I was going to make Pink Floyd vs King Crimson poll, but then found this. I think the situtation will not be very much different without Black Sabbath?

I think there are more than six Big Six polls, and probably ELP are last every time

Interesting poll. I would say that KC are musically about half way between the two other bands.

^According to the "Emoticons" legend,
means "Ermm" which to me roughly translates as momentary uncertainty. In this case, what band comes first with Crimso to follow? I suppose I could have just as easily used  because AFlowerKingCrimson's post explained very little, and it didn't even address the thread's original question.Edited by Rednight - April 27 2018 at 15:22 |

I think I did. I was referring to sound wise or to be more specific the heaviness factor. KC were at times almost metallish while Floyd rarely was and BS almost always were.

I did in a previous post though. Do you want me to keep repeating myself? I'm not under stress.

I voted for King Crimson over Pink Floyd with Black Sabbath nowhere. I only really care about Floyd circa 1973 to 1980 and simply don't bother with the Syd stuff, the psyche wanderings of the early albums all the boring AORish late Gilmour stuff. With Crimson I like their debut and last album and adore Red. I enjoy some of the other albums and the live shows they did later on. A much more interesting band. Never got into Sabbath but they helped create a whole genre of music so fair play to them.

Crim by a landslide. I'll put their entire catalog up against any other band and the outcome is never in doubt.
Floyd were musically relevant from about 71-77, outside of that timeframe I find their material dicey as hell. That said, there were many better bands releasing more notable work than Floyd in that 71-77 span. Sabbath....I enjoy the first 4 albums, but I've never considered them a 'benchmark' group by any means.
