Gilmour is the best guitarist suited for Roger's stuff.
Beck did quite a good job too.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

It's one of those albums where the emotion is tangible. I get that people don't like Waters but man...

The Final Cut in this contexy, 

but I prefer Amused to Death, a great album.

The Final Cut (by a mile) which was essentially the conclusion of themes explored on The Wall (and to an extent was leftovers from that). To this day I still have no clue as to what Pros & Cons is about it, and I've listened to it enough times.
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

The Final Cut. A depressing album that kind of fits the mood of the present time. It appears from now on incompetence is a positive attribute.

TFC

That one makes sense. 
I'm not sure sure about P&C

I prefer both to Gilmour's solo projects of About Face and AMLOR

It's just annoying. Or maybe it's just my memory. I haven't played Pros and Cons in ages. 


Rogerism was in the air back then, but neighbors never gave a sh*t about it!

The Final Cut i guess. Smile

Ditto, but TFC will always be the more relevant and moving album for me.
