I agree with every part of this statement. There is nothing Pink Floyd have done since 1988 that even comes close to Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, The Downward Spiral or The Fragile.

That being said, Radiohead are the best BAND out there, Nine Inch Nails is just Trent Reznor.

Re: who's the best?

my vote is for other, my personal opinion is that the greatest band in the past fifteen years would have to be the german recording duo Gut Lesson Klown, ( the Gut is pronounced goot ) they are a little known electronic group sounding something along the lines of the residents, or the butthole surfers. they are brilliant, and are in my opinion, the greatest band of teh past fifteen years. everyone owes it to themselves to somehow try and listen to them, at leats once i their lives.

Re: who's the best?

Box sets. And live albums. Not bad, but no new songs.

Right, so how could they be the best band then? Greatest hits albums are a dime a dozen.

Re: who's the best?

How could the post-Roger Floyd be beating Radiohead, Tool, NIN, Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana put together? This certainly is a weird poll.

Re: who's the best?

I think most members of this site see Pink Floyd as a poll option and hastily assault it with their cursor.

Re: who's the best?

technically, if we're going to split hairs...Led Zeppelin has not created music as a unit in the last 15 years. This means that solo projects do not count and cannot be credited as a band effort. This is similar, though not exactly the same, as to why OG changed his vote.

Re: who's the best?

Hmmm.... Although I LOVE Pink Floyd, in the last 15 years... No. I don't think Post-Waters Floyd is very good at all. So Nirvana it is.
