Gilmour is a guitar god, but no front man.

I think syd was the creator, roger was the lyrical genius and dave is by far the most accomplished musician of the band...
The truth is their whole "history", and they things just went with Syd going crazy, Roger becoming this megalomaniac a**hole, Dave actually being just Dave and always wanting to do what was best for the band is what makes the Pink Floyd legend...in my opinion the one of the most important bands ever second only to The Beatles.
Was there ever a poll for the best Floyd record? If not I think there should be one. My favourite is Wish You Were Here and I just want to know what others think.

I'm sorry, but Syd made one great album and one decent album, and thats it, we're comparing that to a guy with a discography thats not only better but 10 times as large. Yet you make him out to be a f*cking god. I don't think I'm the fanboy here.

In fact, your obsession with Syd seems even more unhealthy than that of the average fanboy.

That one good album influenced a whole host of some of my favourite bands so why shouldn't I choose him?

And thinking one album he did was great & liking a few other songs is hardly an obsession.

I guess thats just another example of our incredibly different tastes.

I'd say I have more favorite bands influened by Dave era Floyd than Syd era, which is saying a lot because I'm pretty aware of who Syd influenced.

Additionally, I'd say tracks 1-3 & 5 on "The Early Singles" are up there with Piper as the best material the band ever recorded. Oh, and "Vegetable Man", of course. Wish they included that song on Saucerful.

But yeah, Syd wins, IMO.

I personally think On An island is Dave's worse solo album but big points for Animals so high up. New favourite poster title has been reclaimed!

Yeah it is in parts. It's a very safe album. I still like it of course.
