Waters was the writer for sure, but Gilmore's solos within the context of a Water's written melody is the shit, its why we are even talking about them. Gimore could solo in a way that other's just didn't even attempt.

that is true, he's quite the soloist but he was impotent without waters.
i have been listening to this band since 1974 as have a lot of my friends,
some for much longer. it is never a debate, roger was floyd.

gilmore is much more *media* friendly. tunes like mother and comfortably
numb appeal to the masses and he plays a mean guitar but roger waters is
a supra genius.

So agreed man..... I just read this, and kinda sad now. I was always into Animals album.... its just..... no words could describe it..... maybe ANGRY. I taught myself that album early on, and still play along.... it teaches patience, and precision.

Hey lestat, we agree on something just kidding man

RIP

I wasn't into the Floyd albums without Waters, that for sure.

BUT, I didn't get totally hook on Floyd until this one 4th of July when I heard Comfortable Numb... it was over for me

physical graffiti. man we had some good music in those days!!!

genre.

I am 31 bro! Thanks for the compliment!!

We did grow up on different music, but I think its a testament to the power of that band that you and I who grew up over a decade apart have some overlap in the bands we enjoy!

And I'm 52. "Meddle" and "Dark Side" were huge when I was in high school, "Wish You Were Here" and "Animals" both came out when I was in college.
