I have to disagree with you here, Vompatti One cannot compare how much better Floyd is compared to Rihanna, she has all that corporate marketing tools, all commercial machines behind her, the so called experts in no way comes she even close to Pink Floyd who to date are timeless. Her songs sell millions yes but they don't last, it's a momentary thing, soon people who listen to her forget the current song and move on either to a new one or another artist, I cannot see anyone in 10 years time playing a recent hit of hers or 5 years even, there's not enough I think to maintain the interest, it's more hype and current electronic beat plus heavy bass I think.     hugs

This clearly is the best topic on Progarchives at this moment. Amongst the bombastically serious ambiance, it gives me a tip of fresh air.
Oh, and a naive question from an ignorant figure such as myself: didn't Pink Floyd receive the same amount of promotional support from a rather mainstream and very rich promo-machine at their times and weren't they more commercially successful than, outquestionably curious hip hop extravaganza mentioned above?
Just curious.

I thought about making a serious approach to this poll, but decided otherwise.
