FINAL SCORE (1) Pink Floyd-46 (4) Guns N' Roses-34

[treebird]

boooooo how can you not vote floyd

[NewUserName]

I like many here have never really enjoyed Pink Floyd. I also think that Appetite for Destruction is one of the greatest albums ever. However the rest of GnRs collections isnt very good and not as good as almost anything Pink Floyd has done. Should I vote for a Band who has one Album that I truly love but the rest of their stuff I dont like or a Band that I like some but dont own any of their Albums but have put together a lot larger of a collection of solid music? I will probably come back to this later

i really really don't "get" pink floyd's appeal.

 

but i don't get gnr's appeal either. oh well. can't wait to vote against either of these bands next round.

When I ask myself, if I could only listen to one or the other for the rest of my life, the choice becomes easy.

 

GNR baby!

[texascub]

Very close for me but my vote goes to Pink Floyd.

[MPrior]

I like GNR, but I LOVE Pink Floyd. I also am not huge on everyone using Dark Side of the Moon as the only measurement of Pink Floyd. Dark Side of the Moon as an album is great, but most of their best songs show up elsewhere. And while Pink Floyd certainly wasn't the first band to make a "concept album," they sure did bring the concept album to a whole new level.

 

Secondly, as much as I REALLY love "Sweet Child Of Mine" and "November Rain" (among others), I firmly believe that "Comfortably Numb" (my favorite Floyd song) far surpasses anything GNR ever did.

 

Secondly, everyone should listen to "On the Turning Away." It's not exactly a "lesser known" Floyd song, but I don't think it gets the attention it deserves - it's incredible.

 

Lastly, David Gilmour is a hugely underestimated guitarist. His guitar solos are as soaring and emotionally evocative as any I can think of.

 

As a side note, Roger Waters is an arrogant, self-indulgent prick. But that doesn't change the fact that Pink Floyd is among the best bands out there.

How on earth did that happen? Motley Crue? That's embarrassing.

For a lot of people (me included) that wasn't so much a vote for the Crue as it was a vote against Floyd. A little John Kerry syndrome.

We are Motley Crue and we approved this message

[Derwood]

You are all a bunch of rubes.

 

ps Floyd up 10. Can they hold onto the lead for another day?

I love GnR. But when comparing bodies of work, there is simply no way GNR wins

I figured that had to be the case. Cause, I mean, it's Motley Crue.

[ResidentRoyalsFan]

Wow, talk about the matchup of the century. With the RHCP out, I want one of these to win it all. Personally I think GNR has a better chance, so they get my vote. Nothing against Pink Floyd. They are one of the greatest of all time. So is GNR.

Not only can I not believe that GNR has the best chance to win, but only 1 of your last 2 sentences is true. And it's not the latter.

Agreed. GNR is a nice little band and Appetite For Destruction is quite good, but in no way are they one of the greatest of all-time. Pink Floyd, on the other hand, definitely is.

[Soul]

I loved GNR, but come lets face it they had one really incredible album, and the rest was a slow burn into the abyss....

 

 

Pink Floyd did it for too long to be overcome by a short-lived group.
