It's actually my favorite Floyd album.

It was, erm, let’s say *not* gilmour’s favorite Floyd album, but MAN, the guitar on “Fletcher Memorial Home” is so freaking good.

It was in the discount bin when I was a kid (cassette, natch) and I'm so glad I bought it. Sold horribly, just absolutely shitkicked by the critic at Rolling Stone and totally Roger Waters driving the rest of the band to hate him with his self indulgence, but I love it.

It’s really Waters’ work alone and I can see why the rest of the band was fed up with him over it, but I love it so much I have to forgive him. Such a polarizing figure. But Floyd without him never felt like Floyd.

100% Yeah, he’s a prick, but he’s the prick who pretty much IS Pink Floyd.

I don't mind post Rogers Pink Floyd. Momentary Lapse of Reason is a really good album and releasing Delicate Sound of Thunder after punting Rogers really let the fans know they're just as good without him. I haven't listened to too much of their more recent work but I don't listen to much anymore.

He’s a prick but he’s our prick

He definitely had some grief and anger issues that he hadn't quite exorcised with The Wall and considering everything else he had given us, I'm totally okay with letting him continue his therapy in songwriting.
