But your right I am a **** as people often find out. I am very very much one.

Having just read your latest post here (beginning, "yeah thats true etc...") I'm in danger of being made to eat my words.
Well written...credit due.

I accept I have been seen to be insulting but I assure you I meant it as a joke just light and piss taking. It's just my way.
See it as funny and take the piss back it is just sometimes I write while quite intoxicated!
Has anyone done a thread about the funniest record they heard or the best music film?
Watch Rockers about rasta's in the music industry it is so funny. I swear it is so funny you'll nearly die of laughter.

No. I would still rather talk about Pink Floyd in this thread. If that is OKAY with you, that is.

ADELE, I'm going to send you a PM.

cool man.
You know something, I just read something in a book I have and I have to take back what I said. Waters wrote most of DSOTM including the last half of the album including the guitar.
I take back what I said because something was niggling me and I checked bio's of the band and some video's I have.
Not doing down Gilmour but from what I read he behaved alot like a session player while waters wrote the licks and lyrics.
The court case found he was too unfair and only awarded to the others because they were 3 to one.
And also he was inspired by syd and some of syds works he had on paper.
He also spent most time in the studio with his ideas.
Considering he also was the talent with syd in the beginning I would say it was waters. I do agree with the previous about the wall been like a shrink session but it is still great and what floyd were about. I was wrong, I reckon waters is really pink floyd. He has been wronged and deserves credit.
cheers for that email.
believe me when you talk **** you get **** and I like it.
If I go making sweeping statements I expect to be slated and that is fun and cool and people up their game. I'll tell you one thing, I know nought about 99% of bands and music as I am dull and only listen to the old bands I always have and should listen to other stuff. But I do love the bands I talk about.

waters easily, he was the main songwriter in DSOTM, wish you were here, animals, the wall, and the final cut

I don't care who you prefer, but Syd Barrett? Theres no way he is the most talented member of Floyd.

Waters is the best songwriter and he's a pretty decent bass player, and he may be my favorite lyricist. But Gilmour is a better singer, and an amazing guitarist AND a pretty good songwriter, hell he's even a better bass player. So I gotta go with him.

Richard Wright is also a very talented musician, not only as a keyboardist but he has a great voice too and he is quite overlooked as a songwriter, he has some interesting solo material.

Who knows, he could have been? He is certainly the most influential. PF remain one of the few bands that remain influenced by his work whether consciously or not.

I got into Floyd through the classic Gilmour era (Meddle etc) and he will always be my favourite guitarist but as I have got older my appreciation for Syd Barrett increases every day. The guy was a damn genius (I never use that term lightly) and was far ahead of his time musically. Early floyd is completely dominated by him and without that base, latter day Floyd would never be the beast it became.

boo boo · 06-03-2008, 05:58 PM

Yeah, but being the most influencial dosen't equal = most talented.

Waters and Gilmour are both better songwriters and composers in pretty much every way, in addition to being better musicians as well.

I love Barrett era Floyd, but I think calling Barrett a genius is taking it way too far.
