Although I reckon they would get too bored to hang around in Floyd, if called on, they would have had the adaptability to adjust to Floyd's music and play. It's not necessary they would have been too fill-happy and spoiled the songs. Bruford did play drums sensitively for Fallen Angel, for instance.

lol, I share your sentiment. Sometimes, stretching for the sake of it becomes 'epic'.

interesting, I always thought A Great Day for Freedom and Take It Back are exactly the album's (and PF entire carrier) low points, with Marooned and Coming Back to Life not much better as well. I have to agree about High Hopes though.

I don't agree; A Great Day for Freedom and Take It Back are good tracks, while Marooned and Coming Back to Life are awesome tracks but yes High Hopes is the best of the album. The Best track made by any band after the 70's, imo.

He's more interested in cars.... But it doesn't matter in Floydian music because none of them are virtuosos. In King Crimson, Mr Mason would be fired after a week! |

This is an easy choice for me. Both were very creative at their best, but King Crimson has so many more sides than Pink Floyd, that it's easy for me to say Crimso. Pink Floyd's high points were Echoes (not the A-side of Meddle, though), the entire DSOTM and the A-side of Atom Heart Mother, but apart from that, Floyd are far too inwards looking for my taste. King Crimson has explored the unknown territories of prog in a way few others have.

The Division Bell is a bunch of uninspired pop, and then one of the best PF tracks of all time with High Hopes.

Indeed. And before this albums they did Meddle (which is almost as good), as well as the Live in Pompeii video (which is completley as good as these later albums). And though many surely disagree with me, both post Waters albums were really great too, specially The Division Bell, which I like about as much as the four albums you mentioned. |
 what more would i say?
