I voted Syd, just because I'm feeling like voting for Syd. I really could've gone either of the five options.

I don't see why Roger's winning this one though, after all he did try to split up the greatest band of all time.

I voted for Roger Waters, but Nick Mason must have a shout because he's the only one to have been with The Floyd from Pipers to the present day.

I choose Mr Pink Floyd. I won't wote for one particular member. I love them as a band and each as a musician.
I know what I like and I like what I know...

For me its Dave G by a mile but Syd isn't far behind I love Syds lyrics they are very wacky and strange and out-there, not to disrespect Rogers lyics becuase some of them are cool to but I just persoablly prefer Syds.

I got into Pink Floyd for the music, not the lyrics. So Gilmour all the way,with Wright a close second.

I'm going to have to go with Gilmour. With Richard behind. I hate voting for a single band member though!

Gilmour is my absolute favourite guitar player of all time. He's also one of my favourite male singers, all styles included. I believe he's also a somewhat nice person. On the other hand, sometimes I hate Waters' voice and he isn't anything special as a bass player. Obviously he's also been quite an asshole to the other members. Yet, just by looking at his percentual contribution as a songwriter of the essential Floyd material (for me Atom... - The Wall, even though I like Momentary and Division Bell too), how could I vote for anyone else than him?
Furthermore, Wright's keyboards is an integral part of the classic Pink Floyd sound and he also wrote some great songs.
Still, the fact remains, if not for any other reason, by mathematical grounds (most of the songs and almost all of the lyrics in the 70's), Waters is Mr. Floyd, when one of them is asked to be chosen.

The combination of his voice and lyric, and Gilmours guitar playing are the ingredients of classic Floyd.

Everything was said

Tough battle.

GO ROGER!

Surprised to see so few votes for Syd, a close second.

Waters or Gilmour, tough choice. I'd say Waters: he's the main man for the ideas and the "soul".
