Absolutely Dave. At least at one time, though I'm not too sure about now, Roger's voice seems to have improved and Dave sounds like he needs a Ricola.

Rick. Without a doubt, Rick. I point to "Time" and "Echoes" as my proof.

Yeah, But dave also sang on Echoes, and He's done the Choir Part on Saucerful of secrets on the Pompeii Performance Beautifully. He's got a Great voice, the best among the floyds.

As far as singing ability goes I'd say Dave. As far as sending chills up my spine goes i'd say Roger.
Rick I think is somewhere in between and its too bad he didn't sing on more later albums.
The vocals on 'Broken China' are superb.

I'd say Dave. But he hasn't got a voice everybody will remember. I think the voice isn't important for Pink Floyd, the songs, the lyrics and the guitar are much more important.

More proof: "Wearing the Inside Out" is the only song on TDB that doesn't sound like some fat 50+-year-old has-been is singing (not that I've got anything against Dave, but man, did that sweet voice from The Narrow Way ever change...yich.)

Yeah- but the difference between Dave and Rick is that you don't need to bury Dave in reverb (and lots of it) to appreciate his vocals + Rick's got the range of Helen Keller with a bag over her head, to be perfectly frank.

I'm gonna have to say Dave because of 2 songs:

Wish You Were Here
Dogs (well not the part that Roger sings)

Fixx, funny.

Byron, I agree.

Dave at one time was great, but like I said before, he needs a ricola, while Waters voice seems to get better with age, though not as good as Dave's once was, but better than the present Dave.

Confused yet?
