@MrKeefrichards Gilmour is the soul. Roger was the brain.

Comfortably Numb... All arguements aside, best freaking song IN THE FREAKING WORLD in my book

[DavelovesRealMusic]

Arguments about which member of Floyd is the "true" gernius are futile..what is more interesting is that 4 of 5 of them were all genius..without knowing it originally (all but Mason who was smart enough to go along for the full ride..knowing what a great thing he was a part of)

@ksvideos Well put!

@DonKael Roger's solo back catalogue has nothing to do with this conversation. It's about who is the creative genius behind 95% of all the Pink Floyd albums recorded and performed since Syd Barrett left the group in the late 60s.

Nothing makes more sense than fact.

@Quinkermarine Thats why so many people are lining up to hear Final Cut, Pros and Cons, KAOS, and Amused right?

Come on now, let's have some common sense.

Going to see him in July, can't wait!!!

@eiffler714 That's right, it's all about him and that's why he still fills huge stadiums around the world, because it's all basically his astounding music. Roger has and still does play with dozens of musicians and there are dozens more waiting for the call. David is a fabulous guitar player and he is great at assisting creative souls like Kate Bush, but interest in his songs is, frankly, not on the radar.

@DRGK9 I mean I guess if its better looking like an older dog than a younger one, then yes

@scubarulz Hate to be a pill but Rick died 4 years ago. Miss him, miss him...

@DarkScythe33398 It was great to see that David did play the O2 Arena gig last year on Roger's current Wall tour. I think when Richard Wright died last year, a lot of the old animosities gave way to a dialogue. It would be incredible to have then tour together again. It would surpass anything todays music could muster, that's for certain.
