It depends how you define greatness and achievement - in terms of sales or something else?

Both have sold albums by the lorry load, but to be frank I never liked the Stones at all. There's are probably about four stones tunes that I can tolerate, and even they get annoying due to crap vocals.

Floyd for me all the way..
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I have been a PF fan since I was 12 or 13, but I never had had much liking for the Stones.

Let's put it this way: Pink Floyd rocks, the Stones just roll.

Pink Floyd were the best albums band in the 60s & 70s.
Rolling Stones were the best singles band in the 60s & 70s.
Pink Floyd had the best live shows.

Still haven't bought my first Rolling Stones record.
Still haven't heard a full Rolling Stones records.

Pink Floyd is the greatest rock band i've heard and i doubt the Stones can beat that sound (even the Mighty Zeppelin can't).

But again, it's all a matter of taste.

As far as the influence of either goes, I'd say Pink Floyd. I flat out don't like Rolling Stones, and I like Pink Floyd moderately.

I like 'em both but I've listened to Floyd more. Although I listen to the Stones more nowadays. Also I wouldn't call either the greatest. I wouldn't really call any band the greatest but if I was forced to I would say "The Beatles", just because there are enough people who really believe that to do the arguing for me so it saves me the effort of arguing the point one way or the other.

One of the most annoying rock bands versus the "atmosphere" masters.

Interesting question since I don;t consider Floyd a 'rock band' ......while the Rolling Stones certainly are.
But for me that would prolly be Led Zep.

I'm hesitant to use the label "greatest" for anything.

I'm not really familiar with the Rollers except for some of their hits, but I'm very familiar with Pink Floyd. And I think Floyd's music has more depth to it. However I wouldn't play any of their songs at a party, but the Rolling Stones can often fit in those situations.

I'm a Floyd guy for sure. No question. Also, it's hard to measure or compare the success of these 2 bands because both have done so well on so many levels, especially financially.

Stones v Beatles
Queen v Pink Floyd
Genesis v Yes
Led Zep v Black Sabbath

those match ups make more sense to me

There are Stones tracks I really like. Ruby Tuesday tends to be overlooked but that is as good as any Beatles songs. Paint It Black is another I like.
Jagger/ Richards wrote The First Cut Is The Deepest which was the first solo hit for PP Arnold who of course had the prog connection with The Nice who started as her backing band.

Pink Floyd. No need to discuss that Stern Smile

Stones = mainstream rock garbage
Floyd = beautiful, authentic, innovative, mind-blowing MUSIC
