Why did Roger Waters never get beyond The Wall?

Also after the Wall in terms of Floyd there was The Final Cut

Roger Waters - Radio KAOS - Tide Is Turning  is seriously good tho'

Now, even though I do find Wet Dream an enjoyable album, indeed if Wright had offered the music for Floyd, and it was used in The Wall, this album might have ended up being a really wonderful record... for I do feel that it lacks something... and that something is exactly more Wright (and even some more Gilmour).   IMO The Wall lacks nothing :-)

Everyone thinks problems between Roger Waters and David Gilmour surfaced around 'The Wall.' In truth, friction already existed during the run-up to 1969's 'Ummagumma.' Each member had been tasked with constructing a solo contribution. When Gilmour asked Waters for some lyrical help, his response was a simple "no."
hahahaha!!!  Waters is very naughty lol

No one in their serious mind can believe that Gilmour's new album is better than anything Waters made after he left PF, seriously

Nothing wrong with About Face as far as I'm concerned : a good record from a great guitarist. What were you expecting, a Floyd record?
