They have been my absolute favorite ever since hearing the wall in the early 80s. It was kinda a shame that so much of their music was left out of radio and only a handful of songs really were ever focused on... I don't know too many people that heard one of them, bought an album, and didn't end up liking the whole thing... wanting more. Not too many bands have invoked this over time... Hit and run is way more common. They stood the test of time, even if there was a bit of turmoil under the hood. Having been in a band myself, that went no further than local, I can attest the "creative differences" concept is not a force that can be ignored. If the people creating the music are not on the same page for the most part (there will *always* be minor differences)... the music will reflect this. Hence the pingpong in the sound from them in the 70s-80s. The Wall is an excellent wrapped up all in one example. You can clearly hear the two distinct styles that each one of them wants, and while it worked within the context of the turmoil in the story, they definitely "clash". If you can't agree, you can't agree, and someone has to go. In this case, it was Waters. Is what it is indeed. It can't be forced. But they remain my favorite ever, regardless of configuration other than the earliest stuff. Syd didn't do much for me, I mean I "get it", but I'm less "psychedelic" (or political, in the case of Waters) and more "philosophical". Gilmour/Wright for the win.

I'm on the side of Pink Floyd. It's about the music, not about personal vendettas. I've read most stories about the Gilmour/Waters feud and can in most part agree with both of them. This indicates that the disagreement should have been settled amicably instead of by court ruling. But lawsuits is what happens when all of a sudden there's money and so-called "rights" involved. Friendship and reason go out the window once lawyers have taken over and you're quickley on a path of no return. That's how we ended-up where we are. Illusions have been shattered, friendships broken and egos bruised. But the music remains.

Except Gilmour’s Pink Floyd is just bad. Waters solo may not be Dark Side of the Moon redux (unless is very consciously is), but its quality music if you ignore the first side of Radio KAOS. As Robert Christgau said, David Gilmour is the nice guy, but Roger Waters is the songwriter. And, maybe it’s me, but Gilmour comes off as incredibly snobby when he’s issuing political statements. I don’t agree with his politics much-he’s pretty much “I support the current thing”-but every pronouncement he has on the topic is snobby.

My older brother would drive all of us to school and Another Brick in the Wall would be blasting on the radio. Great memories and amazing band. All of them.

I think nick Mason summed up the problem perfectly “Roger doesn’t respect David”. Roger sued them and was convinced that it wasn’t pink floyd without him. The truth is it’s the 4 of them- the collective. The music and the lyrics are equally as important for pink floyd. I get that it must be hard to see your band go on without him but it was still pink floyd without Syd and therefore it’s still pink floyd without Roger- a different pink floyd but it’s still pink floyd.

The greatest Album of all time DSOTM was created when the 4 were 1. Enough said.

Roger Waters was otherworldly, but only when he had the magic of David Gilmour to turn his ideas into reality.

Waters lost whether you or he liked it or not. The other members continued the band and made a success of it when Waters thought he was the irreplaceable member of the band. He was a key player but not as influential as he thought. As a quartet, may be a little harsh but only Mason was replaceable. Pink Floyd would never have been the global force without Waters, Gilmour or Wright.

Terrific video. In terms of who was responsible for Pink Floyd's success, I simply adhere to the KISS philosophy. Waters was the main lyricist and conceptual artist. Gilmour was a superior vocalist, one of the greatest guitarists in rock history and along with Wright, the band's melodic heart and soul. Mason was an underrated drummer and was the glue that kept the band from breaking apart in the mid to late 70's. In terms of the Gilmour/Waters feud, I could care less about their ongoing verbal spats, but I could listen to Gilmour's post-Waters Pink Floyd and solo discography all day long. Water's 4 solo albums are a mixed bag and sans a few songs that featured Jeff Beck on guitar, these 4 records are devoid of melody and Water's vocals are underwhelming. Gilmour is a fully formed musician (e.g., lead guitar, slide guitar, bass guitar, drums, saxophone) who places emphasis on melody and sweeping sonic landscapes. The record buying public seems to agree with my musical taste for A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON and THE DIVISION BELL both sold over 10 million copies worldwide, and Gilmour's 4 solo albums sold more copies than Water's 4 solo albums.

The different vocals in Comfortably Numb and Mother are two examples that it only works with the two together. I find David’s Floyd altogether unremarkable. Record sales don’t tell the true story.

Man ,life is too short for these kind of things! Both are gifted musicians. When I played full time in the 80s,we didn't always agree with the group leader,but he once said, " No musician's talent diminishes anothers."

