I'd have to say, as of now, they're both tied for a solid 2nd, behind Yes. Which one I like better, though, depends purely on my mood.

I only listened to Pink Floyd because I have to, and I only like them to keep up my credibility. THe 4 albums I've got, I got so bored to them immediately! So there's to you all.
Genesis however was the first band of whom I ever bought all the records, and still no matter which record, they keep visiting my cd-player. Guess which one I voted for...

Pink Floyd is a better band, but Genesis is proggier.

Floyd, without any possible doubt. I've never been a big Genesis fan in the first place, and anything they did after Wind and Wuthering is not to my taste at all. On the other hand, I like most of Floyd's production, even if I think they were at their best with Waters.

listing all of what pink floyd made from its compostitional sphere for progressive rock,it ought to be some gods,to "embrace them in gratitude"for the novelty of their world-outlook...they still remain the unchalenged masters of the quadrofonic records,the only band that lingered in the prog-memories:1975-"New Musical Express"-100 weeks consecutively #1.that's how we used to be inspired by their meaningful inspiration...
as for genesis...they have some glittering,as skillful as their musical-nowheres.I can dance,invisible touch,sledgehammer,barely prog...

I think you'll find that Sledgehammer is a Peter Gabriel song!
Genesis at their best are miles better than the soporific Floyd. Admittedly they went downhill after Hackett left, but Trespass - Wind And Wuthering are all fantastic.

I dont understand what so many people have against the "final cut" I have not heard the whol album yust some songs but thos songs sounded very good and im planing to buy the album very soon.
Genesis never makes me even half as exited as PF does, many of PF songs gives me the shiver no genesis song have ever made me feel that, theyr 2 completly diffrent band Genesis goes for a pop sound and tryes to sound funny, while PF have more serius and dramatic and atmosphric sound, Genesis most of the times i lisen to them doesnt make me feel anything i cant even desied if its good or bad realy and i hope that it will grow on me but it never does, most of it yust sounds dull and boring, sorry...

Pink Floyd are just too self-conscious to be convincing in the long
run. Genesis has the benefit of having contributed more original music
together and in separate entities than PF. Even Steve Hackett alone, I
believe, has a better discography (more originality and wider spectrum)
than PF, now add to that Ant Phillips, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins,
Banks, Rutherford and you have a discography that easily eats up
whatever PF and their solo records ever created. The world was affected
more by the presence of Genesis and its members than PF and its
members. Of course I am also a Gen-head so who cares what I think :-)

Floyd reached something (and done it in a masterliness way) that Genesis never reached:psychedelism...

Of course, I dislike Genesis after 1981. I'm all for the Peter Gabriel-era stuff. I'm not saying that Floyd isn't progressive I'm just saying I never thought they were. I just don't get it. I guess if you consider space rock progressive as the style than it is, but when you consider a lot of Floyds' stuff and than compare it to Yes or Genesis, it doesn't seem progressive at all to me. It seems like those bands were miles ahead. Keep in mind it's only my opinion. I would love to listen to Floyd thinking that their music is progressive and that some of their albums are masterpieces but nothing yet has convinced me.

Oh,Floyd is definately prog...Maybe much more than Genesis,especially after 1981 Genesis's prog rating is discusable...
