floyd hands down.
Listened to Zeppelin IV earlier while I was working out trying to keep my starting spot over Tebow. It's obviously the best album from either band.
floyd hands down.
Floyd comes second only to "The Beatles".
I will take that as a compliment.

Posting that for funsies
Should have been a poll.
I've found not posting a poll gets more debate, in my personal experience.
^ no poll means only one way to make your voice heard.
Yeah, but we can't laugh at the people who picked the opposite of what we voted.
Pink Floyd by far for me. I prefer the mystical sounds they come with. Especially in their late 60's early 70's phase.
Pink Floyd is commonly misunderstood for some of the reasons posted in this thread.
1) Floyd pioneered/expanded upon a lot of studio techniques. There's a lot of examples of this, even though it's stuff we generally take for granted now.
2) Most of Pink Floyd's songs are meant to be heard with other songs on its album. One might call that lame, but the majority of their work was written within the layers of a larger piece and theme.
3) Floyd gets called out for having filler but again, some don't realize the concept of an album, and oftentimes the songs had cool, original effects for the time. Example: On The Run/Any Color You Like. These were original tunes for their time, for a mul ude of reasons, but nowadays they come across as unspectacular mainly because most people don't have a feel for the period of time this music was recorded. Who cares about an overdriven synth, or barely audible footsteps running from speaker to speaker nowadays.. or routing a guitar through a Leslie speaker. These are ancient effects now that come standard with most multieffects boxes.
4) Pink Floyd was always considered a better live band, whith their effects shows/extended jams. While I'll never see em live myself, I've seen and heard more than enough to affirm that notion,
BTW, Amimals > Wish you were here
Animals >< The Wall
I'm sorry, but this post is wrong because Floyd is only for immature 15 year olds

I like Animals, but IMO nothing Floyd has created can rival the sheer perfection of Wish You Were Here, not even Dark Side.
All great. Just like Animals more at the moment.

Animals is the .
Dogs is the best song on that album
Animals is just a rip off of pet sounds
That's the main reason I like Animals. The guitar work on that song was my favorite of any Floyd song.
They sound nothing alike. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is my favorite though. Syd Barrett as his most creative period before he went crazy.
Here's how it would have gone in my car with my kids (if I had kids)....
KIDS - "Dad, can you turn on the radio instead?"
ME - "No."
A couple of my favorite moments from these two Giants:
Floyd>Animals>Sheep>guitar outro
Led Zep>Zeppelin I>How Many More Times>when the drums break in after the intro
I think my favorite song by Pink Floyd is a tossup between Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Echoes...I'll give the slight edge to Shine On because Wish You Were Here was the first album I ever listened to on shrooms and damn it was awesome.
Like I said somewhere a few pages back- Floyd worked really, really hard to come up with some cool sounds. You sure can tell how hard they tried.
Look, Floyd 'isn't only' for fifteen year olds. I never said it was. I'll throw on Floyd from time to time myself, but c'mon, it's hardly as good as it gets. Far from it. Most people I know who used to listen to Floyd a lot moved on some time ago. And I don't think it's all that uncommon [for that to happen] or unfair to point that out.
Call me arrogant or pretentious or whatever, but I'm 100% fine looking down my nose and history at Pink Floyd, that is immature, prototypical, albeit original at the time, standard, cheezy progressive rock. Nothing more. And anybody who's listening to Pink Floyd for all the quote-unquote introspection and thinks they're going to find some deep truth at the summit of that mountain, well, those people are likely in for a world of disappointment. They should learn to separate themselves from the Stockholm Syndrome which is clearly compromising their musical tastes and go buy some Frank Zappa albums instead.

I must agree, like dejuan blair is limited by his size and those old people on hover scooters are limited by their mobility, pink floyd was limited by their musical ability
call lt concept or whatever but they had a very specific sound and were not versatile as a group