Waters' sublime dark lyrics and entire Orwellian mindscapes leave an indelible mark on your soul. Gilmour's chill and competent vocals, together with his haunting guitar solos complete the Floyd sound and aura. Like Lennon and Macartney, hearing the music they made solo, compared to their collaborative genius, it's clear the Floyd, as with the Beatles, were greater than the sum of their parts. I take comfort though, in knowing that, if they'd stayed together, being less hungry (and stoned) as they aged, it's doubtful that they would ever have matched the beauty of those earlier albums. No-one ever does. Look at U2 or The Stones. Sometimes it's better to leave the audience wanting more.... Thanks Pink Floyd. You influenced my entire life. 🌚

But he has got worse since

In the late 60s, there was a flowing of musical creativity. We are still living in its shadow. I wish the ones who made it could have stayed together. Cream reunited, Syd with Pink Floyd once again and, oh yes, The Beatles forever.

One of the biggest disconnects that I've noticed: Roger Waters seems to believe that lyricism and thematic concepts matter above all else when it comes to crafting music. And that's fine, a lot of music fans/listeners feel that way as well. But not everyone shares that same sentiment. For some listeners (including myself), the musicality is the more powerful force (chords, melodies, harmonies, instrumentation, etc.) Waters views musicians as more or less interchangeable and because of this, I suspect he has a difficult time recognizing the unique musical contributions of his bandmates that helped make Pink Floyd a household name. He's mostly only able to recognize his own contributions of lyricism because it's his primary wheelhouse/ field of expertise (That and a bit of ego as well lol).

For me, The Dark Side of the Moon, was undoubtedly the best of all albums Pink Floyd recorded as a group. I saw The Wall performed live at Earl's Court & got totally blown away by the musical & visual brilliance ..... It was the first live concert I ever went to & , for me, laid down the criteria & standard of how concerts should be - I have not really been impressed by many since. Even though The Wall concert was crafted back in 1980, 40+ years ago, without the stage tech that is available in the present day, it was for me an event that stood out in my youth & will forever remember. Artists can be very difficult personalities to comprehend or to get along with, I've crossed paths with more than a few in my life. As for Pink Floyd it was unfortunate that differences between them couldn't be reconciled & the magic created together as a group was no more.

Division Bell?

Pink Floyd is the soundscape created by Gilmour and Wright. Without that sound, there is no Pink Floyd. Their early stuff before DSOTM is also incredible. Proof that Water's lyrics were not critical to Pink Floyd. That's why the Division Bell is a Pink Floyd album whereas The Final Cut was really a Waters solo album.

Roger’s creativity was of the charts. Gillmore was a great creative musician. They were both pluses in what influenced various artists

They arent whole without each other. As much as they may quarrel that's just the truth

Just personality-wise, it’s much easier to “side” with Dave. Also, if Pink Floyd could carry on without the genius of Syd, then Roger should have realized it could carry on without him. Having said that, I personally find post-Roger Waters Floyd to be incredibly boring. For Pink Floyd to work, it needed Roger, Dave, and Richard all working together.

Plus, I prefer Gilmour's solo albums over Roger's and I think "Momentary Lapse" and "Division Bell" are much better than "The Final Cut". Just my two cents.

One sad story behind this long-term conflict between Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour is Richard Wright‘s death of cancer. Being the most humble, sensitive and loyal member of the band, Rick was literally torn apart between what were both friends.

@@rft2001 Stop...will you! I know Rick's X-wife, Frank Wright. She divorced him because he arrived back to the Greek Island they lived on with a groupie GF on his boat... and she was pregnant. He actually showed Franka the woman's pregnant stomach. Franka had just suffered her 4th miscarriage. In 1995 his new groupie-wife gave birth to their son, Ben- the year after Frank divorced him- 1994; so her story makes sense. However, Franka still lives in Wright's shadow for the sake of getting attention from PF fans. She's certainly not the brightest 🔆 bulb 💡 in the room... and doesn't have a nickel to her name. She received next to nothing in the divorce, and when she started mentioning Rick's drug habits, Gilmour became INFURIATED! He didn't want drugs being associated with the PF name. AND Wright was fired from the group (with Gilmour's appoval) during "The Wall" recordings. Bob Ezrin ( the producer), allegedly told Waters, he didn't want Wright in the studio during the sessions anymore, as he was just sitting there all wasted on drugs.. So, when Wright toured with PF he toured as a hired musician... not a member of the band. "Bobbing for 🍏 apples?" 😂 Wright was bisexual according to "you know who." Probably why he liked Greece so much. AND I wouldn't put the name, "HARRY CHAPIN " in the same sentence with the man. HAPPY CHAPIN was the salt of the Earth- the other guy wasn't. REMEMBER, all of the PF members came from upper middle class families and the parents who were WELL EDUCATED... including, "SYD." BUT "SYD" was the humble one. MASON came from a millionaire communist family. ALL members were all PRETENTIOUS NARCISSISTS except SYD).

