Floyd is my favorite band overall but these are all top tie. If you had included Grateful Dead or The Doors it might have been a bit harder for me to pick one haha

| Generally I'd have to hand it to the Beatles, but lately I've really been into Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme, so I'm gonna go with S&G for this one. |

Beatles first, Floyd close behind. Probably then Cream, Dylan, and Procol Harum, in that order. With Hendrix and Mrs Robinson at the bottom of a very elite group of bands. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

As Snow Dog said: Floyd's best material comes later. As for Simon & Garfunkel: Bridge Over Troubled Water is from 1970 and for me it would only be Bookends that stands out in the 1960s. For me it would be a choice between the Beatles and Procol Harum. That's not an easy choice. Oh well, Procol Harum, but only by a slight margin. The first three albums are brilliant for the biggest part.

The Beatles beats out the Floyd for me. My three favorite albums of theirs Meddle, WYWH and Animals all come from the 70's, as well as AHM and OBC, my other two favs. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Is this based purely on their material from that decade or the bands in general?
Oh well, gotta go with The Beatles. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

and I am left completely cold by Bob Dylan, whose lyrics are good but whose music is totally uninteresting and whose voice I can't stand. he should have stuck to writing poems. the only Bob Dylan song I like is "Hurricane". I would have given him the advice Judas gives to Jesus in the opening song of "Jesus Christ Superstar": he should have stayed a carpenter, if that little bit of wordplay which perhaps not everyone will get is allowed ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Usually I would have voted for Pink Floyd, as I'm a big fan of their earlier years. But the chance to see Bob Dylan coming last in a poll of 60s music prompted me to give Cream a much-deserved vote. ------------- rotten hound of the burnie crew |

Paul Simon is one of my favorite lyricists—far superior, in my opinion, to Lennon or McCartney. Simon and Garfunkle's music is very competent and the vocal harmonies are refreshing. They also play with form in some very interesting ways. The Beatles had a knack for experimentation, which is their main asset. Unfortunately, with Lennon's chrome-wounds on his guitar as well as some other factors, they often sound stagnant. Their songwriting is decent but not amazing, to my aesthetic, and they are often overplayed and overrated. That's not to say they aren't a great group, but forced with the decision to choose between them and Simon and Garfunkle, I choose the latter. |

You don't just not like The Doors. I argue that anyone who says they don't really like The Doors that much simply needs to listen to more Doors. ------------- http://sumdeus.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - Sumdeus - surreal space/psych/prog journeys |

Amazing with words, amazing with ideas. Tasteful with music. He embodies the whole spirit and life of the 60's counterculture. I don't really know how else to explain, all you have to do is put on any classic record of his and it's all there in the words and music. But it's the kinda stuff you gotta reaaally get into. Maybe that's why people don't dig it? I can certainly see how if someone puts on a Dylan record and expects to get instantly wow'd they'd walk away thinking "he's not that good at singing OR guitar..." but if you really pay attention, the genius is all there. ------------- http://sumdeus.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - Sumdeus - surreal space/psych/prog journeys |

Definitely agree here. Andrey if you are interested a little bit in Dylan try Desire. The music is superb and it's one of those special sounding albums too, of course the main attraction is the singing. |
