Hmm. I think if I spread opinions and heresay about people I'd never met and truly didn't know, then I'd consider myself an asshole.Devil_man_665 wrote:Syd he's the only one i find that didnt become an asshole. he didnt get the chance and if he was he didnt mean it
but back to the point - it's their collective music that has affected my life, not their rumoured personalities.

my favourite is
Sir Roger David Nick Rick Syd the 6th from the Floyd dynasty
i cant say i like one more than the other.. i wouldnt like this whole case of them fighting with each other after splitting to blur my opinion. In their best years they were a TEAM. i just like them all.. each one for something else

Is it allowed to revisit such an old thread?
But, I'm shocked no one loves Nick Mason!

I don't usually bother with polls, but there you go, Mason gets a vote. The way I read the question I only considered the living ones.
I happened to have this on in the background yesterday... a nice bloke

I also feel that Mason has the best handle on what was great about each of the various eras of Floyd... I reckon a good balance of the conceptual themes/ lyrics and the musicianship/ composition, without being too precious or averse to criticism.
A healthy sense of musical adventure with his collaborations with Wyatt and Bley, with agreeing to produce the Damned, as well as the current Saucerful of Secrets obv.
I don't get any sense of an appetite for musical exploration from Waters since The Wall or perhaps TFC... I do like the raw, intimate sort of Waters songs, which I suppose he can still do.
I'm certainly most inspired by Barrett, and find that despite all the difficulties, he seemed to be consistently pretty down-to-earth in talking about his music in interviews and keen to shake off undue-hype throughout his musician period, I'm sure I'm not the only person to find that an endearing quality.

'Ça Ira'? He explored the opera.
And, Another Brick in the Wall: The Opera , as well.
And, there is Igor Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale too.
Rog is not afraid to explore a different things.

Re: WHO is your favourite Pink Floyd member?
Sure, that'd be a counter argument.
I'd still see those things as grand projects, and although I like some of Waters conceptual stuff within Pink Floyd, I get more of a sense of music for its own sake from Gilmour and Mason, which I find more relatable as a musician (I'm not saying this makes Waters a terrible person).
Still - a fairly pointless sort of thing to debate really.
