Question Hi,
I'm Eric ad I would like to know
who sings lead in Pink Floyd and
who sings in: Time, Money, Hey You,
Echoes, Mother and Pig on The Wing?
Answer Answering the question "Who is the lead singer of Pink Floyd?" is one that borderlines on impossible. There have been three main front men for the band - Syd Barrett in the beginning, Roger Waters from the 70s through mid 80s and then David Gilmour from around 87-today. However, Waters, Gilmour, Rick Wright, Nick Mason and Barrett (when he was with the band) all sort of take turns on lead vocals.
Barrett handled the bulk of the vocals in the early goings. Once he left and Gilmour took over lead guitar, it was primarily a mixture of Gilmour and Waters on lead (Wright and Mason have their share, though).
As for the songs you asked about in particularly, here goes:
Time: Gilmour
Money: Gilmour
Hey You: Waters
Echoes: Gilmour/Wright
Mother: Waters
Pigs on the Wing: Waters
