Has Pink Floyd became bigger than Led Zeppelin?

Well...the BOTH got songs in the big Marvel movies....
THAT'S saying something!

 

Primark haven't done a Led Zeppelin t-shirt yet...if they had, my grandkids would have it. They think the music's ****, for the most part but they like the t-shirts.

Me: Lily, what's your favourite Pink Floyd song?

Lily: Echoes.

Me: Why?

Lily: That's what daddy told me to say.

 

It was to show the longevity of 60's bands no the which of them reached the biggest peak or was more consistent

Pink Floyd have more albums and songs to scrobble, so that probably explains the difference as much as anything.
