Your saying 'The Final Cut' is a Roger Waters Solo?

Well maybe but it does say Pink Floyd on the cover...

If you disagree we will call Peter Hammill 'Foolsmate' a Van Der Graaf Generator album then.

Peter Hammill wote,VDGG played,amongs others.

Roger Waters Wrote,nearly all Floyd played amongs others.

Rick wright you chick

Steve Hackett's Voyage Of The Acolyte.

I really like Peter Gabriel's Ovo album as well.

Although he's not prog, Rod Stewart created a great trilogy while still with The Faces.

Gasoline alley

Every picture tells a story

Never a dull moment.

He combined Rock N' Roll, R&B, Soul and Country to make a truly amazing "stew". Crashing drums, reverberating guitars, violins, stand up piano and even accordions. It's a shame he lost his way afterwards.

Hopefully I won't be slated - with it not being prog and all - but I really think that Peter Gabriel's Us is a superb album.

I tend to feel that most of the time when a member of a band goes off on their own they try to create music which is the same as that of the band they came from, and most of the time it's nowhere near as good as what came before it. PG's one of the few solo artists who's superb on his own two feet.
It's only knock and knowall, but I like it...

I'd go with Wakeman's Six Wives or Myths & Legends.

I personally like Jon Anderson's Olias Of Sunhillow; it's pretty trippy. I also find it interesting he played all the instruments on it and pretty much locked himself in his garage to finish it.

I was thinking (about thinking (about thinking)) about which album is the best made by deserters from famous groups such as GENESIS, YES, PF or so. Should I tell one I would voice for PETER GABRIEL IV. Other candidates, in my opinion, are DAVID GILMOUR's 2 stuffs which I perhaps like more than PF, Robert Plant (they both actually were not deserters; RP being the bereaved) and some of his albums (eg. Principle of moment is really great), some FISH's album like Vigil, or Field of crows. Chris Squire with his Fish out of water is also a big fish but he did it in parallel within the group as well as Hammill has done all his journeys. So which one?
...and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make...
