This isn't a who's your favorite because who ever is your favorite doesn't mean you would of wanted to of been them... This is a crazy post I know. I'm crazy... But who would you of been and why? But you couldn't change the past. Whos experience's and tribulations would you of wanted to go threw?

I'll say Nick, he's the only one who has been in the band throughout all of Pink Floyd's existence. He is well liked and friendly towards everyone. :)

Had to say Roger. I'd have gone with Syd, except for the obvious. But I have always said I'd like to be Roger Waters for a day, so I could understand how his brain works.

Because I can relate best to him for many different reasons, I'll go with Roger. I don't know if I'd want to be someone who I have different philosophies from, or who feels so differently on music, issues, etc. I'd rather feel comfortable in my out-of-body experience, although I'm not exactly sure Roger's *body* would fit me. :lol:

Um...that sounds kind of naughty. :twisted: Heh. I mean, if I were literally in his skin...kinda tall for me. In that case I would go with Nick.

But I chose Roger.

Nick. Nice guy. :) Like Tommy said, he's been there since the start, really.
