask me this question I answer to you : King Crimson.

Pink Floyd without hesitation.Liked them from first hearing.
KC have tolerated status with me and it took them 20 years to reach this status.

I don't mind Floyd, but they pale in comparison to King Crimson in every way imaginable. Originality, musicianship, not sounding generic and the exact same always, and having Robert Fripp. And I like how when KC plays shows they play a show, not play me movies and play music behind it. Floyd is pretty cliche'd in my opinion, whereas nobody has ever sounded remotely like KC (in any carnation).

Is there any Crim ... out there! The weirdest KC versus the weirdest PF. Thrakattak is weirder than Ummagumma? Should Red be the equal / equivalent of Dark Side?

I would have to completely disagree with nobody sounding like King Crimson in any carnation. A lot of similarities can be seen between King Crimson's first couple of albums(not entirely), but quite a lot of similarities between them and the Moody Blues. Which were before King Crimson. The Talking Heads also sounded a lot like Discipline through Three of a Perfect Pair King Crimson before King Crimson had started playing that style. There are quite a few similarities between VDGG, and King Crimson. Van Der Graaf Generator also predates King Crimson. However, Pink Floyd have also gone through so many different styles just like King Crimson. Nobody sounds like Barret Era Floyd at all which was awesome. Saucerful of Secrets is also very experimental. Their Soundtrack to the Film More, Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother, Their newer stuff was experimental lyrically, and they were very good instrumentally. I think even to some degree King Crimson may have taken some inspiration from Zappa's amazing Jazz.

Vote is tied at 182!!!
Has this ever happened that anyone can remember? With so many votes, I really doubt it has.

Well the recent tournament of all prog bands had Genesis tied with Yes (several times.) Replays etc pushed Genesis ahead in the end. It's all Bill Bruford's fault for playing drums with 3 of these outfits.

Floyd. There aren't many bands that could string together four stellar albums in a row like Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall -- and King Crimson aint one of those bands.

Indeed. And before this albums they did Meddle (which is almost as good), as well as the Live in Pompeii video (which is completley as good as these later albums). And though many surely disagree with me, both post Waters albums were really great too, specially The Division Bell, which I like about as much as the four albums you mentioned.

The Division Bell is a bunch of uninspired pop, and then one of the best PF tracks of all time with High Hopes.

This is an easy choice for me. Both were very creative at their best, but King Crimson has so many more sides than Pink Floyd, that it's easy for me to say Crimso. Pink Floyd's high points were Echoes (not the A-side of Meddle, though), the entire DSOTM and the A-side of Atom Heart Mother, but apart from that, Floyd are far too inwards looking for my taste. King Crimson has explored the unknown territories of prog in a way few others have.

I had to compare the best and worst by both, and Wish You Were Here is better than Lark's Tongues, and since KC have a bunch of trash, and PF only have a couple in their later discography, it has to be Pink Floyd.....
....even though I think Nick Mason is the world's dullest drummer.
