The crap that we are dealing with today (socialism, woke culture, freeloaders, welfare state) all emanated from the “enlightened” renaissance period that was the 60s.
It was a magical period but the detritus from that era is toxic.

David Gilmour was the musical soul of Pink Floyd.

So if you’re not interested don’t click. All it really ties into what you’ve just admitted: you’re a troll. Therefore beneath contempt. Bye

Jagger had already answered the question with “Street Fighting Man.”

Love is all you need. But it’s God’s love, not man’s. Human love is a pale shadow of God’s love.

Not really. PF was pretty much Waters, especially from Dark Side on, until he left. He pretty much wrote everything and came up with the concepts, the other three were basically studio musicians.

They had no soul. They were ugly. Unless it was their crazy founder.

No, you’re not. You don’t have to be a fan you have to NOT BE A TROLL.

Take The Wall, remove all the songs that Gilmour co-wrote, and it's not the same. In fact, the leftovers are largely crap.

I'm not saying Roger is talentless. I'm saying he's worse on his own. He needs Gilmour.

Pull quote for the late-gen boomers:
“the children of the revolution were faced with reconciling the fact that loads of lovely songs had, in fact, failed to stop a string of assassinations and other atrocities”

John Kerry still has James Taylor sing “lovely songs” as real diplomacy.
No wonder we’re jaded.

If you haven’t realized the article is itself a troll and about Steely Dan trolling John Lennon.

How about this comment: “ John Lennon was a jerk and I never liked him.”

Love the Beatles before they broke up. After that their solo attempts are unlistenable.

Love the Dan (and Fagan’s solo music) from beginning to the not yet end.

And this juxtaposition:

“she said. “Right after Woodstock, then we went through a decade of basic apathy where my generation sucked its thumb and then just decided to be greedy and pornographic.”
Segue to, “Everyone’s Gone to the Movies” Katy Lied

In fact the whole concept of Katy lied was, well...sex in any way shape or form.

David Gilmour was the musical soul of Pink Floyd.

++++++++++

Waters is a prick. Gilmour is not. Waters wrote great lyrics. Gilmour was the better talent playing music. Waters music on its own is not very appealing and some is quite boring. Neither was really outstanding without the other. If on an island I would have to go with Gilmours guitar before Rogers voice / lyrics. My $0.02
