My brother (not a prog fan) laughed when I told him Supertramp are on PA.
Pink Floyd win by a mile.

two of my faves, but Floyd has to get the nod because of the influence, popularity and longevity. They also had more albums, more classics and their whole body of work is proggier.

I love to death my copy of Crime of the Century. It is an amazing record. I also like some of Breakfast in America.
Unfortunately, while those two are the only worthwhile albums for me in Supertramp's catalogue, I've loved Pink Floyd in it's entirety with the exception of two albums (Lapse of Reason and Division Bell; both are absolutely terrible except the instrumental tracks). For me, Pink Floyd wins clearly, because to compare them is to compare the amazing Saucerful of Secrets, Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, and Final Cut to Crime of the Century. And Crime is blown away.
Sorry, Supertramp.

This was a very one-sided poll...
I'd probably vote Pfloyd, too, but I don't think they're at all close enough to compare generally.

Both bands I used to love about a year ago, now I doubt I've pumped either of them in six months.
I chose Supertramp.

Pink Floyd, this bands cant simply be compared, they are veru different, and pink floyd is much better, I respect supertramp, and I considered it a very good band, but I think is completely absurd to compare them with Pink Floyd, just that |
I agree, these two bands shouldn't be in a poll anyway, they're too different. What idea for polls will be next, Rush vs Van Der graaf Generator?

I do love the tramp but I have to go with the Floyd. Crime is an Epic album it nowhere reaches what Dark side has.

I like Supertramp. But for me it's impossible not to answer Pink Floyd. Their music comes from another place.

not a big fan of floyd but I voted for them because they influenced many groups that are among my favourites. I never thought much of Supertramp and they don't appear to have inflenced many groups either.

People, people, stop ending your sentences with "no contest", it looks pretty stupid.

Pink Floyd No Competition. Pink Floyd is much more progressive and innovating than supertramp. Supertramp is my new favourite band so don't you think i don't like supertramp or don't know anything of them.
Supertramp is a good band, they're prog but just that.
Floyd is prog and inovating.
Supertramp has 1 masterpiece and 3 prog albums.
Pink Floyd has 3 masterpieces and 5 or 6 very prog albums.
