This is the most difficult tie to date for me. After much deliberating, musing, cogitating, ruminating etc I have decided. It has to be Pink Floyd or perhaps....

Wow how can that many people have voted for Elton over one of the greatest bands of all time?

Elton John is not a band.

Nuff said.

But it's open to solo artists as well, but i agree the floyd are the winners here.

Never been a Floyd fan but have been listening to a bit of them over lock down to see if I'm missing anything. I'm not. But I voted for them over Elton.

Elton’s got a cracking back catalogue of hits, but I can’t think of one LP I’d want to listen right through. Floyd started interesting as Syd Barrett’s psychedelia band, and got even better by the mid-70s with 2 superb albums, before tailing off, so they get the nod.
