IMO Amused to Death is the best solo album by any member of Floyd, On an Island... not really, at some point after track 04 it becomes a snoozefest

Absolutely no contest. Amused To Death is a work of genius, whereas On An Island is merely a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

| I have to go with Amused To Death on this one - I thunk it is Roger's best solo album. I don't think On an Island is David's best, I think it's pretty good though. |

| I'm surprised On an Island is winning this. I myself like Amused to Death better, but I do find On an Island a very pleasant listening; however I like much better the live versions of that album. |

Both good albums, the best of their solo output, I guess, as long as I don't include some live DVD's.
Still I don't have to think to decide which one does it for me: Amused to Death wins with about 1 star difference. -------------

| Amused 100%. It not mean "On an Island" is a bad album or I hate that. I think "On an..." isn't a SOLID album. Dave want to show his power in this album but he lost his form. Amused is a best Waters album. Any moments of this album have a reason (IMO). |
