I think Richard..I mean Roger (he looks more and more like Richard Gere) should stop playing music and go hunt foxes instead. And maybe he can decorate the WALLs of his Louis XVI mansion with trophies and tell us even more about his grandfather, father and his father's sister and the Britain they died for. I think he should make a record of him reading his father's diary (which his father's sister gave him) that is full of anecdotes about fox hunting and brave British countryside men!!!

@MrCharlsie79 You need to check you credits on DSOTM as Waters did not write every song. He is listed as the only writter on: Money, Brain Damage & Eclipse. However, Any Colour You Like is Gilmour, Mason & Wright, & Speak To Me is Mason. The other songs are lyrics by Waters Music by Wright & Gilmour. DSOFM is very much a group work, definitely acknowldged by the group as largely influenced by Waters but by no means is the album entirely his writting.

Waters writing and Davids Arrangements "IS" Genius. No one can dispute that.

@MrCharlsie79 ye who are they to criticize Roger waters, The wall is the greatest Genius work of his, If your a Hi-FI enthusiast like myself, you would know why i prefer The Wall  ;)

And NOTE this, the Wall is the best Recording ever recorded, i have never heard a better Studio work, seriusly listen to the guitar / bass / drums / voices, even tho i also own the 24 bit SA-CD Version of DSOTM, it dossnt help im sorry ..

rob hasn't posted my comment. It's called the first amendment, judicial slowdown douchebags.intellectual property law~how quaint. how much did my taxes go to this party that i wasn't invited to? did you pay for this crap? it really stinks. go fuck yourself. Age group is Gen X. Now did young people realize that MY taxpayer money went to their cheap lobster mold? Richard Wright was in pink floyd. any others are meaningless. Engorge

@MrCharlsie79 : Actually that was what the fight was all about. Roger didn't write every song on those two albums. He wrote the Lyrics on most if not all of the songs. Comfortably Numb was claimed and won by David. The problem was that the whole band, not the least Richard Wright, had enormous impact on the MUSIC of the songs. The prick part came in because Roger claimed exclusive rights to all the songs and it just wasn't true. Anyway, it's a shame that Pink Floyd ended too early. Great synergy

@MrCharlsie79 , yeaaa...... Richard Wright wrote one of the songs.... Mason did the drums (used his skill to find what fitted best)..... Gilmour did the solos, and im prety sure they all participated in making the album....
