Would you say that "half-assed vocals" applies to Floyd?

I'm listening to "The Wall" right now to try and find out what I even feel about Pink Floyd. I haven't heard that much, really. If there's another album I should be hearing instead, feel free to show me the way.

My first instinct is to say that I don't exactly find the vocals riveting, but I might end up somewhat disagreeing with myself there.

The Wall's a good one but a bit drawn out for learning about the band. If you had to pick one record for an idea of their sound, it would be Dark Side of the Moon.

That is singing you dork.

I know that you mean the style and emotion in his singing as opposed to his melodic virtuosity. That's why I called you a dork, because that's a huge part of singing that you're presenting as something separate.

The question is not whether or not Gilmour is more popular than Holdsworth, it's whether he deserves to be. We are all very aware that Gilmour is more popular. At least try to have a discussion without wildly misinterpreting other people's posts and premises, it's better for everybody that way, sonny.

Surely you can't give up something that you've never started?

Waters sings to his lyrics. He's a very dark, deep, and cynical person (to put it mildly). He inflects his vocals with the emotions he had while writing the lyrics.

Read the words and then listen to how he delivers them.

You got to be crazy, gotta have a real need
Got to sleep on your toes and when you're on the street
Got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
Then moving in silently down wind and out of sight
You got to strike when the moment is right without thinking

And after a while you can work on points for style
Like the club tie and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in

Definitely, he's a very expressive singer and easily my fave of the Floyd vocalists.
