RE: How do you rate the albums?
I hve to say, there isn't anything Roger wrote that I don't love to listen to, however, Amused To Death and Ca Ira are my favorites, especially ATD is a total masterpiece.

I was told Ca Ira had the melodies of pros & cons throughout, but found the double CD a drudge to listen to. I love floyd, and waters solo. I also love operas, especially the likes of Puccini and Carmina Burana, but I just can't get into Ca Ira.

Get When the wind blows. Classic waters material. Very under-rated.

While, like Floyd, most of the Waters material is based around creating an album rather than a three minute song, the title track of Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking is particularly good as a stand-alone track, and I would strongly recommend it... and not forgetting "The Tide is Turning" from the end of KAOS, this is a classic.

Best Cd
4. Radio K.A.O.S-All time awesome

3. Amused to Death-Just Plain Amazing

2. The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking-Just a plain classic, just about unbeatable

1.Now this is technically a pink floyd cd but roger waters wrote every song, The Final Cut-its such a beutiful masterpiece, that is one of my favorite cds of all time

RE: Best Cd
Welcome to the forum Asyd. I'd say.....

3. TPACOH, not a fan
2. KAOS, love it!
1. ATD, by far Roger's best solo effort

And now the final solution can be applied.

3. Radio KAOS - still brilliant but would be better if rog kept "Going to live in LA" and "Get back to radio" on there.
2. Amused to death - His best songs are on here but i don't think its the best album as a whole.
1. The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking - Brilliant album, Each song flows into the next perfectly, my favourite album ever!

RE: How do you rate the albums?
Radio kaos has some decent tracks on it but it is too far fetched to be taken seriously and the 80's overproduction and references to Reagan have dated it considerably. I still like the song which has the line " billy turned the dial to his short wave radio " etc.[me or him]

waters has not released a new solo rock album since the early 90's which is lame.

RE: How do you rate the albums?
Being a Pink Floyd fan for 35 years I actually am fairly new to Roger Waters solo material (about 5 years now), and have come to the conclusion that he Just keeps getting better.

Great - Radio Kaos
Amazingly Great - Pros and Cons of Hitchiking
Unbelieveably Great - Amused To Death

His music has so much depth to offer. I feel like I've been to the library after listening to it, hey I think it makes me smarter.
......Tickets in hand for the Wall Live Tour, row 34 on the floor, ( I can not bear to wait the whole summer)

Keep it coming Roger~
