I just find Pink Floyd's music depressing. I barely listened to (more than some of) their songs multiple times and never internalized their spirit. Thus, I never got depressed under their weight. I like some "lighter" bands that make music in the vein of Pink Floyd though; such as the Polish band Collage.

While,

Gryphon does/did one of the most uplifting musics for me. 

Please do understand that this is meant to be a light-hearted poll. My intention is nothing other than this.

Most likely Pink Floyd is going to win this one. I'm voting for Gryphon though, a superb, under appreciated band.

They are not in the same universe. Musically, they're not even compatible for comparison. Looking for some sort of "positivity" in their message compared to Floyd, you might as well use Huey Lewis & the News from a comparative standpoint, and listen to "Power of Love" on an endless loop. One band, Floyd, is great, the other had a couple decent albums, then dropped off the face of the planet for several decades.

^ Greg, I wasn't offended by your comment, first of all. I actually wasn't going to give a reply, too. But you said "you", so I decided to do so.

Though, I can give perhaps 15 "types" of replies, but not in the mood for discussion now. Mind you, my replies wouldn't be of sorts to prove that you're wrong. And, you aren't actually; quintessentially...

Thanks for your input.

I really like Floyd from AHM to Animals, but I love Gryphon.

I was gonna vote for "Cristi's cat" in a poll somewhere here. But I was checking the forum from my mobile then, and forgot thereafter.

So, it this what they say karma? Tongue

Wasn't necessarily trying to be offensive, although I suppose my reply was a bit caustic. Just a weird comparison between 2 bands that have really no common ground. Other than they spoke the same language and released albums in the same general time frame. Wink

I actually prefer Gryphon's music to Floyd's. But that doesn't mean I think they are a 'better band' or such. As stated above, two completely different  bands and styles of music. May as well compare the TV shows Jessica Jones and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. Both on TV, both have female leads...absolutely nothing in common.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

I have been very into both since I was young, and both have been two of my very favourite bands. While Pink Floyd is and has been more important to me, I’m still voting for both. I wouldn’t have wanted to be without either of them. By the way, I haven’t heard the latest Gryphon album, ReInvention, but I really liked the first five albums.

It may be apples and oranges, but for me the Atom Heart Mother suite and (Ein Klein) Heldenleben work well together when played sequentially.





Edit: Forgot there was a more recent Gryphon album called "Dude, that's my father's car, get out of it", or something like that. Haven't heard it

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

I find nothing depressing in the pre-Dark Side albums (which I like a lot).

I really like Gryphon, but we're comparing Gryphon to Pink Floyd are we?

Hang on, so it's not the Punk Floyd that we are talking about that released that seminal album "Never Mind the Bulls, Sheep, Dogs, Flying Pigs, Several Species of Small Furry Animals et cetera, Here's the Punk Floyd"? Well then, Gryphon it is.

For your attention,

Everyone is free to see anything however they like.

In the arcade game Street Fighter, Ken can fight Zangief. It is written as Ken vs. Zangief on the screen. What do they have that much things in common?

If a poll asks "your favourite", you are not bound to compare or contrast anything. The fact that I did so in my original post, doesn't necessarily mean that you should do likewisely. Bubblegum vs. Turkish Delight... You just can pick your "favourite"...

The "vs." thing ONLY means that, it is to ascertain which band will be victorious precisely by getting the most votes here. I can already congragulate Pink Floyd here. For their "healthy" (?) impact in the world.

There's even a "Mozart or Shakespear" poll here in this forum. It is amazing that, some people who "should" know this are critical on me.

Anyway, sorry for suspending my light-heartedness for a short time. We all can sin. EmbarrassedHug
