Pink Floyd, mainly because the decline of Genesis since the "good old days" has been worse, IMO. ------------- [IMG]http://www.belderrain.es/GIFs/tora.gif"> |

Not easy to pick because I like both, but I plump for Pink Floyd, as if
I rated a top 5 of both groups albums in order of preference I think it
would be: Animals; Wish You Were Here; Selling England by The Pound; Trick of the Tail; Dark Side of the Moon ...which on any points basis puts Floyd higher. |

Wait I just have to say something to this... 
I'm gonna chose GENESIS because no one can display the emotions that Gabriel and the band did IMO. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

Seems to me like bands in different genres probably should not be compared, but I like listening to Genesis more so my vote goes to Genesis. ------------- If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks! |

I would say, I prefer Genesis (and I could easily add: anytime). For me
Pink Floyd were always a little bit 'cold' or so (it's exactly the
opposite meaning to some of you, but people are different, aren't
they?). Not that I have anything against Floyds (Wish You Were Here is great), but as I said above: give me Selling England By The Pound or Foxtrot and I'll be happy :-) |

My thoughts exactly. As sure as eggs is eggs (@ the end of Supper's Ready). No emotion? Anyway, my vote goes to Genesis. ------------- "Can't you feel our souls ignite? Shedding ever-changing colors,in the darkness of the fading night..." -Genesis |

That's hard to say, I mean, if it wasn't for Pink Floyd, I probably
wouldn't have even gotten into Genesis. However, I must say Pink
Floyd.

The style of Pink Floyd is more to my liking, mostly for the emotions and lyrics - concept albums set a real task for the lyricist. In my personal ratings Pink Floyd has done more album masterpieces than Genesis. Both have done some crappy stuff too, I have to admit, but since Atom Heart Heart Floyd has done only good or excellent albums, in my opinion. I can't say the same about Genesis during the same lengthy span. ------------- "Make tea, not love" |
