Like almost all the extremely successful bands in the history of music, Pink Floyd also had many eras with members and it’s not always easy to identify which member of the group sings each track of their long discography. Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, David Gilmour musicians who weren’t part of the band and even a dog already occupied the lead vocals of Pink Floyd, even if it was just one song.
To organize and make it easier to see who is the lead vocalist in each Pink Floyd track, Rock and Roll Garage produced a complete guide. You can see below who sings each Pink Floyd song.
