David can sing and play guitar but he's a ####ty song writer.

Gilmour and Waters really were made for each other, except of course for the fact they don't get along.

One of my fave PF albums is The Final Cut which is basically a Waters solo album, but it is very heavy on message and lyrics but less focused musically.

On the other hand The Division Bell, which is basically a Gilmour solo, is heavy on guitar solos and sound effects and light on depth and in the lyrical department.


Oh and the Wall isn't that great. I love the message, the movie, the legacy but in terms of PF albums I'd go DSOTM, Animals, Meddle, The Final Cut, then the Wall then Obscured by Clouds.

The Wall is way too long and has too much filler. Not the best PF work. What makes The Wall so great is the themes it portrays. Alienation, anger, depression, fame, the album art, the presentation etc.

No Wish you were Here in that list? great album
