Roger Waters...oooohhhhh. His solo stuff generally stinks and don't pretend it doesn't. The fact that a lot of his bass work was played by Gilmour backs this up. He writes some brilliant lyrics and melodies but he has blown since 1987 let's be honest.
I dunno, I quite like that song he wrote for The Last Mimzy.



Oh, and Gilmour didn't play MOST of the bass work. He only did bass work for the following.

The Narrow Way
Fat Old Sun
One of These Days (with Roger)
Part 6 of Shine On (with Roger)
Pigs
Sheep
Mother
Goodbye Blue Sky
Young Lust
Don't Leave Me Now
Hey You
Nobody Home
The Show Must Go On
Waiting For the Worms
The Trial
Not Now John

So Waters still deserves some credit. He wasn't a terrible bassist, but he knew his limitations.
