I really think you missed the boat on this one. In fact, you're standing off the shore, with your feet in the water, wondering why your ankles are cold.
 
I don't think we're listening to the same album, particularly when you reference Gilmour's guitar playing as settling "into a dull niche". The beautiful descending acoustic runs on "Goodby Blue Sky", the innovative loop and delay effects of "Run Like Hell", the raw and biting "Young Lust", not to mention the soaring, cathedralesque lead on "Comfortably Numb", which is regularly voted one of the greatest guitar solos of all time.
 
Nope. We're talking two different albums here. I'm rather appalled you'd mention Styx and Journey in the same breath as Floyd.

The show at the olympic stadium  in Montreal started the slide  Roger took over the band at that  point . The wall momentarely  stopped the slide . 
 
Roger  accelerated the decent when he fired Richard for the final cut .
 
David did a good job and he stop the slide by coming up with a modern Floyd sound  mix in with some old stuff .
 
Richard passing kill Floyd.

I got me some bad news for you, sunshine, Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel and they sent us along as a surrogate band. We're gonna find out where you fans really stand.
What?

Don't look so frightened this is just a passing phase, one of my bad days.

One must take into account the individual. Roger is a very competitive driven man whereas Wright is not. Wright is not a rocker - he hardly makes an appearance on much of More for instance - they're a power trio on the Nile Song. But Up The Khyber and Quicksilver are very much his thing.
...
 
I never thought that Roger was competitive, or driven that way. I just felt that he had an opinion that he felt was important and worth the mention, and I doubt that many of us would disagree. We still listen to the stuff, although not enough folks have heard "Amused to Death" ... to get an even better idea. That album is as good as The Wall in my book, but because it is not a "concept" like "The Wall", it is not as appreciated. Actually it is a concept album, but the story is not as clear, as it was in Radio Kaos, for example ... radio waste! Yeah!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I'm not keen on 'The Wall' but I really don't like 'The final cut',  'Momentary lapse' is OK and I like 'Division bell'. So for me the wall is where things start to go wrong......
