I love Pink Floyd, don't get me wrong, I just admire Radiohead's lyrical content a lot more. But in saying that, I haven't exactly sat down and analysed Pink Floyd's lyrics or concepts for the most part. I guess what I meant by it, to give an inelaborate example, is that two of Pink Floyd's songs on The Dark Side of the Moon are about simple subsistences; namely "Money" and "Time."

Person A - Hey, what's that song "Money" about?

Person B - ...

OK computer is alot more complex. its logical. "Darkside..." came out in the 70s, "OK" in the 90s. the technological advances over 20 years are massive, so it makes sense to say Radiohead had a lot more at their disposal in making the album compared to when Floyd made theirs. whether that warrants saying OK Computer is a better album is based upon personal opinion. i do prefer Yorke's lyrics though.

Dark Side Of The Moon is an album that you must meticulously listen to in its entirety to fully grasp its conceptualizations. "Money" is not simply about money itself, nor is "Time" about time itself. The true puport of the record is a little more subterranean than you may have supposed.

Anything you say here is bound to be debated.
I love this album but I'm not even sure if it's their best. Not sure what is....

Not sure whether I'd be comparing it to Dark side of the moon either. Ha! there you go!
