I was always of the opinion that Roger Waters was a huge dick because of some reason surrounding the breakup of Pink Floyd, that he was responsible for the friction among the band that prevented them from working together. Now I am more hopeful.
If I remember right he tried to steal the name “Pink Floyd” from the rest of the band when he left. Which in and of itself makes him a dick. They’re still one of my top favorite bands regardless.
Ditto 1 of top favorites here. And Gilmour is the superior talent (through his strat) anyways. He is one of the guitarists who I try hard to emulate when I'm in the mood to experience failure lol.

Gilmour can make you feel more emotions with 3 notes than most guitarists can in a whole song.
His guitar solos on Dogs alone make him top 5
Having said that, I prefer waters version/vision of Pink Floyd.
And having said that!..... They kind of both suck without the other
Well stated, Anon.
Nobody plays slow like Gilmour. He can wring that emotion out of every note. The only one I know of who's as good at that is Jeff Beck.
2 of my 3 favorite guitarists already in the chat; I may as well add the Reverend BFG to round out the field.
