Have you heard Radio KAOS and Amused to Death? Two excellent solo albums by him. I'd also recommend In the Flesh, his two-disc live effort. Wonderful stuff.

I don't know the others, but "times two" on Amused To Death: some great tracks, helped along by Jeff Beck on guitar, and R Waters does something that is not easy: makes a sociological point without ruining the songs.

I also think The Wall is full of excellent songs; put together, they tell a story, but each is a perfectly good song in its own right. I did find the whole Trial section to be a trial though. (Geddit?)

But Batlord also has a point:-

You know when you're doing something and you think "Listening to a bit of music would make this more agreeable?". I remember thinking that on one occasion, then realizing, "Oh, I'm already listening to Pink Floyd!" Something like Echoes was going straight through my brain, leaving zero impact.

They should've broken up after their 1977 tour and left Roger Waters to release 'The Wall' as a solo project.

Uncompromising in its vision it's ugly when things get ugly

About them being boring, I did give Endless River a listen-through, but yeah.. that passed through my brain like, uh, common sense goes through Batlord. Without sticking to anything.
