Yet another opportunity to remind people that beginning with Animals, Pink Floyd became "Roger Waters and Special Guests". Taking into account all the responses above, someone needs to do a poll on the subject "When did The Wall become dated?"


Doesn't the Waters era start witn DSOTM as he wrote everything on it?


Wrote everything on it? Yes, he wrote all the lyrics, but a simple perusal of the credits show that Nick Mason conceived "Speak to Me", Richard Wright and Clare Torry are credited for "The Great Gig in the Sky", and that "Any Colour You Like" is a Gilmour/Mason/Wright composition. That's a good 9 minutes of music that Waters performed on, but did not write. I'm not writing this to belittle what Waters did contribute to the album, but to disagree with the view that he was the be-all and end-all to Pink Floyd once Syd Barrett was shown the door.


You are missing Wright's contribution to Us and Them, and the band's contribution to Time.
