I can say that the Beatles started out as a candy-ass pop band...then, thanks to Lennon (and LSD), became artistically valid.
Floyd started out as an experimental art band...and never put out bubble-gum shit like "I want to hold your hand"....far stretch from NIN's "I want to **** you like an animal".
Floyd wins on an integrity scale...it's really a matter of personal preference...they are both transcendent. Not even the same kind of music...Beatles are more traditional/assessable format.
Beatles has the rare combination of McCartney...who was more straight-laced/conventional...and Lennon...who was more anti-establishment. That chemistry produced amazing work.
Floyd was more "**** off...you suck. Take our music or leave it"
Do most people know that the Stones were strictly a cover band for a few years...thats kind of crazy.
