One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces! I voted Gilmour, but hearing Mason say that sends shivers down my spine Cry

Wright has an emotional feel that makes all of the songs he sings in the greatest on their corresponding albums, such as Echoes, Summer 68', and/or Wearing the Inside Out. They make a kind of hollow, reclusive feel that trademarks said songs.

Roger Waters. He's not the greatest singer, but his voice has a certain honest, and at times, contemptuous tone to it.

David + Roger together

But if I have to stay with one of them would be David.

I've always enjoyed Syd's vocals the most. His voice worked very well with that psychedelic sound on their first album. Rick is just as good mostly due to the fact that his voice could convey emotion perfectly.

I think Syd Barrett has the best voice. The most artistic and solid.

Well, I've finally decided. I'll say Syd Barrett is the best. I've always loved early Floyd but I think all of the vocalists in the band were great.

Oh, man, listen to Roger sing, "You radiate cold shards of broken glass".....maybe I voted too soon.  Man, that album may be the scariest - chock full of naked reality - rock record ever written.  Good topic for a poll, that.

Gilmour still has a lovely voice - angelic, even......while Waters' voice is far from lover-ly, it's much more emotive - and that's his strength.  The messages that guy puts across demands eerie whispers and pointed shouts (and an array of signature sound effects).  Animals is my favorite Floyd album - Gilmour never got more out of his guitar and the lyrics just need those snide Waters vocals.  But Animals is it for me.....Roger's voice took over the Wall and it's the reason I rarely put it on.  I love the "story" behind the Final Cut, but Roger's voice was almost too much.....grating at times.  Killed the feel of the final two records.

But remember Waters' voice on "If" and "Cymbaline"....then listen to Amused to Death.  But listen to Gilmour on "Lucky Old Sun" or "Wot's...Uh the Deal"....then listen to On an Island.  Gilmour still has it.

Nick Mason? I think I haven't even heard him talk. I enjoy all their voices, but David Gilmour is definitely the best singer so I voted for him. I used to find Roger Water's voice annoying, but now I love it. Rick Wright might be my least favourite, I like his voice for backup vocals but it's too soft for me when he sings lead.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

Very tough one between Waters and Gilmour.
Waters in the end gets my vote for his emotional vocals on albums like The Final Cut and The Wall.

I like them all, but I find it a hard choice between Gilmour and Waters: David Gilmour has the best voice of them all and even in his sixties he is a good singer. Roger Waters can lay a unique venom in his singing, which fits well in some of his songs. I vote for David Gilmour, especially because Roger Waters has lost the major part of his voice and his singing comes close to whispering on his later albums.

I love Waters for the drama, Gilmour for the smoothness, and Wright for the voice.

I really couldn't choose, but boy do I love hearing the late Rick Wright open his mouth on the occasions he got to.
