You took the words out of my mouth, or my fingers in this case. 

Both have different moods, and were quite important in the development of rock music, maybe the Beatles having an edge on this department, but Pink Floyd meant more for progressive music in general, and rock in particular.

I indeed listen to Floyd more than the Beatles, but really enjoy both bands, depending on the mood I'm into.

I voted Floyd because their music speaks to me emotionally... but I respect the Beatles and what they accomplished enormously. Likely have been no Floyd had there been no Beatles.

Beatles - love them both, but no choice to be made here.
Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.

I like both, but not equally. My vote goes to Pink Floyd.

This one is pretty difficult for me. I'm going with Beatles by a hair.
