Also after the Wall in terms of Floyd there was The Final Cut

Thank you so much for posting this - totally new to me, Dave Gilmour playing one of my favourite songs by Syd! A nice tribute at the time to Syd I think. |

Roger Waters actually told us why he never got beyond the Wall:
The wall was too high as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free And the worms ate into his brain. |

Perhaps Roger got too occupied watching this TV show?
Just kidding. Had album been done by Floyd, it may have well been their best.

I currently use Amused to Death as a drink coaster - it's that good! |

I wouldn't give a veredict until I listen to the whole of it. I certainly don't expect it to be better than Amused to Death... but the two 80's albums... who knows? Amused to Death is certainly the best solo album by any Floyd member... only Wright would get close with Broken China. Songwise, I think Gilmour released some really wonderful songs, though. |

Indeed, there's no question about that. They both needed each other. And even if Roger apreciated his freedom to write just what he wanted without someone else in the band second-guessing him... I think he really needed someone second-guessing him. And the rest of Floyd needed the extra song-writing genius of Waters, and even more so the lyrics and concepts from him. |

One of the better ones in the "prog galaxy", anyway... and certainly the most articulate with Ian Anderson.

Go on! Make that poll! I've no idea who's the most hated man in Prog. You'd have to have a few candidates with a case for and against each one of them. I don't hate Rog, but then I don't hate Phil Collins for so called "Ruining Genesis" either.
