I honestly dont know how you can compare them besides the fact that their British. Completely different bands and I hold them equally for completely separate reasons. If they actually got into a fight though I would have to agree, Bonzo is a fucking tank.

pink floyd was the most progressive, beautiful band, until the wall. their earlier albums when syd was still in the band are amazing. Animal collective 40 years prior to animal collective.

Pink floyd is not the greatest band of all time. In fact, they have very few A-tier albums when compared to their whole discography - Saucerful, Atom heart, Relics, Echoes (aside from the song), everything post-Final Cut up to Division Bell were terrible and almost wholly unlistenable (the jury is still out on Obscured. I think it's a fine album, but not amazing). The same goes for Bob Dylan, who hasn't made a decent album since Desire. Just chill out and recognize they are a very good band, but by no means the best.

Derp.


Especially today when everyone listens to algorithm rock. Bands that did groundbreaking things > bands that have songs, and lyrics written for them by record companies to get that number 1 hit for the week.


Even if you dislike it, you can still see talent if you actually dig music.


Nothing can be better than anything because everything is subjective. You can no longer hold contests for best beer because the shittiest beer might be somebodies favorite.


Idk I just felt like arguing for no reason. But seriously there is some shit music out there.

^ interesting. also floyd had MANY a tier albums, the division bell + post that is BS cause theres no roger waters in the mix....but meddle, dark sde of the moon, piper at the gates fo dawn, wish you were here, the wall, the final cut, ANIMALS aealerect i my mind...7 masterpieces is impressive

completely agree with you, although the first albums you mentioned are mostly the best in my opinion, but all bands went to shit in the mid 80's, zeppelin just wasn't making music then or else they would have hit it too.

zeppelin and pink floyd get a lot of recognition for their popularity, and that drives some people away, but they both are some of the most talented, creative and influential of all time.

Shine on you Crazy Diamond is my goddamn hype song. Love that shit. Pink Floyd is definitely one of my favorite groups, mostly because they're phenomenal storytellers.

I consider Led Zeppelin background rock. Like The Black Keys, it's a highly enjoyable background listen - a soundtrack if you will. But as soon you drop all the distractions and start actively listening to the music, it becomes dull as hell. And good lord Jimmy Page is so sloppy I can't possibly enjoy it at that point.

Though I think "greatest band" arguments are hopeless, I do firmly consider David Gilmour to be the greatest guitarist of all time, seconded only by Eddie Hazel.

I won't put them ahead of The Beatles but I'll let you make the case for #2.

Smoke a blunt and listen to Animals in its entirety. Pure bliss.

In my honest opinion? Taking into account the entire breadth of their career, it would be The Beatles (whose low point was Beatles for Sale, which is not much of a low point, but had a concise, consistent discography of 4-5 star albums over the course of 9 years), or, believe it or not, Patti Smith, who holds her own in terms of influence but has never made a single terrible album - that is, one that is unlistenable. Now, this is, of course, considering only career-oriented artists, not the myriad brilliant one-offs and genius meisterworks that speckle the community, such as Nick Drake's albums, Television, Velvet Underground, etc.

Music is definitely subjective but I really do think there is good and bad. There's a difference between "good" music and "fun" music if you know what I'm saying.

Time is one of the greatest songs ever written imo.

Pink Floyd is unbelievable dont get me wrong, but they fall short to Led Zeppelin and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
