PINK FLOYD never jumped the shark.
But didn't Led Zep have some fun with a shark and a groupie once?  |

I dont think PF 'jumped the shark'. "The Final Cut" was an irritating blip in what until then had been some amazing pieces of work. IMO Roger Waters departure was inevitable - I mean, how much more depressed can one get and write music to compliment that mood?? The following albums after TFC were great with some very memorable standout tracks. I, like many others, am fond of "The Division Bell" and "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" . The PF sound has been consistant since David Gilmour joined and did not suffer in the absence of RW who, in my opinion, is highly overrated as the driving force behind PF. |

Floyd has always released at least pretty good material, and for that, I believe they never jumped the shark. I love everything pre-The Wall, but when The Wall came around, I thought they were heading toward going downhill. I still liked The Wall though- but become concerned. I'll forgive them on The Final Cut because Waters decided to make a solo album under Pink Floyd.

Never. But between the three eras syd-rog-dave I could see some different opinions
