While Waters can sing very emotionally, my vote has to go to Gilmour for Welcome To The Machine.

Isn't it a ROGER WATERS song??????? 
I will go with poor ROGER as he brings the emotion and the edge into his songs; but none of them are great, great singers anyway!

Roger Waters for me, he just can lay much more emotion in a song than Gilmour does.

I voted for Gilmour but I always felt Wright was very underrated as a Singer and Keyboard player. I think Stay is a classic and the combination of Gilmour and Wright on Echoes is mindblowing......

David Gilmour by a MILE. Waters sounds good on Animals. But I listened to The Wall yesterday, and I have to say that it almost painful to here him sing sometimes.  Gilmour has a beautiful voice. I have respect for both of them.

Gilmour isn't in any way a great singer...but he is better than Waters, who tends to 'act' out the vocals more than really sing them.

The miracle is that the Floyd had Barret and Wright and Waters and Gilmour singing... I can't split their contributions, nor compare them.

A good leason I learned probably from listening to bands like Marillion and Floyd is nicer isn`t always better , there's an honesty in the phrasing the ownership of the lyric that an average voice can convey beautifully even better than a more commercial perfect to the ear voice can if the lyrics suite it, for this reason I went for Roger Waters

very unfair poll!!! my vote goes for Waters cause i can't stand Gilmour. But you are just evaluating the only thing Gilmour does better than Waters... Waters is better: Composer, lyricist, person(i mean good guy), and he has deeper feeling such as Hammill does... My vote obviously goes for RW. (Not Robbie Williams huh  )

Yeah, it was already obvious you are enlighted, thus voting Rick Wright  Man, he deserves so much more recognition...
