I have had many a Waters/Barrett arguments with people and I was wondering what everyone had to say on this subject?

cheers

I don't know. They're both pretty good. :grin:

neither

Then, which other?

Richard Wright

Nick Mason - the most prolific songwriter!

what guitar did Dave use on Comfortably Numb? does anyone know exactly the make of it?

Rick is cool. No one takes his music into consideration when they should.

Syd probably demonstrated to Roger that nonsense lyrics CAN sell records.

Apart from that, they are like chalk and cheese, so no true comparison is possible.

Just thought you'd like to know,
Byron

We all know Nick is the one and only true Pink Floyd member.

He's the only one featured in every single floyd album. He's been with em to the very start to the very end.

Nick Mason the true Pink Floyd member :smile:

To answer the the question Waters Vs. Barret I'll go with Waters, not that big of a Barret fan.

I never realized that, you are right.

I think it was Peter Jenner who said that Waters always watched Syd closely, kind of learnt how to lead a band from him. My personal opinio is that Waters is a prick. Always loved Syd, he seemed so nice even if he did screw himself over.

cheers

yeah waters is an ass, but, he did make some pretty amazing music. im goin with waters because barrett is a little too wierd for me, i mean i like his stuff and i can listen to it, but its not my favorite

i would definitely go with syd. i can't exactly say why but there is just something about him that i admire so much.

True I have to give credit to Waters for writing some exceptional songs. And yes admiration for Syd! I don't know what it is but one just can't help admiring him.
