Thanks for your input.

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

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.

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

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.
