I think he meant Waters-led Floyd and not Water-less Floyd!

Phew, for a minute there you were cruising for a bruising.
I agree with Zooters, though, they're all fantastic at what they do best. Waters as a singer and songwriter (maybe just a little as a bassist), Gilmour as a guitarist, Wright as a keyboardist, and Mason as a pie crust connoisseur. Barrett was also loveable in a rather crazy way (come on, who else could write songs like The Gnome and Bike?)

Page and Plant hated that style of music.

Personal taste is quite the interesting thing.

I tolerate Post-1985/Gilmour Pink Floyd
GibsonGirl said:
Bravo, that's a hell of a lot more than I can do for that era.
LemonMacPhisto said:
what don't you like about it?
GibsonGirl said:
Just about everything. A Momentary Lapse Of Reason makes me want to cry, I hate it that much. I thought The Division Bell was okay though. Amongst the filler, there's some good stuff there. Poles Apart, Marooned, Take It Back and High Hopes.
LemonMacPhisto said:
the thing that bothered me the most about The Division Bell was that I read that David Gilmour brought in other people to help him write stuff
and AMLOR sounds very '80s whereas their pre-85 stuff is timeless
LemonMacPhisto said:I've never heard any of Waters' solo stuff, is it really good or just there?
GibsonGirl said:
It's okay, nothing spectacular. His best vocal performances are in The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking. His voice kind of deteriorated after that. From a lyrical perspective, Amused To Death is probably my favourite, just for the three parts of What God Wants and the title track. I don't really care for the rest of the album. Pros And Cons... is also a pretty good album. Musically, it's an extension of The Final Cut. In fact, there's a section in the song Go Fishing ( I love that song ) that has the exact same riff as The Fletcher Memorial Home. And Eric Clapton plays some very drool-worthy guitar throughout the whole album.
So anyway, I'd recommend The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking (especially if you like the concept albums of the late 70s / early 80s) and Amused To Death. Radio KAOS...eh, it's kind of take it or leave it.
There's a version on their recent rarities box set. It's instrumental, though. There's also a run-through of "Moby Dick" elsewhere on the set.Zootlesque said:Now, THAT I want to hear! Got file?Nirvana did an awesome cover of Zep's Hearbreaker

If that's the case, I may have to stick his head down a toilet and flush it a few times to get rid of the wax between his ears.
EDIT: Nah, he's got to be talking about liking Waters-less Floyd less, not Waters-led Floyd less. He said he likes "every phase" except for...etc. Gilmour-led Floyd was only one phase.
Hawkfire said:
All the music was written by Gilmour or Gilmour & Wright, and the lyrics were entirely by Gilmour with then-girlfriend, now wife Polly Samson (who is a writer). The only non Gilmour-Samson lyric is Rick Wright's tune Wearing the Inside Out, co-written with Anthony Moore who also collaborated on A Momentary Lapse of Reason. So to suggest that Gilmour "brought in" a number of outside people to help with Division Bell is erroneous, again, the core trio wrote and played all the music and Gilmour and his wife collaborated on virtually all the lyrics.
