I would personally listen three times,one after another,to the Final Cut (although it is indeed my least favourite Floyd album) that having to hear again Abacab (and that dreadful "Who Dunnit" ew,ew,ew)...
 

GENESIS

none of their pop albums come close to the awfulness of The Final Cut

Not a difficult one this. Pink Floyd!!!!!!!!!

hands down: genesis. didn't even hesitate.

Hmm... Pink Floyd. Honestly, what can beat Dark side of the Moon? But I will give genesis (atleast during Gabriels/early collins era) the lyrics. They rocked. But looking at the angles you presented... The Piper at the Gates of dawn and A saucer full of secrets vs, Fom Genesis to revelation and Tresspass. Tresspass puts up a fight, but I have to give it to Pink floyd. I did like Ummagumma to Meddle, but not nearly my favorites.

Well, looking at the best selling albums by the two Artists with there "classic" lineup... Dark side of the moon, wish you were here, animals, and the wall, (would include the final cut but PF considers that a more Roger Waters album titled as pink floyd...) vs Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling england by the pund, and The Lamb lies down on Broadway. Thats what makes it really close. As albums as a whole, I preferd Genesis, But pink Floyd has some of my favorite songs, ever. (I.E. Shine on you crazy diamond, Comfortably numb, etc.) and the only genesis song to me atleast that can match up if not beat those is Supper's Ready.

 After the classic Line up, I have to give it to genisis because they atleast kept up for a while until duke. And pink floyd really lost they're sound. But as for ending, Pink Floyd, all the way, Phill collins doing Disney, Genesis going to commercial/pop entirley against they're previous sound, broken up after a horrible selling album, Pink Floyd, Back together after twenty years doing an amazing performance of they're best hit's for a Live 8 benifet. Now what can beat that, and also, Once they relized they lost the sound they stopped writing new stuff.  Smart choice, Gilmour! 

Pink Floyd, by far if you compare it with all Genesis albums. If only Gabriel albums.... why compare!?

Sure they sold out but they still produced some fine pop rock. Floyd also had a purple patch (Meddle to Wish you were here) but their first 2 albums and most of the later ones were very poor to moderate. Both great bands but Genesis edge it for me.

Floyd by far, and their first 2 albums (especially Piper at the Gates of Dawn) are by far my favourites and are well above moderate, though I do agree with the latter ones.

Two different styles- but FLoyd is my fav of the two- by far.

Genesis is of course the best, even if Pink Floyd make the right decision and disbanded in the 80s while genesis made the rong decision and made som crap instead.

I don't like either band.
