I like both a lot but PF a bit more. Well, quite a lot more actually even though they have many just ok or even mediocre to barely anjoyable albums and Genesis at their best are truly brilliant. Floyd just means more to me.

A slight, and I mean very slight edge to Pink Floyd. When I voted, it made it 24 -24! No complaints about either group from the start to the end.

I'm going to have to go with Floyd on this one even though I didn't have the option to vote. Pink Floyd was the first progressive band I got into when I was 14 years old. I didn't actually get into Genesis until I was 25 as I was fully immersed in the progressive scene at that time and I went back and checked out the classic prog bands such as K.C,Yes,and Genesis. I kind of backtracked. I've always been more into the space rock sub genre anyways but of course they are both exceptional bands.

Hmmm. A very difficult poll. Okay, I will rationalise.
The original The Pink Floyd Piper...was a classic of 60's underground psychadelia, with only a real glancing relation to prog. After that until Meddle, I thought they were patchy whilst they found themselves. Flashes of genius, but overall inconsistent. Then the run from Meddle to The Wall was pure genius. The Final Cut was essentially a Waters solo project with the Floyd name, Momentary Lapse was, IMO, a credible attempt at recreating the classic Floyd sound, and The Division Bell was simply awful, a travesty of Floyd. Genesis' debut was a bunch of public school kids showing promise, whilst the run of Tresspass to Duke was nigh on perfect to my ears. Even after that, the mix of prog and classic pop was, in the main, exceptional. The only really bad album they made was the second side of Genesis, and even the first side contained three utter classics. I love them both, but Genesis pip it on the above thought processes.  |

Time to toss the coin. Heads for Pink Floyd because all the psychadelia, and Tails for Genesis because of the Trick. Here goes - and the answer is . . . .

Impossible poll is impossible to answer...
 I think I'll vote Pink Floyd because they were the first prog band I heard, I've loved them since the very first time I can remember hearing them, even though I didn't know what band it was at the time my mom had played A Collection of Great Dance Songs ever since I was young. |

Hey I evened it up!
Anyway the reason I voted for Genesis (early Genesis of course) was because of personal preference really, they're both wonderful groups but I must say I do prefer the acoustic softer guitar sound of Selling England by the Pound, amongst others, over the psychedelic sounds of Pink Floyd. Plus Genesis were more complex and 'epic'.
In my opinion of course.

Pink Floyd wins.
Gabriel's solo work up against the Floyd would have been a much harder choice in my opinion.  |

The Anderson Council?  Too bad they didn't go that route, it is much more sci-fi sounding, although The Pink Floyd Sound and all it's derivatives are good names too. |
