Yeah, it's a fun little tune, and dear I say, ever so prog. I mean, it is a dog on vocals, all it needed was a cape and an extended keyboard solo with extensive meter changes.

I like Madamoiselle Nobs a lot actually, a nice fun song, not to mention a cute doggy.

I'm between Gilmour and Waters, and it's very difficult to choose for me. I think Gilmour was a better singer, but Waters feeling and voice is utterly unmistakable. I guess I'll have to postpone my vote. However, I must say that the best singer from Pink Floyd is just the one who's singing it a particular song: really, their voices work better on the parts each one's got to sing. Imagine if Waters and Gilmour's singing parts were reversed on Comfortably Numb; it would have been a dissaster.

Wright for me. He could sing with such a great feeling, it seems so shy just like him. Listen to Stay on Obscured By Clouds you'll get what I mean.Without him, Echoes wouldn't sound like that. Such a great man he was..

I agree with the Doctor on this.
 
Nick didn't really sing on One of These Days, but it is his voice you hear.
 
Nick did however sing with Gilmour on Corporal Clegg.  It's Nick's voice which sings "He won it in the war in 1944" and the rest of the response lines.  He also sang the rare "Scream Thy Last Scream" in its entirety.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Could you explain it to me please?  What do you mean?  Tongue
 
Tough one.  Enjoy all of their vocals to one degree or another.  It also seems that some songs were perfectly suited to one or two of their voices.  For example, I couldn't picture Waters singing Echoes, or Wright singing One of My Turns.  Gilmour probably had the most flexible voice, he could go from the mellow to the heavy, so for sheer versatility I'd have to go with him.  Waters could do some softer stuff, but not as well as Gilmour.  Of course Mason did put in some amazing work with Corporal Clegg and Scream Thy Last Scream.  But...Gilmour.
 
I have to say too that overall, I think that Waters, Gilmour and Wright worked well together vocally, as well as compositionally, and the whole is definitely greater than the sum of the parts IMO.
