Waters - A fantastic bassist and a great writer, whereas Glimour is a standard vocalist and a sickeningly overrated guitarist.

If I have to choose, I prefer Gilmour, though they were at their best when they worked togeter (and with Wright too).

Waters, for the brilliance in his songwriting.

tough choice. Gilmour's great at his axe ONLY (bad writing), and Waters at his songwriting ONLY (bad playing).
but anyway, im for Waters here

Hard to say, both are living icons.

They are nothing without each other. Amused to Death was good but with a little Gilmour input it'd be great

Gilmour is  clearly more talented.  Waters is clearly more creative.
 
I vote for creativity.  Viva Waters!

Gilmour, easily.

Great guitar player (he has a tone and style which is only matched by a few, Andy Latimer for one) wrote many of Floyd's best songs and is a much better singer than Waters.

Waters was a great songwriter but an average bass player and his voice has gone.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

I prefer Gilmour's musicianship and character, but theres no question Waters is the better songwriter, especially during his tenure with Floyd.

I just agree, that Waters (solo) isn't as good as with band (PF). But at least from his solo works you can feel, where from Pink Floyd got it's atmosphere.

Let take last Gilmour album - nice mainstream/pop-rock, in a manner of Jack Bruce

SNORE vs. SNORE

I guess Gilmour doesn't whine as much, though it'd be nice if he played more than one guitar note every 24 seconds.

Waters. Gilmor is not bad guitar-guy, but Waters is author of Pink Floydian dark lyrics and atmosphere. Pink Floyd without Waters is in fact David Gilmour band = average rock band, never more
