Floyd.

The Verve had one good album, while 70's Floyd was truly outstanding.

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Pink Floyd = Legends.

Enough said on that one for me.

 

[Pubey]

big fan of both bands but floyd all the way. and for the record (the) verve had 2 great records

 

[SUFC_Al]

erm.........Floyd all day long!

I'll never forget the old man playing 'Money' to me through headphones really loud when i was about 7/8. That's what I call parenting. :)

Did they? A Northern Soul is patchy with some great tracks (History), while the 1st one is toilet.

 

[osymandus]

Im going for the Verve on the grounds that Floyd are up your bottom over blown pomp . They made Yes look normal :D

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

I'm voting for Floyd on the basis that I might be doing a recording with them next year...!

:D

a northern soul is class, IMO

 

[Cricko]

Floyd all the way ..so many great albums and choons.

 

[canveyshrimper]

Floyd - no contest.

 

[DTS]

Ben has had my vote as I dont know anything about either...We have gone Pink Flloyd....

 

[General Easterly]

Pink Floyd all the way. Who else would have the temerity to write a song which starts in 7/8 time, modulates to 4/4 and then ends back at 4/4.

Sheer genius.

(The song in question is Money by the way)

 

[C C Csiders]

What the Welsh tribute act? Famed for their version (from the Floyd album Meddle) of One of these Dai's?

 

[SUFCEssex]

had to go The Verve as i nominated them but PF are a top act.

 

[Alexis_SUFC]

Floyd with Barrett would win for me, Floyd without him are just boring IMO so have gone for The Verve.

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

Has to be floyd for me. Whilst the verve were good, will we remember them in a couple of decades?
Floyd are probably best known for "another brick in the wall pt ii" but to be fair that's just a Small part of what they're about. From the original psychadelic blues inspired days of Barret, through the total immersion album "dark side of the moon" rock opera "the wall" to the lower key latter years of "final cut" and "division bell" (featuring guest vocalist professor stephen hawkinge" pink floyd have continued to adapt and to influence.
My personal favourite single track is wish you were here, however pink floyd aren't about singles, but albums. Take a look at how long dark side of the moon was in the billboard top 200 for, then please cast you vote.

I've got a mouse,
And he hasn't got a house,
I don't know why I call him Harrold.


Worthy of your vote shurley :D
