For me, his best album is easily Amused to Death.

Hi,

Agreed ... although I'm not sure I would ignore RADIO KAOS ... as it was too close to home, and in Santa Barbara we could hear KMET at night easily enough .... but what happened was downright evil and malicious and never got punished at all, and it should have been, if the FCC was run by people instead of the same jerkoffs that made the call in LA, and all of it was because they lost a lawsuit to the local bands that required air time ... but the FCC had made a stipulation many years earlier that a new ownership was allowed their own ideas, not what was there previously, and thus, when the massive corporate FM radio rape took place (all of it was bought by many corporate groups), and the music immediately changed to what has been known as "classic rock" for 45 years ... and we still don't care.

(And hope the internet changes all that!) ... not there yet, but so much of the internet is owned by the corporate standards ... that it makes a lot of independent stuff hard to get to.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

ITTLWRW in my view is his best solo effort. I'm not that much of a lyrics listener, but the music works very well for me.

Hi,

The music itself is always really nice ... no question there. However, getting hit over the head with his mouth frying pan gets a bit boring after a while, and at that point I tune it out ... and haven't really bothered with him, since I got a chance to see his version of The Wall, here in POrtland, done in 2-dimentional style, and a terrible design all around for the production, considering how it was originally set in a few cities. This was the cheap version ... and very sad having seen the original.

His wanting to "update it" was bad, and that's when his frying pan started to sound out ... and it hasn't stopped since.

Instead of engaging folks in anger, he should try and help folks vote, in America, but then, he thinks there is no choice here either, and would not waste his time, on something that is actually a lot more meaningful than his frying pan! And his comment about Mrs. Harris, is not nice ... and he obviously is not as on top of it, and knowing what is happening in some places, as he thinks he is ....

While there is a place for anti-war anything, in the end, half of it is not good, and ends up getting more people wanting to go fight, than otherwise. Or it gets the cynical side of things ... when you hear what Maria Betania's song was about ... and then see it shown on Apocaliptyc Now ... it's difficult to see that this is anti-war sentiment ... nope ... it is a kill'em'all NOW! .... which is worse! ... not to mention that in her song, one could easily connect it with Brazilian History and the violent Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch!

Is this the album we really want!?? A gloomy album - even by Roger's maudlin standards - about the plight of child refugees being killed in political turmoil around the world. Ouch

Roger Waters, Sinead O'Connor and The Band in the Mother of all collaborations. Smile

Sinead O’Connor loathed him, really an intense dislike, to the extent that I believe she didn’t show up for the re-recording of the first part of the show after the technical issues which dogged it.

Roger Waters - Give Birth to a Smile

, from the soundtrack album, Music from the Mind & Body (1970), featuring Ron Geesin & the other three members of Pink Floyd on this final song from the album.

...

Hi,

Disgraceful ... that you would ignore the best song in there ... "Our Song" ... making all the others sound silly and shmoozy!

It was "Music from the Body" the mind was somewhere else, probably. It's a soundtrack of a documentary entitled "The Body" that I was lucky enough to see on TV a life ago. I have a vinyl copy.

"Our Song" has nice instruments, but Geesin's piano is better than the others
