If you could choose only one to listen to for the rest of your life which one would it be and why?

[Glenn F]

Gilmour, because I like the Floyd better than Queen. Cheers, Glenn

[Mr JinX]

May, cause I like Queen better than Floyd

[HeatherAnnePeel]

Brian May, but I like them both.

Who is your choice?

[washburndean]

David Gilmour.

His solo stuff and Pink Floyd own Queen. No offense to Queen fans, but Gilmour defined experimental rock.

[DaveAronow]

Brian May, but I like them both.

I picked these two guys because I thought that they would be VERY evenly matched in a poll like this, and I am very curious to see what HCEG thinks about them and also why.

[Marc G]

hmmmmmm I'm more of a Gilmour fan..... May is awesome though....

After thinking about it for a moment, Gilmour has some of my alltime favorite solos ever written, even more so than the craploads of cool stuuf that I like from May. And I could even just use only three or four Gilmour solos to make that determination. Solos from songs like Time, and Comfortably numb, are some of the greatest masterpieses ever played on a guitar. May has a TON of awesome signature solos, riffs, tones, etc, but the soulful, mesmerizing playing of Gilmour, does something really deep to my soul that May doesnt seem to get into quite as deeply. HOWEVER, I pick Brian May in the end over Gilmour, because I find myself in the mood to listen to Queen more often than Pink Floyd, although not by much, the tiniest amount actually, and this is why I thought this would make a good poll. Or....... I could have just simply said Brian May, and saved you from all this.:freak:

[leopardstar]

gilmore, for all the reasons you said^^^ except for the end statement

[Puppetyr]

May is great, but he isn't even in the same league as Gimour IMO.

[billythegoat]

Davey boy

[ScottyGibson]

Gilmore, but I really prefer neither.

[GRANKOR]

gotta be Dave, he's a great guitarist and bass player too

[DaveAronow]

Wow. This is more lopsided than I was expecting so far, although, I really should have known better. Gilmour is just about the perfect guitarist, so it would be hard to unseat him. Perhaps I should have put him against Hendrix, or SRV or someone. Oh, well, that will be another poll for another day.

[Fuelish]

Love 'em both,both great guitarists, but I picked Brian May, simply because, whilst Floyd is amazing, amazing stuff, Queen is a hell of a lot more FUN ... They can be heavy, yet they can be whimsical (dag, I miss Freddie) .... Floyd is, well, floyd (...not that there'sanything wrong with that )

While an admirer of May, Gilmour often send chills down my spine.
