It's a close call.

But I think the 4 big albums rundown of the 70s of PF end up winning.

I've rated 90+ 4 PF albums and 3 from Radiohead.
80+ 6PF vs 6 Radiohead.

So yes, pretty close call.

But I think PF has a couple of albums that are significant for the whole culture. I mean you don't have to be into rock or music to know and understand The Wall concept, or the pigs flying over factory smokestacks, or masked kids in school. Radiohead doesn't come close to that on that level IMO, it's just another rock band for people that are not deep into their music.

It's pretty difficult to say with full confidence which band is better, anything better about one band, the other has another thing they do better then them.

-Radiohead has a much more consistent discography from the beginning of their career to now and has had all of the same members from Pablo Honey to A Moon Shaped Pool.

But

-Pink Floyd has several phases of themselves with at least one "classic" in each, constantly able to top themselves at the peak of their career, and at that peak, no artist could really come close to topping them with a few exceptions (Marquee Moon > Animals anyone else?).

It really comes down to the wire for both bands, but I would choose Radiohead, barely. It honestly comes so close for me that it ends up coming down to personal preference, and I see I'm not alone one this judging by how split down the middle many in this forum are as well.

But both are fantastic bands. Some of the all-time best ever.

Not that close of a call for me. I would say Radiohead for me is like a 90, and Pink Floyd is like a 75. Stupid millennial, am I right?

(Subject to change, as i hear more Floyd.)

1. Radiohead - Kid A
2. Radiohead - OK Computer
3. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
4. Radiohead - Amnesiac
5. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
6. Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
7. Radiohead - In Rainbows
8. Pink Floyd - Animals
9. Radiohead - The Bends
10. Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Floyd by many many leagues. I can go through at least a half dozen Floyd albums before Radiohead could crack the list.

It's easily Pink Floyd for me. I mean they have Meddle, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you Were Here, Animals and The Wall, all of which are fantastic. The only Radiohead albums that could compete with them are In Rainbows and Kid A. I'll give you that OK Computer, Hail to the Thief and The Bends are better than the other Pink Floyd albums though. The rest of both Pink Floyd's and Radiohead's ouvre is good but not outstanding.

pink floyd is so old. move on already. it's all about now.

the 60's are bullshit, the 70's almost big big bullshit, 80's... I don't even need to tell you, except for The Smiths maybe. Get out of it! Just get out of it! Shit's happening now, it's all about now, now now now. Bigger, faster, sweatier, skinnier, whiter, blacker, Gracer.

The first Radiohead album I listened to was OK Computer, when I saw that it was number one on this site. I didn't hear anything then that I thought was worthy of of All-Time-Number-Oneyness, I've listened to it a few more times, and liked it a little more each time. The band has grown on me, but it still has a l-o-o-o-o-o-o-ong way to go before they catch up to the Floydsters.

If all Pink Floyd ever produced was Dark Side of the Moon and the Wall, I mean, if that was their entire output, they'd still be considered one of the ten best, most influential bands of all time, and (more to the point) I'd still love them way more than Radiohead. Vote goes to Pink Floyd.

For me this isn't really a question. Radiohead's material in my opinion is more creative, more consistent and just overall better.

I don't get the point of comparing bands that are decades apart from each other.How about Pink Floyd vs Can or Radiohead vs Spiritualized

Pink Floyd wins.

Dark Side of the Moon and Piper at the Gates of Dawn are phenomenal. Wish You Were Here is very good and The Wall is pretty good.

My Radiohead ideas are probably somewhat unorthodox. To me, Hail to the Thief is their most ambiguous, surprising record. So I consider it their best. The Bends is probably second for me. Yes it's just pop/rock songs, but they are very strong, stirring songs. Not really a classic, but very good. OK Computer and Kid A really lapse into pretentious territory while not really accomplishing all that much. Paranoid Android and Let Down are gorgeous, but Fitter Happier, Climbing the Walls, Electioneering, Exit Music For a Film... mediocre. Kid A has some great moments, but I can't listen to National Anthem (so dull), How To Disappear Completely is dull. The song Kid A, treefingers, Everything In its Right Place are terrific. But it never really comes together for me.

Dark Side and Piper are both 10s. Wish You Were Here is like a 9. Meddle - 8.5. The Wall is like 7.5.
Hail To the Thief might get 9.5. The Bends probably 9. OK Computer and Kid A maybe 8.5. In Rainbows - 8.
Radiohead 43
Pink Floyd 45
