Many of which were either written by members of the band other than Waters or co-written with Waters. He wasn't the whole show.

And as a slight correction to this review, I'll add that it was Rick Wright, not Waters, who first started picking up the writing slack after Barrett's departure. Two of the best songs on “Saucerful of Secrets” were Wright's. But more importantly, the first post-Barrett a-side, “It Would Be So Nice,” was a Wright tune. When that single failed, Waters apparently lost confidence in Wright and tried to take over, but the next single failed too, and that was co-written by Waters and Gilmour (”Point Me at the Sky”). The band left both these failed a-sides off “Relics” and instead included the b-sides.

No matter though as I intend to have fun lampooning your arguments against Waters. Had you wrote that in… say, 1998… it might have held more water. Gilmour's troupe rolled across the landscape in '95 with the Division Bell tour and Waters was MIA since 1992, when ATD failed to justify a tour. However, the Roger Waters of 1999 and since is the one that you seem unwilling to accept. That is the one that made peace with Nick Mason, met up a few times with Rick Wright and played with the re-formed Floyd at Live 8.

In your attempts to label Roger an asshole, you've ignored the fact that he has opened the door to Gilmour to do SOMETHING else as Pink Floyd (album, tour, whatever) and it's David that refuses.

Rick Wright, sad as it is that he passed away, was fired by mutual decision by Gilmour. Wright wanted a production credit on the Wall, but was not earning it. When Waters, Ezrin and Gilmour chopped Wright's hopes off at the knees for a producers credit, Wright refused to work with Waters in the studio, and then just refused to work period. Waters demanded he be fired and Gilmour agreed (no matter what revisionist BS some believe). He was brought back for the tour as all agreed it would be better that way (the same way he was just for the MLOR tour, but not an official member of the band again until 1993).

Waters might be pompous on some level, but no more than most others. He's extended olive branches and been willing to accept that he has differences of opinions with Gilmour and Mason on their shared past.
