Amen to that!

David and Roger struggled together to put the band into a new shape. The only thing that is left of Syds Floyd, is Ricks keyboard.

As for Davids non contribution to The Final Cut, I dont think it was a lack of songs, About Face came out a year later. Im sure he had a few songs, but they didnt fit with Rogers idea of the album.

Its sad when so called Pink Floyd fans cant give credit where credit is due. To dismiss the contribution of the others is just plain stupid.
Their best songs wouldnt have come into being without a collaboration.
Echoes
Shine On...
Dogs
C Numb
just to mention a few.

I totally agree. Not sure if you're talking about me though. There are some Wikipedia articles that all say the same; David wasn't writing anything for the Final Cut. And actually, the fact that he was working on a solo album might even have been the reason for that. David wouldn't be the first artist who neglects his band-work during the creation of a solo project. ;)
