This is a pearl jam board, I would expect them to win. But they really have nothing to do with one another. Different eras, different impact and influence, different music, different musicianship. If I had to pick I'd go with the Floyd, but why would I want to have to pick? I probably listen to more PJ than Floyd right now, but if I could only take one band's music with me to a desert island, I'd take Pink Floyd.
I've seen both bands live, Floyd in '92 and PJ in '03 and '06. Floyd were the most incredible band both on their albums and to see live and I still love their music today. They are one of my all time most favourite bands. However if I had the choice of seeing Pink Floyd live again, or Pearl Jam, I'd pick Pearl Jam every time.

Yes...I saw Floyd (sans Waters) twice in the '80s...they were great...and both bands are hugely important to me personally, but that's the way I'd put it too.
Of course, it doesn't seem like we'll be getting the choice to see Floyd ever again.
However, I saw the Australian Pink Floyd Experience once, and they were quite good.
