Personally, he is an Israel-hater, but I don't know his music. I find PF music ugly, but I read all the words to The Wall and it's pretty Nazi apologist to me.

Well there is a part in it where the character imagines himself as a Nazi-Like ruler, but considering Roger lost his father to the Nazis in WWII, I cannot see him being a Nazi apologist.....now a Communist apologist, absolutely.

” but I read all the words to The Wall and it’s pretty Nazi apologist to me.”

The movie or the album?

That's interesting. I know Hitler was a big fan of Richard Wagner, who also composed mostly ugly music with many stretches of absolute brilliance like "Ride Of The Valkries" and "Magic Fire Music" that make the (musical) journey worthwhile.

I think that describes the music of Pink Floyd to a tee. Most of their albums slug heavily along and then you are lifted to absolute ecstasy with tracks like "The Great Gig In The Sky" and "Comfortably Numb."

I guess it would not be too out of place to say that Hitler would have been a big Pink Floyd fan had he lived longer. He would have been 84 when "Dark Side Of The Moon" came out.

Roger Waters is NOT Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd is not a “he”. It’s a band.

IMO, The Wall is not their best album. There’s some good stuff, but also a lot of Roger Waters garbage.
