    I like the Who but Floyd are my fav band in the world, many can complain about Gilmour taking over Floyd with out Rog but The Who with just Townsend & Daltrey is a joke and Endless Wire was dire, even Momentary Lapse sounds great compared to that.

    I think the way they never flogged to death the touring like The Stones makes Floyd's legacy somewhat less tarnished then the Who, don't get me wrong the Who made some amazing music but I feel they get more praise from critics than PF and for me at times they are the most under appreciated band of their time.

    This is from a critics point of view, I know Floyd have a rabid fan base but critics have always been looking down the nose at the them and although Townsend is probably more talented than any member of Floyd as a whole the band eclipse (scuse the pun) for me anyway anything the Who as a collective have done.

    Definetely The Who. I'm sorry but I don't really like Pink Floyd.

    I'm only 27, these bands are too old for me to remember but I can hear a lot of PJ in The Who but not so much Pink Floyd. So I find it easier to listen to The Who.

    hahaha, WHAT? Pete Townshend is great but Gilmour is a better guitarist than him, Waters is a better lyricist than him, and they're both better singers than him.

    I said probably, i prefer Gilmour and Waters as a guitarist and lyricist personally i was just trying to be subjective, Townsend does write good lyrics & music and is a pretty mean guitar player.

    Gilmour is most noted for his Guitar work and until RW left his music writing wasn't that prolific, yes he's also a better singer, Rog is a superb lyricist and has a unique voice but his talent for writing music isn't has significant as PT.

    What I'm saying is Floyd as a whole a more effective but PT is the more multi talented, whereas Rog worked at his best in Floyd with DG, PT pretty much wrote everything with some exceptions.

    I don't think DG or RW could claim to be as multi talented, yes I personally think they are better but I must give PT is credit as an all rounder.

    Neither.
    They both kick major butt.
    For different reasons.
    One is to smoke to, one is to drink to .
    One is for love, one is for lust.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    For me The Who, but Pink Floyd not far behind...



    All in all.....I choose Floyd.

    but

    If I felt like rocking out a little harder, it's The Who.
