I voted for Roger.

Astonishing: so many people have written "Roger", but he has only three votes (one mine)...

Well... between those 2 choices, I choose Dave... he may lack the 'feeling' Rog's voice have (mainly 'cause Rog wrote the lyrics, so he understood more their meaning), but technically, Dave has a better voice, IMO.

BUT, I guess this poll lacks a 3rd option: Rick Wright... if he had been there, my vote would've gone to him.

Is this even debatable? It is Dave. C'mon.

David ..... but of course Waters had the emotional strength and touch
of sarcasm....

Away from Floyd, I think these guys have great versatile voices :

Mike Patton (Faith NO More), Donald Fagen (Steely Dan), Robert Plant, Don Henley .....

Freddie Mercury and Kurt Cobain both had amazing and very distinctive voices. Shame they've both bought the farm.

Best singer in the floyd:

Roger.

I would have to say David's more because of the annoying squel of Roge's on some of The Wall songs like, "Don't Leave Me Now," or like pretty much all of them. I personally thought The Wall was kind of a bad CD. I mean CN and Goodbye Blue Sky and In The Flesh were all good but some of the songs kind of seemed pointless. I don't know, the Wall I guess invoked some dark feelings in me and I like to be mellowed out by my music and not disturbed. And once I saw The Wall movie I feared the Wall even more. I don't know.. just a personal opinion. I thought Water's was great on all the other CD's however.
