At the moment he's right between Waters and Wright, which means he gets the respect he deserves IMO.

This, although Dave has a nice soothing voice which is probably why he tends to get the votes for polls like these. I personally find Roger's vocals to be more appealing because he's a lot more interesting imo.

Of course it's David. Check any live bootleg and you'll find out that Waters can't sing at all (if Live8 wasn't proof enough).

Syd easily for both voice and lyrics.

I much prefer DG - but am surprised that so many others agree. I expected Waters to have a stronger showing...

It's been hard to choose between Gilmour and Waters, they both have their unique strong points, but I think Waters has a more unique voice/stile that will make me choose him (though he can also be more annoying). Still love Gilmour's voice, and Rick's too.

Let's not forget Roy Harper. Although my vote goes to Roger for the bitter edge.

Syd, closely followed by a Gilmour/Waters combo (Gilmour or Waters on their own doesn't do it for me but put them together and they're superb).

Richard. I've grown tiered of Dave's voice. And Roger's voice is perfect for some songs, like The Final Cut or Vera or A Gunner's Dream, but not quite as good as Rick's. Richard's voice is unique and just slightly bad. And it's good to have a slightly bad voice as a singer. At least I think so. Paintbox is an obvious example. Summer '68 and Time also have great vocals. And Echoes, although both Rick and Dave, it's probably has some of the better vocals in any song.

Cant really vote. I like Gilmour and Waters in equal measure, and Wright was good at creating the contrasts with his relatively softer voice.
Technically speaking, Waters was not a great singer, but I just cant imagine some of Floyds greatest songs without the tension, and mania that he brought to the music. His contribution to 'Dogs' was one of his finest performances for me. His personality used to come through very powerfully when he sang.
