Even if you ignore artistic achievement and focus on popularity, the fact is that Pink Floyd is popular the world over and has sold over 52 million albums in the US alone. They also have the exact same number of US Hot 100 #1s as Pink does.

you're kidding right,

that's like saying brittney spears or the beach boys/the eagles/the doors

there is a difference between pop/chart and serious musicians,they both have their place but come on.....

On March 17, 1973, a band in musical transition named Pink Floyd hit the Top 200 chart with the release of its new album, "Dark Side of the Moon." It entered the chart at No. 95, the top debut that week. And then a funny thing happened: It never left. Or almost never, anyway.

More than 14 years later -- 736 weeks to be precise -- in July 1988, it finally fell off The Billboard 200. Add in a later run on that chart and another 759 weeks on the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart, and Pink Floyd, with this issue, reaches the staggering plane of 1,500 weeks on the charts.

It's difficult to contextualize just how singularly dominant a chart -- and cultural -- force the album has been. The runner-up for time served on The Billboard 200, Bob Marley and the Wailers' "Legend," is several years behind, and Floyd's lead in total chart weeks is greater Marley's by an almost 2-1 margin.

Label sources say "Dark Side" has sold roughly 40 million copies worldwide and still routinely moves 8,000-9,000 copies on a slow week. In fact, the album still often outpaces the low end of The Billboard 200, and every song on the more than 30-year-old record still gets radio play, with some among the most-played songs at classic rock stations monitored by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems.

Let's see the "pop tarts" beat that!

One hundred years from now people will still be listening to Pink Floyd (and The Beatles) while ALL of the "pop tarts" will be swallowed by silence and shit out into oblivion.

ok if i may.. im not sure if your some 13 year old girl who is bored or if your a mean nothing fat guy in his mothers bsent but plaese dont pollute vgcartz with this crap.

^LOL
And Pink Floyd is wayyyyyy better.

This is getting ridiculous. I wonder if you just take a look at the most popular and acclaimed artists of all time and then pick the artist you feel like liking today and then decide to claim how the random pop artist is better and more important than the critically heralded as one of the best and most influential bands of all time. The next thread will be The Rolling Stones vs Beyoncé, I bet (even though I'm not a big fan of the Stones)

But just to answer the question and play right into your game, Pink Floyd says more in one (any) song of the Dark Side of the Moon of what Pink could ever convey in his entire career

I think taking the American equivalent to a Music A level would do wonders for you.

no. they wont be silent... it'll be more like "so I was looking through old albums that were big hits 10 years ago... i got a song I'm gonna play... remember when we actually thought this was good and it was tearing up the charts?" cut to taylor swift song... "yeah what were we thinking... now back to real music" cut to the beatles.

Edit: I listened to more Pink Floyd, and they're really weird, so P!nk

Appleseed Cast >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pink/Taylor Swift/Beyonce/Brittany Spears/Lady Gaga

Musically. Vocally. Lyricsistly (LOL cant think of a word). Emotionally. Basically.... they have more talent in their pinkie fingers. I like Appleseed Cast better than Pink Floyd but I'm not going to insult Pink Floyd by trying to compare them.

Hell... if you listen to this and you aren't wowed you basically are def... or tone def.

Taylor Swift and Pink wish they had half the talent as Mike Kinsella does with composing music and writing lyrics. Not only are the lyrics better than any song I've heard by them but Mike Kinsella also sings and conveys with more emotion.
