10.16.13 | hmmm I think they are equal |
wacknizzle
10.16.13 | Love em both. But Floyd wouldn't be what it is without Gilmour's songwriting and his signature guitar playing |
LambsBread
10.16.13 | shit this list is fd up |
evilford
10.16.13 | Love them both for different reasons but I'm gonna have to go with Roger |
laughingman22
10.16.13 | Too difficult to decide |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | By "Waters songs" and "Gilmour songs" do you mean songs sung by them or written by them? Either way some of those are wrong. |
Muisc4Life26
10.16.13 | David Gilmour for me. |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | And yeah Gilmour for me because he's my favourite vocalist but Waters rules also |
demigod!
10.16.13 | Roger's a cunt but he's a better songwriter so Roger. also i find his vocals more interesting than Gilmour's. |
evilford
10.16.13 | Roger rules agreed |
avonbarksdale221
10.16.13 | Roger is obvs a god, but it has to be Gilmour for me. |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | Waters' vocals more interesting than Gilmour's? You craaaaazyyyyyyyy man |
LambsBread
10.16.13 | @Rowan I meant songs sung by them, for the songs on the list |
demigod!
10.16.13 | i dunno i find emotionally Roger's got more range than Gilmour. Gil is cool but he kinda just does the same air-y vocal tone to every song, whereas Roger can go from a light whisper to a yelp at pretty much any moment. |
avonbarksdale221
10.16.13 | Waters is clearly the better songwriter. However, Gilmour's guitar playing was the heart of PF, and he is a far better singer. |
Gwyn.
10.16.13 | Gilmour>>>> |
LambsBread
10.16.13 | Its like peanut butter vs jelly |
TwigTW
10.16.13 | Brilliant together--not so much apart. |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | @Lambs in that case, part 2 of Another Brick and the choruses of Mother are sung by Gilmour, Have a Cigar is sung by Roy Harper, and Waters sings San Tropez.
@demi damn dude I couldn't disagree more but y'know
@avon yeah truth I mean Waters is the best lyricist ever so |
Aids
10.16.13 | fuckkkk difficult question
my vote goes to Gilmour cause he is the best guitar player alive but Waters wrote some straight up classic shit. he loses points for being a total anus though. |
wacknizzle
10.16.13 | Roger hardly even sings much, except on the Wall |
demigod!
10.16.13 | he's all over Animals and i fucking love his vocal delivery on there, so pissed. |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | Not to mention like everything on The Final Cut that he sung
And pretty much one song per album pre-WYWH |
wacknizzle
10.16.13 | I knew you guys were gonna mention The Final Cut, I still don't really listen to that album, never liked it very much, but I know Roger does most if all the singing on it.
Your right Demi, I forgot Roger does a fair amount of singing on Animals, I just haven't jammed it in a while. Yeah's great on there |
tlhk
10.16.13 | waters is such a fuck |
wacknizzle
10.16.13 | I have a belief that once upon a time Water's was not a fuck, I know it's a crazy theory but just maybe |
LambsBread
10.16.13 | wow I cant believe waters sung san tropez |
LambsBread
10.16.13 | having your dad sacrificed like lamb to the slaughter by the government that your country now worships will turn anyone into a fuck |
wacknizzle
10.16.13 | That and being stuck looking like an ugly ass mongoloid until the time he turned 60, yeah that kinda sucks |
tommygun
10.16.13 | gilmour by a lot |
LambsBread
10.16.13 | I really do not know
probably bc I didn't even know who sung which songs, still cant believe rogers sung san tropez |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | Weird I find it easy to tell their voices apart, it is definitely Waters on Tropez |
avonbarksdale221
10.16.13 | You guys are all idiots, Nick Mason is clearly best. |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | lol |
JamieTwort
10.16.13 | San Tropez is a Waters song. It's the only song from Meddle that Waters sings on and it's the only one on that album solely credited to Waters. |
JamieTwort
10.16.13 | ^Just noticed that that's already been pointed out. But seriously when it comes to picking Gilmour songs you really couldn't have fucked up more with that choice lol. It's one of the weakest songs on Meddle too. |
JamieTwort
10.16.13 | I'd have to go with Gilmour as he's one of my top 10 guitarists and he's also a great vocalist. Waters is a fantastic songwriter/lyricist though. |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | Pointed out by me, of course |
JamieTwort
10.16.13 | Yeah, I should have known you'd have pointed it out already ;) |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | : D
it's not a bad idea though, the whole top 5 songs for each vocalist thing. If I were to pick 10,
Gilmour:
WYWH
Time
Comfortably Numb
Dogs
Echoes
Waters:
Shine On
Sheep
Brain Damage/Eclipse
The Gunner's Dream
Not sure |
JamieTwort
10.16.13 | Might as well have a go too.
