Pink Floyd is a great band. I hate Roger Water’s politics but he wrote a bunch of great songs. nevertheless it’s a better band without him and with David Gilmour leading it. PF is a great artistic success story. I followed them from their early days. They proved that if you stay true to your beliefs and work hard you can be successful - your way.
Marley and Doors were both groundbreaking acts and highly influential. Morrison was a drunken fool and their live shows usually stank but they influenced a lot of bands and helped define the 60s music scene. Stevie Wonder is a great original musician and writer. So this ‘critic’ is full of crap. The only one I might agree with him on is Springstreen who wrote fairly mediocre music - slop for the masses
I think that in a lot of cases, combinations of musicians are far better than those same musicians by them selves. Waters, tempered by Gilmour, Wright, and Mason, was terrific. But I couldn't stand him alone. Another example of this (IMHO) was the combination of Lennon/McCartney, especially when guided by George Martin.
