Pink Floyd is probably the greatest BAND of all time. All of them were top notch musicians that made each other better. Waters and Gilmour had a Lennon/McCartney thing going, in that they had an in band rivalry of sorts and pushed each other to perfection. Lyrically speaking, you think Cobain was sound??? Get serious, there might be only one person that wrote better lyrics then Waters and that would be Dylan. Waters' brain children were DSoTM, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. Cobain nor anyone else since Waters can touch him. Who better to make Waters' lyrics and vision come to life then David Gilmour who might have one of the best singing voices ever (at least as far as R & R is concerned). He had an unconventional rock and roll voice because he actually sang. Gilmour's guitar was amazing, and the only reason he doesn't get hype is because his style wasn't explosive, he has the most melodic(sp) and rythmically sound style of play ever. Amazing songs to his credit is Dogs, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, and Comfortably Numb. Also Rick Wright was an amazing musician, if it weren't for drama between him and Waters he could've contributed more to the band after WYWH.
