I think Îam in love with pink floyd :heart: :D, but who do you think is a better composer:

Roger waters: money, another brick in the wall 1, 2 and 3, hey you etc

or

David gilmour: Sorrow, high hopes, keep talking, comfortably numb etc

They are both pretty amazing in their own rights, but Gilmour is a big reason why Waters stuff sounded so good. Have you heard Rogers version of "Money"????

While Roger Waters was indeed a powerful creative force, he was a very, very poor musician. His solo stuff is pretty bad, and there are accounts of Gilmour having to play Roger Waters' stuff during studio recordings.

This is sort of comparing apples and oranges: Gilmour is by far the better musician, but Waters had a more unique sense of creativity.

His solo stuff is great.

No, not really. Unless you are talking about Gilmour.

Couldn't have said it better myself. If Pink Floyd was to tour tomorrow without new material, I would much rather see it with Nick, Richard and David than to just have Roger.

Roger Waters gives better concerts then David Gilmore & neither of them has made very good solo albums ... by far the best of all was the two of them played together.

Gilmour without a fvcking doubt, Waters sucks as a musician and as a person.

Gilmour is responsible for the soul of PF.
