Roger Waters or David Gilmour?

[Jara sang]

I swing back and forth between the two, I love them both.

[Magrittes Pipe]

1. Syd Barrett.

[flakey_foont]

5. Amen!

Syd's Pink Floyd was a unique creation....
I prefer it to the later version

[seemunkee]

7. The madcap laughs

[matcom]

2. Gilmore

hands down


*dons flame suit*

[mr blur]

6. No,I agree with you

Gilmore any day. Waters has been hacking out the same old tripe for years. His father died in The War, you know...

[matcom]

8. yeah, i heard

:D

Gilmore is one of the MOST brilliant musicians IMHO

writing AND execution

[Parche]

10. the best

He is the best guitarist I know!!
He rocks, he made them what they are today....awesome

We still like Roger though,

[ksilvas]

3. Gilmour as Guitarist, Waters as Song Writer

4. Waters.

9. Don't make me choose!!!!!!

David -- what a guitar player and he has two of the greatest R&R quotes ever:

Engineer: David, we are getting some feedback.

David: Feedback, where the hell would R&R be without feed back.

When asked if Floyd would tour:

I am too old, too fat and too rich.

The rumor around here was they might re-unite for Live 8. Both Waters and Gilmour said they would work together for something like Live Aid and with Geldoff (sp) on board -- who knows it might happen. I know I will be watching it.

But, no I cannot choose between Gilmour and Rogers. Floyd is nothing without those two working together.

11. I have to vote for Gilmour

Seems much more down to earth than Waters.

[Zuni]

12. which one was the self indulgent ego maniac?

Oh yeah, Waters was.

[Orsino]

13. Gilmour.

Pink Floyd is often criticized as overly formal or cold. Gilmour belies that, however, with almost every note. With his or Waters' deadpan singing, Gilmour's guitar screams the emotions that aren't sung. Very neat mix.
