It is Gilmour who sings Wish You Were Here. His falsetto on the outro gives me goosebumps. So emotional. I do like Waters scathingness but in doses. Particularly on Dogs.

I love both their vocals on Comfortably Numb, they were perfect for that song, each unique style

i got obscured by clouds i like the song whats the deal

and gold its in the...

I have to say "Dark Side".  I'd always avoided Floyd like the plague, but the first album I lsitened to (and coincidentally connected with) was "Dark Side".  I then started sucking up any Floyd I could get.

Some of Syd's stuff I agree is excellent lyrically, but doesn't really interpret into great material.  Wish You Were Here was ok, but it could have been Dark Side Volume 2.  The Wall was a great conecpt (and a great achievement), but for this listener had too many Roger vocals for me.  I liked the Division Bell but it was fluffy, as was A Momentary Laspe of Reason.  They both had some good moments, but had a few bad ones as well.

Animals / Wish you Were Here / dark side of the moon ....have to be my fave Pink Albums

....I've never heard any of Roger's solo stuff. Wonder if I should give some of it a listen.

You could try "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking".  The tracks on it are not especially catchy, but the concept (all the songs are titled for the time that the dreams come to him) is quite intelligent.  Clapton makes an appearance on 5:01AM (The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking) so that's worth a listen. 

I didn't really like Radio KAOS, I think it was disjointed and rambled (plus a lot of it is whispered!) so I wouldn't start there.  Amused to Death was also quite good but you need to remember that there's no Dave Gilmour to take the edge off Roger's singing..... 

That's the thing. I can only take so much of Roger's singing. Dave's voice on the other hand.... Guess that's why I can stand the Division Bell. Sort of. Then again I haven't gotten into any solo Dave either.

Roger's voice and guitar playing and godd, but hez not very attractive

lol hehe 

it IS DSOTM

the Wall for me

Interesting.

Its pure genius.  I love dark side, animals, wish you were here as well, but the Wall is incredibly powerful and damn good music.  Dark Side comes very close with it's nearly perfect ending songs, but the Wall also benefits from having more songs in my opinion.  The White Album is my fav. Beatles, so maybe I just like quantity

Yeah, I like a lot of the songs on the Wall. I don't know if it's their best overall though. It can't miss with that many songs. Wish You Were Here has only five and yet each one is brilliant. So how do you compare? I listen to both frequently anyway. Dave's opinion on the Wall isn't very flattering though. But I think thats the bitterness thing again!! He says it lacks soul. Maybe he's really talking about Roger.
