Gilmore's solo efforts have been very good though. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Waters'.

Overall, I would concur, given that Waters' "Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking" and "Amused to Death" were hit-and-miss at best, but Waters' "Radio K.A.O.S." stands as his best concept work since Pink Floyd's "Animals" in my book.

I've always enjoyed Gilmour's stuff as well, though I was incredibly disappointed that he chose to keep Pink Floyd going after Waters left. Every PF album since Waters' departure has been nothing more than a beefed-up Gilmour solo album. :(

All that said, I commend Gilmour's generous contributions to those less fortunate than himself. He's a good soul, all told.

"Animals" (IMHO) was Floyd's finest hour. I can listen to that cd anytime, anyplace.

I humbly disagree. "The Division Bell" featured Rick Wright as composer and vocalist, for the first time since 1975 and 1973, respectively. By the time of "The Final Cut," Dave Gilmour wasn't even getting his producer's credit, let alone any compositional credit.

Then again, I have to remember that we're talking about guys who sued each other over inflatable pigs.

PS -- "Animals" rocks. One of their most overlooked albums.
