Both play for bands that don't require a very prolific drummer. A lot of mellow songs in discographies of both bands. Vote for who you think is better.

Haha I'm surprised by your answer actually. Pink Floyd is not exactly known for Mason's drumming, is it? I think Larry is better overall. But to you if you really believe Mason is better.

in terms of who is the better lyricist.....
and we all know who's better

Well........................ Bono did write several poetic gems in the 80s and 90s! But that'll be a tough one I agree.

Mason wins by a mile.

um.. what about Mofo? Please? Miami? Gone?
And other than the title track on A Saucerful Of Secrets, I'm finding it hard to see the highlights of Nick Mason's career.

It would be nice if he would at least use a time signature other than 4/4 a bit more often (if I remember correctly, only 3 U2 songs are not in 4/4) and introduce some variety into his style.

And a way out there mode of the guitar scale.

You haven't really provided any arguments relating to the thread's subject besides bemoaning Larry's last decade of mediocrity.Axver said:
Well done, you missed the point entirely. I have nothing against 4/4. My problem is that Larry just keeps doing the same thing over and over again, album after album, with precious little variation to speak of. His drumming is dull and has been for quite some time. It would be nice if he would actually break out of his extraordinarily narrow mould once in a while. I find his contributions to U2 to be the least worthwhile. I can't think of one thing he's done since God Part II that's really made me sit up and take notice.

My two favorite lyricists...I still have to give the edge to Waters. Nobody writes caustic lyrics quite like good old Roger. Animals is especially true in this regard. I posted something similar in another thread; Bono has many moments of brilliance, but does not carry an extended theme the way that Waters has done so many times.
