O.o
I was just talking this week how it’s odd that I can’t really stand Led Zeppelin. Or AC/DC. Or Lynyrd Skynyrd. My fellow employees have begun calling me un-American as a result lol =)
But Pink Floyd will always hold a place in my heart. Sure, some of it I played out to much, and some of it makes me feel weird as I fall into a semi-flashback, but theirs is a sound that is so distinct and unique that they should be their own genre.
I think our kid’s kids will still be having moments when they “discover” The Dark Side of the Moon and will be just as blown away as we were and, in my case, as my parents were.

Did Zeppelin record anything other than "Stairway to Heaven"? Which, BTW, isn't particularly good lyrically. I think the first phrase does kind of capture the imagination, though "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold, and she's buying a stairway to heaven."
On the same token, did Pink Floyd record any album other than "The Wall"? And did the movie come before or after the record?
Besides, Rush rules (until Exit Stage Left or Moving Pictures, I forget).

1. - The only good Beatles were the trippy Beatles. Stones are just bleh. Winner - Beatles.

Quote: Sabretom2Nareed- perhaps you've heard of "dark side of the moon",
Yes, of course. that's the area of the Moon, somewhat smaller than half, that is never visible from the surface of the Earth, due to Earth's tidal lock on the Moon at the moment (it will change in a few billion years or so as Earth slows down rotationally due ot the Moon's influence). The name, though, is a misnomer, as that side of the Moon gets as much sunlight as the rest. it doesn't get any Earthlight, though.
what has that got to do with the subject under discussion?

What, is this a trick question?

Neither.
Duh oh.
Both are defunct and not playing / touring, so the question SHOULD have been "Which was the better band."
But the BEST band out there currently isn't a band at all, it's a DJ ... Gareth Emery .

Hard to compare, they are for different moods. Zep is a for when you are in an "up" mood while Floyd is for more somber times.
Although if it were for cruising in a convertible with the top down at night in the warm summer in LV or PHX then easily Pink Floyd.

Zep is the greatest rock n roll band ever. A lot of great albums.
I give the nod to Pink Floyd, A Great rock band with a lot of great albums but created the masterpiece album Dark Side of the Moon. DSOTM is not a rock album, its a fantastic musical journey that delves into many genres.
Its really apples and oranges. Who's to say who is better, musical beauty is in the ear of the beholder. I love both bands, I also love the Monkees.

Bieber is sugar cane candy. Gaga isn't so bad, if you consider the background of the music and times she lives in. Katy Perry would be a far better example of a sugar pop band that surely will be gone tomorrow.

Fun thread. Back to the original question. Both great bands obviously. But Zep gets my vote by a nose, for their long lasting musical influences. A whole generation of musicians has tried to sound like Page and Plant. Sometimes without knowing it. I don't think anyone has ever tried to sound like Pink Floyd. Not that they could. Also someone asked about country....no one likes country. Or let me rephrase...no one should like country.

Interesting comment about music - that some can become burnt out - implying that some cannot become burnt out.
Some music, like art, I guess is a fad for it time period only. Who nowadays would order Seal's Kissed by a Rose, or Coldplay's Clocks, versus the Beatles, but when that came out it was played non-stop for 6 months, then buried. [gag!..]
The difference between a fad and a classic. In games, it's the difference between Deuces Wild versus Craps or Roulette.
