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.

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 voted Waters. He gave Floyd their edge, their bite, and their agression that made them accessable to non prog fans. He strikes me as a bit of an arsehole to be honest, but I cant deny his talent. The combination of his voice and lyric, and Gilmours guitar playing are the ingredients of classic Floyd.