They just were, and I'm really happy about that.

I would, as a child, sit outside All Saint's church hall, with a thermos in the snow, listening to Floyd rehearse before they released an album. They went on to release vinyl and become house band at the UFO. Gilmour wasn't there and they were incredible. After Gilmour joined the band I saw them several times and they were incredible.

Conflict sometimes comes from greatness

1:00 Waters (far left) He was the guy always hanging out in the library!

These are two personality types that are toxic together. We are all extremely fortunate that they were able to fruitfully collaborate for as long as they did. The main reason they can't fully reconcile is because their differing personality types are motivated by different things, and they're types that finds reconciliation difficult. Waters is the personality type that is motivated by power. The upside is that people of his kind get a lot of stuff done. The downside is that others are battered and bruised along the way. Gilmour is the altruistic, do-gooder type that believes in giving more consideration to others. His decision-making is based more on principle. If one violates that principle, there will be a negative response, undertaken in a more passive-aggressive way. In addition, they're less inclined to forget such wrongs and are more apt to have lingering hurt. Waters' type is less apt to hold on to these feelings long-term, but people like him are more apt to lash out and demand respect. The more aloof Gilmour is inclined to respond with the attitude of, 'if you're going to be a jerk and not behave fairly, I'm not going to bother with you at all.' These are the least compatible personality types together, and they're equally stubborn. Wright and Mason are both personality types that are motivated by peace, and just want to get along. There are a lot of successful relationships and marriages wherein Waters' type (motivated by power) and the motivated-by-peace types complement each other well (think of the infamous tape of Paul McCartney getting on a docile George Harrison's case -- Harrison immediately concedes just to keep the peace). This is why the conflict has always been mainly between Waters and Gilmour, who also happen to be the most creative forces in the band. It's somewhat of a miracle that Pink Floyd was able to accomplish all that they did. The thing about the David Gilmour type of personality is that they will withstand humiliation for years because they always want to give fairness the benefit of the doubt, but there will at last come a point where they will finally set up firm boundaries against someone as insufferable as Roger Waters. And once they're done with such people, they're done. Consider these two divorced, without possibility of reconciliation.

Reading all the comments here... I've been on Roger side and I've been on David's side (the main influence on my own playing) and now, at 64, I realise that your genes, your childhood, the dynamic of the time... and about a thousand other factors MAKE who you are in later life. Many of the defences picked up in childhood are pre-verbal - so it's something you do irrationally. Roger had a strong sense of his purpose - and I think David had the backup of the others... and that's their story. But I will NEVER forget my introduction to Wish You Were Here. An indeterminable organ pad making the perfect backdrop for that guitar tone that made them world famous... Pink Floyd was for me, a life changing event. Lol, As was Chick Corea - after hearing the Romantic Warrior. MUSICmagic - undefinable.

I'm on the side of creativity... because they separated I got to listen to great albums like Amused to Death, and Pros and Con of Hitchhiking from Roger and David gave me Pulse, and Division Bell. David went on to collaborate with other great artist outside of Pink Floyd to give us truly special music from Warren Zevon, Kate Bush, David Bowie to name just a few. Roger worked with Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton who added their creativity to his albums. Sometimes we need to get our emotional juices flowing (anger, spit) to create something wonderful and unexpected. Looking back for them there may bee regrets, I only se my appreciation. Thank you David and Roger!

There Personalities would clash again and again, Gilmour would never allow Roger to control the band like he did and Roger wouldn't like it one bit. I'm just glad they managed to produce the music they did!!

Polly f**ked it all up even before that tweet. But it is true that the tweet exposed David's cowardice as never before and now the hole is too deep for him to crawl out of. And David's excellent guitar work comes not from his mind (he's an intellectual mediocrity at best) but from his heart and his fingers above all.

Momentary Lapse of Reason and This Is NOT a Drill Tour...2 fukin amazing shows!😎🍄

I take no sides. I just look back to productions like "Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii" which remind me how great they were together at one time. And their music lives on regardless of how they get along today.

why do we still need to discuss this?

Pink Floyd needed every member to be Pink Floyd. I'd like to see just some humbleness and one more album

The Dark side of Roger's ego.
