Roger Waters or David Gilmour?

Personally, I think they're both equally as talented. I love both their voices, and I think that Pink Floyd wouldn't really be Pink Floyd if it was missing any one of its members. Of course, they did go on after Roger left, but that only backs up my point. For example, The Division Bell wasn't "bad," it was just different, and definitely lacking something. I know people who can't stand Roger Waters, but I think he seems like a pretty nice person (maybe a little over-confident, but he has his reasons). I really can't say anything bad about David Gilmour. Your thoughts and opinions?

Update:

I agree with you 100% Ron Pot Head Pixie. And about their looks... Roger looks a lot healthier now but he was kind of ugly before. David Gilmour was a cutie :P... especially in their Barrett-Gilmour days.

    David Gilmour a very nice man soft spoken and optimistic,now having said that roger Waters has work on some of his demons but his past has scared some people within the band,the freindly face at there latest concert could of been a front,but the cause of the event was a greater purpose

    I think Waters is better as a lyricist. He can really convey his thoughts in songs and albums, and they can really hit you hard.

    But I prefer Gilmour as a musician. I love his guitar work, he amazes me in every song. And I prefer his voice.

    Both are great.

    Oh and I think Dave looked much better than Roger in the 70's, but Roger looks like he's in better shape nowadays.
