1. Hi Bob

Both have their merits. pink Floyd's music was so different, especially with the early albums like Umma Gumma with Careful with that Axe Eugene and Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. But you know what, you just can't beat Jammin or I shot the Sheriff.

2. Bob Marley influenced more than Jamaica

it's that world beat thing...
:hi:

[OneBlueSky]

3. I like Floyd, but Marley was a true pioneer . . .

comparing them is an apples and oranges kind of thing, but in a forced choice I have to go with Marley . . .

4. Syd Floyd or post-Syd Floyd?

I think I would still vote Marley, but I think the Syd question is important.

8. Consider all their work, both with and without Barrett and Waters

Welcome to DU, MyshkinCommaPrince!

5. Oh this is a hard one indeed

voted to make it a tie.

6. Wow - this is the hardest one yet!

I honestly can't vote for one over the other.
BTW, which one's Pink?

7. I have to go Floyd here.

Bob Marley was great and his message was great but Floyd were so much more trippy. I mean who hasn't gotten wasted and listened Comfortably Numb over and over? I love Bob Marley and I don't wish to denigrate him but Floyd win by a lot. Dark Side of the Moon alone is an ultimate of ultimates.

[Catch22Dem]

9. I have great respect for Marley

But, Pink Floyd is more my style. So, if we're strictly talking music, and nothing else, my vote goes to PF.

11. It's all about the music, and both are monumental groups.

:hi:

[Emboldened Chimp]

10. Not an easy choice

I love both. But, I picked Floyd.

12. Interesting run, Friday night favored Bob Marley

Saturday afternoon favors Pink Floyd.

13. You like your first kid or your second one better?

That is kinda how this one hits me.

Floyd is a huge part of the soundtrack for my life, but so is Bob Marley. I had to play some Marley this morning just to get started, in fact.

Wow, I'm scratchin my head here...