Gilmour:
Echoes
Dogs
Time
Wish You Were Here
Comfortably Numb
Waters:
Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Shine On
Sheep
Brain Damage/Eclipse
The Gunner's Dream
Two Suns in the Sunset |
JamieTwort
10.16.13 | Woops I picked six for Waters for some reason. Call it a tie for the 5th spot between Gunner's Dream and Two Suns. |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | Looks like our lists are pretty much identical but in a different order. Now that I've started, might as well go on.
Wright:
Time (still counts as one of his and one of Gilmour's)
Echoes (same principle)
Stay
Wearing the Inside Out
Remember a Day |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | Gunner's Dream >>>> |
JamieTwort
10.16.13 | Nah, thinking about it I'd probably have to go for Two Suns over Gunner's Dream actually. That song is so incredibly powerful. Love both so much though. I might actually prefer those two songs over Brain Damage/Eclipse the more I think about it. |
Winesburgohio
10.16.13 | Syd Barrett ;) |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | Damn that's a hard choice but Gunner's Dream wins for me, those extended notes man
Barrett's not hard to do really, Astronomy Domine, Matilda Mother, Chapter 24, Bike and Jugband Blues. |
Winesburgohio
10.16.13 | Have you heard The Madcap Laughs Rowan? Great great great album, it might impel you to switch up that list a bit |
Rowan5215
10.16.13 | Yeah man I've heard all the Floyd's solo stuff except Nick Mason's. I love the Madcap Laughs but I was just doing Floyd songs for those lists
If I was including solo stuff then Golden Hair and Octopus would make an appearance for sure |
menawati
10.16.13 | Together they are much better than the sum of the parts. |
SCREAM!
10.16.13 | well if Gilmour is responsible for both Dogs AND Echoes then it's really no contest here |
evilford
10.16.13 | together they made literal magic
apart, imo it's Waters fairly easily. Dave's guitar playing is great and goes far beyond "skill" but Waters wrote the most interesting stuff and that's what really engages me |
Greem
10.16.13 | Pink Floyd is better |
JamieTwort
10.16.13 | Which one's Pink? |
guitarded_chuck
10.16.13 | David Gilmour AINEC |
guitarded_chuck
10.16.13 | Is not |
DominionMM1
10.16.13 | why no inclusion of rick wright? |
rockandmetaljunkie
10.16.13 | Gilmour |
laughingman22
10.16.13 | why no inclusion of rick wright? [2] |
jefflebowski
10.16.13 | gilmour is a much better singer, musician and wrote wish you were here so obviously him |
JamieTwort
10.16.13 | Gilmour is without a doubt the better musician but Waters is the better artist and the more conceptually creative of the two. They're quite difficult to compare really. |
rockandmetaljunkie
10.16.13 | Bottomline: Waters + Gilmour = immortal music |
LambsBread
10.16.13 | ^ agreed lol. that I what I meant by peanut butter vs jelly |
TheNotrap
10.17.13 | They're both great musicians.
Btw, Comfortably Numb, Mother and Wish You Were Here were written by Waters and Gilmour. |
