I'm sticking with my statement that Floyd, is better than both.

I disagree, I dig The Who more than Floyd (at least currently)

I said better. Which in reality, they are.
Mild apprehension.

eh, I wouldn't go that far..even the who's lesser known stuff (My Gen, Quick One, Sell Out, By Numbers, Who Are You) is better than Floyds "LOOK AT US HE CAN'T FIND OUR OWN SOUND SO LET'S JUST RECORD A BUNCH OF SHIT ON RECORD " period (More, Ummagumma, part of AHM)

I picked The Who for a multitude of reasons, the biggest being that I haven't listened to much Zep.

How are they better? I mean this can be debated, but there's no clear way to say Pink Floyd is superior to The Who is any way.

Let's break it down:

Drummer: The Who easily.
Bassist: The Who easily.
Guitarist and vocalists: Can go either way depending on preferences.
Lyrics: Matter of opinion there as well.

So I hope you just meant they're better in your opinion.

I'd also go as far to say the Who were more consistent (Keith Moon era).
My friends call me Keith, but you can call me John.

I was a rust repairer.
I was a rust repairer and full-time survivor.
I survived all the major earthquakes, and the Titanic, and several air crashes.

That's fine. I know them all pretty well.
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light.
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright.
The kids are alright.

Pink Floyd has a whole era of like 4 years where they released a mix of mediocre and good stuff, and a good movie soundtrack, and also the shit after Roger left that's like 7 years

The Who's "bad stuff" was like 1-2 years

my brain tells me that the who is the "correct" answer that will be accepted by society, but my heart tells me my only choice is zeppelin.

I haven't heard enough of The Who to comment, but I do think the thread creator should refrain from mentioning their preference in the topic title. Starting the title with "Who is better", honestly. :cigar:

And I agree with Clint. Floyd pretty much owns every other band ever. Oh, and I better mention that that's in my opinion, before Eric starts on another rant.

Nope. I can think of at least six off the top of my head (including Floyd). So there.
