Preferable Pink-Floyder

Waters or Gilmour, tough choice. I'd say Waters: he's the main man for the ideas and the "soul".

David Gilmour	29	[40.85%]
Roger Waters	29	[40.85%]

 

Tough battle.

GO ROGER!

Surprised to see so few votes for Syd, a close second.  

Gilmour is my absolute favourite guitar player of all time. He's also one of my favourite male singers, all styles included. I believe he's also a somewhat nice person. On the other hand, sometimes I hate Waters' voice and he isn't anything special as a bass player. Obviously he's also been quite an asshole to the other members. Yet, just by looking at his percentual contribution as a songwriter of the essential Floyd material (for me Atom... - The Wall, even though I like Momentary and Division Bell too), how could I vote for anyone else than him?
Furthermore, Wright's keyboards is an integral part of the classic Pink Floyd sound and he also wrote some great songs.
Still, the fact remains, if not for any other reason, by mathematical grounds (most of the songs and almost all of the lyrics in the 70's), Waters is Mr. Floyd, when one of them is asked to be chosen.

I got into Pink Floyd for the music, not the lyrics. So Gilmour all the way,with Wright a close second.

For me its Dave G by a mile but Syd isn't far behind I love Syds lyrics they are very wacky and strange and out-there, not to disrespect Rogers lyics becuase some of them are cool to but I just persoablly prefer Syds.

I voted for Roger Waters, but Nick Mason must have a shout because he's the only one to have been with The Floyd from Pipers to the present day.

I voted Syd, just because I'm feeling like voting for Syd. I really could've gone either of the five options.

I don't see why Roger's winning this one though, after all he did try to split up the greatest band of all time.

Gilmour is god sitting down playing a guitar occasionally really high!

syd is one of my idols. i know its an odd choice but he is just as insane as me! tho i had to go for roger cos i admire the way he put in all the effort to give pink floyd one of the most consistent careers ever! they didnt sell out to pop or continuosly rearrange their line up. roger kept em organised me thinks. and he reli pushed gilmour into songwriting cos gilmour used to rely on roger and during ummagumma, roger start to push him into writing his own songs.
