The Comparison:
Do you have a favorite? Is it Dave? For me it's hard to say. The comparison between Dave and Roger is totally different to me. They have two totally different music styles that when apart are amazing as well as when together. While both styles are brilliant how can you choose the better?
Roger:
To me Pink Floyd with Roger Waters becomes the Roger Waters Band. He definately seems to over power the rest of the band. But is that a bad thing. Two very classic examples of this are "The Final Cut" and "The Wall". Both amazing albums, but both totally Roger. The work he has done with Floyd has helped define who they are.
Even his solo work is brilliant. Does he need Pink Floyd? Amused to Death is one of my favorite albums. It's still Roger, it doesn't change but in the background. Let's face it having Pink Floyd behind you can't hurt. I think Waters has his own set course he is traveling on and it's just the opposite way of Pink Floyd. His musical inspirations and goals come from a different place. Mainly his father!
Dave:
David however is still very much a part of the Pink Floyd. He pretty much runs the show these days. His musical style is right on track with the rest of the band. That is experimental, that's the way it started and that's why it is what it is today. I think he realizes the importance in experimentation.
Although Gilmour wasn't a member back in the beginning he still sites Piper at the Gates of Dawn as one of he favorite albums. Back then everything the Floyd did was an experiment, the lights, the movies, and most importantly the sounds.
My all time favorite album is The Division Bell. Gilmour pretty much did it all that album. Does this make him my favorite member? Oddly enough no. I think the members are as experimental as the music they create and there for I have no favorite member!
- One exciting thing I have heard is that Gilmours been writting and in some interview he stated that he is egar to return to the recording studio!
