I am glad that all ten people who voted for Waters have stated WHY they feel he is the most over-rated member LOL

I don't feel that David & Roger are Over-Rated but more known to casual Floyd fans.

Fair enough, here's my explanation for why I voted for Roger, even though several people have said it already. Roger was a brilliant songwriter, and a very good singer too. However, so many people saying he was the essencial part of Pink Floyd is what makes me consider him overrated. This could easily apply to Dave, Syd, or even Rick or Nick (as someone else has said in this thread, I forget who) as well, but let's be realistic for a second. How many people go out and say that David Gilmour was the driving force behind Pink Floyd? How many people would be complaining about a Gilmour-less Pink Floyd? How many people do complain today about a Syd-less Pink Floyd? Yeah, there are some, but it's not half as much as the amount of people who say Roger was Pink Floyd, the others were just the icing on the cake. If so many people did say that it was Dave or Syd who made Pink Floyd good, I would have voted for Dave or Syd. But I feel that Pink Floyd was a group effort all the way through, and that anyone who is said to be the most important part of the band is immideately overrated. Along with this, I belive that Pink Floyd managed to carry on just fine without Roger, proving that Roger wasn't the "driving force behind the band" as many people say.

Did I explain my reason well enough?

That doesn't bother me, i would have much less repsect for him if Pink Floyd released a bad album tomorrow.

I voted Dave (besides: is it Dave or David?). He's an absolutely great guitar-player and a great singer, but I think that his lyrics are quite overrated

He says he prefers David for some reason. Perhaps that reason is because that is his name!

Well, within the last ten year's Pink Floyd released "The Division Bell" and "Pulse" not to mention they went on tour and he will also be releasing the Pulse DVD as well.
