@Wax_Ripper@HutsonTj@historyrock_ and even Mason made notable contributions in the early days. Honestly, I truly feel that Gilmour and Wright are underrated. Without them, Pink Floyd’s albums would just be philosophical novels, not music.
@Wax_Ripper@HutsonTj@historyrock_ This comparison makes no sense. Prior to The Final Cut, every album was a collaborative effort by all four band members—it wasn't just a one-man show by Waters. Wright and Gilmour contributed a massive amount of brilliant songwriting and instrumental performance
@Wax_Ripper@HutsonTj@historyrock_ Both The Final Cut and A Momentary Lapse of Reason clearly feel like solo albums by Waters and Gilmour, respectively. In terms of sales, the latter was undeniably the victor. The Division Bell went on to become a massive critical and commercial success as well.
@HutsonTj@historyrock_ He went so far as to kick Wright out of the band, and took Gilmour and Mason to court in an attempt to turn Pink Floyd into his personal property. In fact, the band was never Roger's alone. When working with someone like him, hating him is only natural.
@HutsonTj@historyrock_ Putting politics aside, in daily life, Roger was a man completely devoid of moral principles. He not only mocked his bandmates, but also took the band for himself. He didn't even allow Gilmour and others to participate in the musical creation, monopolizing the songwriting credits
