This was very close.

Rush had five "great" LP's:
2112
A Farewell To Kings
Hemispheres
Permanent Waves
Moving Pictures

Pink Floyd had five "great" records:
Meddle
Dark Side Of The Moon
Wish You Were Here
Animals
The Wall

So the question is: who had more "good" albums?
Pink Floyd!!!

You chose to revive a poll from years ago in order to express your opinion of the band that lost the poll back then, but without actually having anything to say on the matter?
If it was a close thing then certainly a case can be made for such a wordless revival.
Sorry, not wordless, my bad. A single word.

And how many other years-old polls have been similarly revived for essentially no reason?
You can vote without commenting, y'know.

I feel the exact opposite but then again I am a big Floyd fan that only rarely spin Rush albumsTongue
They do have a couple of alright records under their belt - Caress Of Steel and Signals to be more exact.

hahah...  bump the Le Orme-Rush battle poll.... LOSERS!!! LOL

Le Orme for the win.. though again... Rush fan didn't walk away the complete winner..  it did have one of the greatest posts ever seen in the history of this site. Poor Steve...  even if a Rush fan.. you still could feel the pain through his post.. almost enough to feel sorry for him (and Rush fans)

Yeah... I would like anyone to give me a reason for Thellama73's reply... 2112 is good but nothing more than Meurglys III... really.
 
Although I have to I say I'd vote Rush Wink but they have no chances... in the end I think the scheme is bad done...
Prog, after classic, is the highest form of musical expression!!! (I prefer prog, but I guess classic music has to be a bit better:D)

Poll's over!  The winner of the Semi-finals Division 2 is Pink Floyd.  They will now move onto the Finals, and Rush is out of the tournament.  See you at the next and last match of Battle of the Prog Bands!

Er, yeah, if how beautifully the part is played is absolutely irrelevant and only the physical difficulty is to be rated! Confused  The quality of the rendering is the most important parameter of rating a musician for me and just because the notes by themselves are simple does not mean playing them the way they are meant to be played is.  It is of course your choice, but you are stuck in a "citius, altius, fortius" way of looking at music.


I'm not at all actually, I appreciate tons of different music, and I really love Pink Floyd, with my favorite albums being Meddle and Animals. Just debating here that's all, and in my personal opinion Lifeson is better, and Lifeson sounds better. Gilmour has his great moments for me as well, like the last solo in comfortably numb. My favorite band is Tool, and there guitar player is mediocre at best but it fits the music perfectly. So I know what your saying, i just disagree.
