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.

Allright, I was only a couple songs in so I've swithced to Dark Side of the Moon now.

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.

Yes, Pink Floyd is. (I've given up trying to get the points you try to make. - You just enjoy picking people apart from your own pretentious sensibilities.)

Is Gilmour more popular than Holdsworth - Yes.
Is Pink Floyd overrated - No.
Is Brittany Spears more popular than Wagner - Yes.
Is Wagner overrated - No.

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.

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