Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

Voted Gilmour, but I agree that the band was very good about rotating vocalists as appropriate for each song. In particular, I found it very effective the way Waters sang the verses as the doctor and Gilmour sang the chorus as Pink on Comfortably Numb. I remember reading somewhere that Wright was an excellent complement to Gilmour's vocals, since their voices were similar.

| If you have any doubt about Gilmour and Wright singing together, then listen to Echoes again (or else, you can watch them sing it on Live at Pompeii). They are both singing at the same time the whole song, and indeed it works beautifully. I guess Time and Us & Them would be the other two most notable examples, if I identify the vocals correctly.

Rick Wright for me. And I love when they did their stoned-out oooh's and aaah's (Mother Fore, Eugene, etc.)

I don't see any similarity between Mother Fore (from Atom Heart Mother, right?) and Eugene... yet I do love Eugene... and on Atom Heart Mother, I hadn't realized any of the vocals/chorals were actually sung by the band. However, perhaps my favourite from what I think you mean on this is the wordless vocals from Gilmour at the live versions of Heavenly Voices.

Oh, I haven't payed much attention. I do have one live version that I have heard, but I prefered the original one and haven't payed much attention to it in a while. I might look for it and give it a listen, and check out how it sounds.

They've all played their part and are all good singers. I'll vote for Waters as the rage in his voice appeals to me and works so well with the lyrics.

For most vocals, DG. But only Rog can do those verses in Comfortably Numb (not say Van the Man whose well meant performance still had me cringing in horror) Rog makes a terrific character vocalist (Several Species of Fur and The Wall) and a good and effective alternative as and when required (Brain Damage and Eclipse). He did well with the Final Cut as well. His main problem (and there was one) is that he sang through his nose. Just being told by his band mates "you can't sing" wasn't quite enough.
Richard Wright added a fragile quality to the vocals which gave more nuance. I did find it interesting that, for me any way, all their vocals seemed to imitate each other on Obscured By Clouds.
I wonder how PF would have done as a purely instrumental act...
