I just watched the Berlin Wall concert DVD with Roger Waters and guests.
Wouldn't it have been lovely if any members of Queen took part in that production? It's a shame Freddie was seriously ill at the time. If he was ever feeling fine then, he probably could have taken part in some of the Wall songs.

As much as I like Queen, I always go back to Pink Floyd. Brian May and David Gilmour are both great guitarists. Nick Mason and Roger Taylor are the drummers whom get least recognition. John Deacon I compared to Rick Wright, the member of the band that is highly underrated. Freddie was like Syd Barrett then Roger Waters. Roger, like Freddie, was a fellow Virgo but Roger unlike Freddie became an egomaniacal tyrant whom threw people out of PF if they became lazy in his view.
As good as Syd was, he's got nothin' on Freddie. Floyd does kick ass, though.
It actually went back to Animals. Roger started shutting Rick Wright out of Pink Floyd hence why Rick did his solo album Wet Dream in 1978 and David Gilmour was shut out of Animals save Dogs and put out a solo effort of his own in 1978.
Didn't he also have an uncredited hand in writing 'Sheep'?
The song was originally called Raving and Drooling back in 1974 before Roger re-worked the lyrics to complete the Animal trilogy for Animals.

Yep. David Claims to write 70% of the music on Sheep. But it is not the only ting. ABITWpt2,Hey You, Is there anybody out there and other seems to have other songwriters that just Roger(David, producer Bob Ezrin,etc..)!
Another Brick in the Wall(pt. 2)'s disco beat was because of Bob Ezrin and Ezrin suggested the band experiment with a disco drum beat. Goodbye Blue Sky and Hey You's vocal arrangements were done by Gilmour.
I don`t think there`s any duet in the world that can sound more beautiful than the ones Gilmour and Wright did. Not even Paul & Art. Hats off to them both. Btw Roger sang marvellously as well imo.
