BORB II 70s Quarters - (2)Pink Floyd vs. (6)Eric Clapton

[TaturCity34]

Clapton in one of the great guitar soloist but I just love Pink Floyd too much.

Hard not to vote for Clapton, but Floyd took things to a whole other level.

clapton is one of the greatest guitarists ever, but floyd's music is so incredible i have to vote for them

[Dr. Duran Duran]

I really can't think of a better live band than Floyd. Rush might give them a run for their money. (where's Rush in this tourney I might ask?)

Only 8 spots for their decade, and they were on the buble. Can't include everyone.

see the zeppelin thread.

Those are my 2 favorite live shows, too. I never got a chance to see Zeppelin live, though (saw Plant on his Now and Zen tour, but without Jimmy it doesn't count).

Whaaaaa?!?!?!?


Dr.DD, This second line is an edit. Forgive me, I didn't see the word "live" in your post so I freaked out. I've always heard that the members of Rush were fantastic musicians. Though I don't think I'd even pay a Canadian five to see them. Im 23, if you weren't there I believe its difficult to handle "high-voice" rock.
eg: Rush, Styx, Boston, Kansas, foriegner, journey, etc....

People, who were there when they were big, love these bands. I really can't even enjoy any of that music. Its just weird. I've never heard male voices sound so strange.

It's all about what you grew up with. I actually like a lot of the stuff that's coming out today, but my favorite bands will always be the older groups (including Rush). I like all of the bands you listed actually. I can see where it would be weird if you weren't used to it, though. Too bad, 'cause Rush really does put on a hell of a show. Especially Peart. Man alive can that boy play the drums.
