Whatever you think of Rogers Waters’ music

Not much. Amazingly self-absorbed and self-indulgent even for "progressive" rock. '70s punk and New Wave came along not a moment too soon. Even New Wave mope-rockers like Joy Division made Waters seem like a whiny drama queen by comparison - Ian Curtis didn't need 25 minutes per song or styro-foam walls on stage.

I was also impressed by how the rest of Joy Division recovered from Ian's suicide. They were arguably the best to come out of the UK in the 1980s, Bizarre Love Triangle notwithstanding. I strongly suspect that Perfect Kiss was about Ian, and 1963 makes my mind race because I still haven't figured it out.
