Different strokes.

JoeTyler said:

Really?? Surely you can do better than that?!

...Quite disappointing actually.

Moonbeam said:

Indeed.

Even though I made my choice, it's easy to step aside and have a somewhat more detached look upon the matter. Even though Pink Floyd had some more decades to work their magic, this question can only be settled a few more decades in, when Radiohead became the same kind of disgruntled old men as Pink Floyd are now and THEN see how many albums they have in lots of people's list of 'best album'.

The current lists are dominated by people who grew up with Radiohead, so logically they have a headstart when it comes to lists. In the NME list of best albums of all time they both have three albums, but Radiohead comes out on top. But they have Oasis on the first position, so I am not really impressed with that list. UK lists tend to over-exaggerate teh influence of British albums, so I like Acclaimed Music's album top 3000 of all time waaaay better, as a global grade tool of opinions.

Again, Radiohead comes out on top. So, there is no accounting for taste, it seems. I say, hurray for Pink Floyd and Radiohead BOTH.

Only ever Pink Floyd. Who can take their place when they're so unique?

Dark Side of the Moon and cannabis. My. Fucking. God.

What kinda cigar? I like Cubans.

I like Pink Floyd, but I love Radiohead.

Pink Floyd is forever in my top 10 acts of all time. Dark Side to the Wall...they are flawless.

I am a fan of Radiohead...but someone here said something about melody, that RH is seriously lacking. However, they are great live. But no way do they touch Floyd imo.

Pink Floyd without question.

They are a sophisticated band where all members contribute and are polished musicians and songwriters.

Absolutely amazing band.

Corporal Clegg 'you can choose any colour you like' . i like radiohead but 'which one's pink?'

Awww, I just love that Orgers are still mainly deluded.

Pink Floyd for the win....if only for Shine on you crazy Diamond and the rest of Wish you were here and especially Dark Side of the moon...i wore those two records out!

Floyd. If I bothered to, I could get into some of their stuff properly I feel. I also dig "see Emily play", even if it is very different to their more famous stuff later on.

Radiohead on the other hand sounds like music to slit your wrists to. Their music is often very pretty from the bits I hear, but very depressing aswell. An odd combination for sure, but one Iam not interested in at the moment.

Who ARE all these people? Is this a computer virus that just keeps creating profiles with a weird, unbelievable love for bad music? Whaaaat?

please tell me why radiohead is better.....im waiting....oh and when i listened to paranoid android i felt like my head was about to burst

I am teasing, of course. There is no bad choice here, whatever floats your boat.

I saw an interesting BBC doc about Pink Floyd. Forgot it's name, but it could have easily be called "Grumpy Old Men",
Real interesting to see how they came together and then changed, clashed and broke up and they are still bickering. If I remember, it was filmed just before or just after that Live 8 thingie.

Ok, unowhat..I've only heard a little bit of Radiohead. I adore the Floyd. That group is what rock is all about. No one can touch there emotion delivered in everything they did. This is my first post since 2008 and probably only my second post. I'm off to hear more Radiohead to see just how any group can compare with the Floyd, knowing no group could possibly.

Everybody is allowed to have a different opinion. Thank God we have so many different artists out there to capture our imagination and hearts! For me, The Cure is what rock is all about.

CloverThePoet said:

Well as long as you're doing it with an open mind, that's fine.

Moonbeam said:

Same.

The stones are boring and overtime have become more stereotype rock than the archetype rock they think they are.

Radiohead and Strokes anyday.

TyphoonTip said:

agreed. classic rock was innovative in its time, but better stuff has followed.

RKJCNE said:

Like what?

Moonbeam said:

That I do not understand.

JoeTyler said:

Just about everything.

I must confess, i dont even know one single song of Pink Floyd

Cotontige said:

You've never heard the songs Money or Another Brick in The Wall...SOMEwhere? "We don't need no education..."

That is just nutty talk. You need to crawl out of that well.

Cotontige said:

Man, I'm sure you have heard Another brick in the wall like 1000 times, even if you don't know it...
