The Smiths. More relevant than Floyd ever were.
I like The Smiths - I think 'This Charming Man' is one of the greatest songs written on British soil - but I hope you are joking.
Looks like someone needs to brush up on his music history. Yes, Floyd were a fantastic and hugely popular band but they're not actually very influencial. After their demise, music changed dramatically and their sound will always be very much associated with the 70s. The Smiths are arguably the single most influencial band that there has ever been (yes, including The Beatles). Pretty much every alternative guitar band holds The Smiths as a major influence. Hell, even the NME found them to be "the most influencial band of all time" in a poll a couple of years ago.
So you're using the NME to back up your point?
To say that Pink Floyd weren't influencial is absolutely criminal. I like the smiths but they're not fit to be mentioned in the same breath as Pink Floyd.
After City, Pink Floyd are the greatest ever export to come out of England.
Pink Floyd for me. All day everyday
