The two are so totally different, I can't even imagine a merger.

| I would find it difficult too... I don't see them achieving a consistent album. And besides, there's just about nothing I would take out of The Division Bell (it's all great). Amused to Death is a great album too, but there are a few songs I don't like so very much. Sure enough, if Amused to Death had been done as a Pink Floyd album, with Gilmour and Wright, it should have reached the classic Floyd masterpiece status (I particularly think about what Gilmour could have done with the guitar solo on What God Wants part 3; though on the other side, on some parts Jeff Becks guitars are just perfect... I particularly don't see Gilmour doing a better job on it's a Miracle) |

OK, just for fun, here are my favourite tracks from each album, I'll try to put them in a fitting order... just imagine them performed by the classic Pink Floyd line-up:
Cluster One / Marooned Perfect sense 1 & 2 The Bravery of being out of Range A Great Day for Freedom Wearing the Inside Out What God Wants 2 What God Wants 3 It's a Miracle Coming Back to Life Keep Talking Amused to Death High Hopes. Of course, it would loose some consistency both lyrically and musically. But perhaps if they had woked such an album from the beginning to make it more cohesive, it would have been great... and then just a thought, put in a few songs from Broken China too to make it even better (but then it would have needed to be a double album). It would be interesting too to do the same thing with The Wall... put in some of the music created by Gilmour and Wright from their solo albums from the same time and see what could have been if they would have wanted to contribute more (and if Waters had been willing to accept such contributions). |

Oh yes ,for instance david first ,album and wet dream from rick,probably the wall would has been more colourful,but thanks for listing,i like it cos i would start with cluster1 as you, and coming back to life following it's a miracle is a very good idea
