It pisses me off when pro-Waters Pink Floyd fans rant too much about Dave Gilmour, like if he was the one to blame for them splitting.
Besides, it was Roger Waters who wanted to break up the band before Dave Gilmour and the other guys told him that there was no reason to break it off. Then Roger Waters wanted to legally keep the 'Pink Floyd' name to himself, which he eventually lost in a court battle.
I have to admit that Roger Waters is an extremly talented songwriter, but his arrogant and egoistical attitude just pisses me off.
I still think that 'A Momentary Lapse Of Reason', and 'The Division Bell' are great albums. Not as good as anything done from 'Dark Side' to 'The Wall', but still superb.

I think I'm the only Pink Floyd fan who adores The Final Cut. But I agree with Waters' arrogant attitude, which apparently has softened a bit in later years. I find it tough to decide which is better: Floyd's The Division Bell or Waters' Amused To Death.
I think 'The Final Cut' is a good album, but sounds a lot more like a Roger Waters solo effort than 'The Wall' itself.
I don't think Roger Waters was a bad guy, but he was a control freak... He said that they were REALLY a band during DSOTM, but that The Wall was nearly all his, you know? I don't think he was being cocky, in fact I'm sure he was right... the band gradually deteriorated is all. It happens to the best of bands, Styx being another example.. when one guy controls every thing, they're not really a band anymore.
That's why I love Queen so much, lol!

I'm not a particularly big Pink Floyd fan, but that song is probably my favourite of their's.
Apart from the bassline in "One of These Days", obviously...
