Roger Waters is a whiny bitch.

Gates of Dawn > The Wall/any other Waters shit.

And given that Barret is a lyrical imagery genius (something that Waters never was) it takes to the point that he didn't overuse the studio. Rather, he kept it sane and kept the music pure and to its message. I swear, if it weren't for the rest of the damned band Waters would've sucked away all of the jazz influences of Pink Floyd...Mercilessly.

Wow, you're waaay off.

First off, Syd's lyrics were anything but sane. Let's take a looksi, no?
"It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear
That I'm not here.
And I never knew we could be so thick
And I never knew we could be so blue
And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song.
I don't care if the sun don't shine
And I don't care if nothing is mine
And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my loving in the winter. And the sea isn't green
And I love the queen
And what exactly is a dream
And what exactly is a joke."


What imagery? It doesn't make any goddamn sense, and that's the end of it.

Sucked out the jazz influence? Wow, obviously you haven't ever heard anything Roger has done solo. He has fucking trombones backing him up at times... Have you ever heard the Final Cut? He wrote the entire thing... You can't tell me The Gunner's Dream's awesome saxaphone solo wasn't jazz influence, or that Two Suns In the Sunset didn't have jazz influence... What leads you to believe he'd've sucked away jazz influence?

Secondly... You simply cannot attribute the Wall to being Water's soley. You can say he completely wrote the Final Cut, sure... But not the Wall.

Makes sense to me. Hell, has a lot of meaning.

More than any of Roger's bitchery. And no, the "jazz" influences that remained with the band afterward were forced on him by the other members. He carried the sound onto his solo career, realizing that he is worthless and the only thing that will make him money is sticking to his old guns.

From what I've gleaned while reading band bios, and listening to band member interviews.

Roger Waters wanted to shift the band more and more into artificiality. Realizing that this was a bad idea, he decided to not jeopardize his own money-grubbing career by actually making the move to this artificial crap.

Pink Floyd is the best band ever in my opinion. I love all eras, the Syd era, the "golden years era" (from Meddle until Wish You Were Here), Roger's era (i love Animals, The Wall and i am starting to get into The Final Cut as well) and the post Waters era (AMLOR is fine, and Division Bell is awesome).
Pink Floyd is very original and made lots of different albums musically, it is very interesting to listen to all their discography, from PATGOD until TDB.
Plus, some of Roger's solo work is great, and Rick Wright's Broken China is a very sweet listen.
Definetely my favorite band.
