Is it: DAVID GILMOUR Or ROGER WATERS Or NICK MASON
Or RICHARD WRIGHT Or SYD BARRETT
I Know that this thread is a bit silly, I was inspired by a similar thread on a Danish Pink Floyd forum in which Gilmour had a remarkable lead, which I personally don't understand, I don’t deny his abilities as a guitarist, but it's difficult to deny that ROGER WATERS is the force to be reckoned with, when talking about Pink Floyd. |

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. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I voted Gilmour because without his sound, they would have never made it out of the 60s....altho I loved Water's pre-Wall work, I found TFC to be a real disappointment. And I've never liked his solo stuff.. but I do love Gilmour's solo albums... So again, just matter of taste I guess... ------------- THIS IS ELP

| I'd have to say Gilmor, an excellent guitarist and without him they would have never become half of the band they were. Dont get me wrong, waters and wright are also amazing in thier own respects.( I think waters is the superior lyricist of the band.) |

| Gilmour gets my vote. Without his balance, PF were far too dominated by one man, to their detriment. |

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. ------------- The Worthless Recluse

Roger Waters, because he's the creative vein and one heck of a gifted musician that knows nearly everyting about putting decent music together. His lyrics are the finest you can get. As for Gilmore, hes an ok guitar player and thats about it. ! _________ Lunar ------------- Music Is The Soul Bird That Flies In The Immense Heart Of The Listener . . . |

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. ------------- "Mister Fripp, your music is quite different than everything else out there.

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. -------------

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. ------------- Prog is music for the mind Hear your Orphaned child!

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

I'm going to have to go with Gilmour. With Richard behind. I hate voting for a single band member though!

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. ------------- "Make tea, not love" |

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