ScottBailey As mellifluous as much of the music is, it ain’t Floyd without Waters. No bite and Gilmour’s lyrics are trite

alistair Guy Pratt has been a more than adequate replacement when on tour. But I’m definitely on the side of “original lineup” arguements, with exception (I think/I’m still undecided/it’s complicated..) of Van Halen
ScottBailey oh I have that. I even bought it new when it came out! I had just discovered them when it came out in 1994.
The Pulse-version of The Great Gig in the Sky beats the album-version IMO, even if Dark Side of the Moon is my favorite album of theirs.
ScottBailey Guy Pratt is undoubtedly a competent musician as witnessed on Pulse but without Waters, they ain’t Floyd. Although they will never admit it, Roger and Dave needed each other
Dark side of the moon, wish you were here are both brilliant albums but my fav album is Animals. I hated it for years then I finally got it in my 30’s.
Plus, when Pink Floyd did that one off gig in Hyde Park, it might as well have been called Pink Floyd & Roger Waters. Think he’d have been happy with a spotlight on him all night and a big ass sign behind saying “LOOK AT ME!”
ScottBailey I get that but he did write most of it Money was particularly special that night. Triumphant reunion nevertheless
Even though they are my favourite band I didn’t really like the material they made with Syd Barrett.
alistair and he’s not short of a penny because of it, so paying dues where deserved. But given the choice of have to watch his smug, arrogant boat on stage prentending to care about the band, or watching Guy Pratt in substitute and delivering an even better show because of, I know what I’d choose to see 10/10
