I'm actually not much of a fan of post-Animals Pink Floyd :) I mean I can appreciate some of their later stuff ... but it doesn't really kick my ass like their earlier stuff does.

Nope, you're not.

I very much like post-Waters Floyd. Yes the two albums are strongly orientated towards Gilmour's guitar and solos. Roger's egdge misses at some points. But both TDV and AMLOR are better than TFC, imo. As somebody already said - the music, melody, are as important, if not very much more important, than the lyrics. Just writing some good poetry over a tune doesn't do the trick.

hey man, we're all allowed to like whichever side of pink floyd we like aren't we?

for me it goes
1. DSOTM
2. Meddle
3. WYWH
4. Obscured by Clouds
5. The Wall
6. Division Bell

because rick and david are where i'm biased. to me i can't listen through one whole final cut song because it's just floyd without rick and that ain't right. floyd without roger is fine because there wasn't a lot of musicality lost, and that's where floyd speaks to me.

I happen to love post-Waters Floyd. It shows what happens when you take the music in the other direction. Roger went too far lyrically, some would say David went too far musically but to me.....the music is what moves me before the words do.

Personally I wouldn't care if I ever heard AMOLR again, except for Sorrow, if only to remind me how killer the solo is, especially the Knebworth version.


As for the Division Bell, Marooned is the only one I'd save. It seems to hearken back to the good old pre DSOTM days for me.

For the longest time, I disliked any song off either of their final 2 albums, eventually I grew to liking them. I am not too sure what made me do that, but I do agree with a majority of these postings - Pink Floyd was better with Waters.

On The Run Like Hell:The Dark Side Of The Wall

the revision hell and the momentary lapse of content plus the delicate sound of cash registers.......not much to sink your teeth into ........ bar the two track s azimuth mentioned....
Fat Dave without Waters has nothing to sing about . BUT radio kaos is ludicrously contrived and needed someone to make it more musical.

It doesn't look like it.

I personally do like AMLOR, and TDB even moreso. The Divison Bell in particular is a wonderful balance of lyrics and music sadly missing since WYWH. I love Animals.....but this is also a departure from their previous work. Sans 3 or 4 songs, The Wall and TFC are not my cup of tea. I think they're musically lacking to some degree and there's way too much of an emphasis on the lyrics for my taste.

Once you grow up, you'll learn that you can get your point across without ripping those fans who do like the post Waters Floyd. When you use terms like "Fat Dave" .......your intelligence really shows.
