Interesting idea.
Floyd by a mile but the whole Hawkwind/Nektar/Pink Fairies/Man thing was something i thrived on as a kid - it was something you felt you could really be part of, unlike Floyd which was always way beyond the direct accessibility of mere mortals, as it were.
Interestingly I still play all the bands I've mentioned about equally, but I still listen to Floyd more often than all the others put together.

It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

HAWKWIND, of course. Pink Floyd are really boring, and a very overrated band, in my opinion. For many people results cool to say that PF are great, even after just only listening to a couple of songs...

Note to all fans of prog rock:
It has been at least 30 years, since Pink Floyd was ever considered to be, in any way 'cool' In the eyes of most people, they are about as cool as Mike and the Mechanics, and are generally regarded as the sort of band that hangs out with Prince Charles and Tory MP's. Keep the 'cool' thing in perspective yeah...

I really laugh when people say Pink Floyd is boring and they often listen them ...is curious really curious....if i don't like a group i don't listen his music, but Floyd is something magic, especial...people thath don't like Floyd listen to them and rate the albums in some webs only for his hate to the band. It's curious when somebody say a band is overrated, because the ''overrated bands'' are always the most importants bands in rock history: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Floyd, The Who...

NOTE to Blacksword? No other band can be described as about as cool as Mike and the Mechanics tis impossible!
Hawkwind though are cooler than PF and I love the earlier stuff and Calvert era. Hawkwind make me happier than PF and have always been a people's band not the type tha collect cars for a living.

If I were asked who was the most 'cool' out of Hawkwind and Pink Floyd, I would have to agree that Hawkwind are the most 'cool' This may seem ridiculous to some, but they picked up a multitude of new fans during the rave era of the 90's. I'm sure the Hawks would resonate more, and indeed 'oscillate' more with the 'cool' trance, ambient and hard house fraternity.

Both bands are responsible for me "getting into" music in my early teens so both are very important to me.
Hawkwind win by a nose (beak?).
But neither band has produced anything I'm really interested in for many years...

This is truly funny due to personal reasons between me and my prog buddy  You have a great sense of humour. We are always waiting for your response, man it's the way you put things into perspective. Most of what you have to say is true to us and sarcastic. We don't mean to put you on the spot, but humour like yours is rare. We appreciate it

Hawkwind may be freaky, but that doesn't make them better than Pink Floyd. However, with Warrior on the Edge of Time they came rather close.
