You have to be kidding!! This is like comparing apples and bananas. Pink Floyd is without a doubt the best Psychedelic/Space Rock band of all times!! And, YES is one of the best Symphonic Bands of all times I probably would had compared YES against GENESIS,VDGG,ELP,KC etc..you get the point!!! But since the poll is done!!...I have to stick with PF, since they put out so many different albums (just to mention in what I believe ther pinnacle!!!... Dark side, Wishing you... and Animals!!!) these three sounding so different from each other but, at the same time belonging to the same Genre, and they are to me individual MASTERPIECES .... that is in my opinion, the major difference between these two oustanding bands, and what makes PF so unique overall, not just against YES but most all the others progressive rock bands in general. There you have it!!!....plain and simple. Thanks................................

i like pink floyd very much, but yes is just amazing. bill bruford (my favourite drummer), chris squire (one of my favourite bassists), steve howe (an amazing guitarist), jon anderson (his voice is unique) and rick wakeman (the best keybordist in the world together with keith emerson). man this is one of the bests formation of all times!!! ------------- a plague of lighthouse keepers |

Great review. Yes, in order to define "The best", you´d have to evaluate them on aspects any band from any genre can be measured by. (Is "by" correct here?) Like: Diversity, original concept, original sounds, original style in general, diversity within their discography, intrumentation skills, lyrics, Songwritting, creativity to perform a wide range of atmospheres, moods, "images"..... In such case, I´d go for Pink Floyd

The Pink Floyd schism between Waters and the other three was not as bad as the schism in which there were to bands called Yes at the same time. Plus Pink Floyd had better lyrics in my opinion |

It's a very difficult poll, this one. I listen to Yes a lot more than Floyd. I've heard everything in the Yes canon apart from the box sets, while there are some glaring omissions in my Floyd collection - strange as it my sound, I've never heard 'Ummagumma' 'AHM' or 'Animals'. However, I feel I have to vote for Floyd, as IMO they have created the best music of all time, eclipsing anything by Gabriel era Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, the Moodies, etc. I'd be very tempted to vote for Floyd on the basis of 'The Final Cut' alone.
With best wishes Martinfloydman. |

JAJAJAJAJA. Now this is trully hillarious ˇˇˇ Man ˇˇ. You are from England and have not heard Atom nor Animals and still are able to say they are better than any Crimson, Genesis and Yes?... Have you heard every classic album by these bands you mentioned ?. I hope you´re not judging Floyd against Yes for liking "Learning to fly". The final cut as better than any Crimson and Genesis??ˇˇˇ. ....Man ˇˇ. That album was an inch close to being a cassete-book (these books in tape with only narrative voice) about the second WW.ˇˇˇ. In my opinion, YES and Floyd are very different bands. Floyd has more diversity, more feeling and better textures. Probably, even better songwriting. YES has way better instrumentation. Both bands have tons of very entertaining and enjoyable songs. I couldn´t name one as better. |

Though decision... I still need more time to think about one. They're both different, one is psychedelic/space rock and the other symphonic prog. They're both excellent bands and respectfull players, although I find Steve Howe more technical than David Gilmour ------------- KEEP THE PROMISE YOU MADE |

Pink Floyd easily beat Yes as they are far more emaganetive than Yes and can match them on technical ability. This poll should be between Pink Floyd and Genesis, the only band that could get near them. P.S. why do people call PF psychodelic/space rock. When Syd Barret (hope i spelled his name right) left they started to change from a psychodellic band and only ever wrote three space rock songs, Astronomi Domoni, Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun and Intersteller Overdrive. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

People say that Floyd have more feeling in their music, I think that's a load of crap. Floyd's lyrics, are great. Rojer Waters really opens himself up, and his genuinely angry, but stylish lyrics are some of the best ever written. He sings with passion, and David Gilmours guitaring can make grown men cry. Everything is subtle, and it's about sounding right. Jon Anderson's lyrics, in terms of having a meaning, are awful. But Yes take took their instrumentation, songwriting, and melodies, to the edge. 1971 - 78' they were making music that they felt strongly about, surely just as much as Floyd did. They have plenty of feeling in their music. I love both bands, but Yes music is more upbeat, and has more energy. Pink Floyd is fantastic, and have released some of the best music ever recorded, but i simply find more things to enjoy in Yes music. |
