I agree the band collectively are greater than the sum of their parts. Love all the 1967-1983 period. Once Roger left the Floyd albums became very watered down. Similar can be said of Roger's solo albums: without the rest of the band there is a particular magic missing.

​

It's a shame the Live8 gig didn't inspire a proper band reunion.

​

On Syd: he only really contributed to the debut album. Some fine dandy stuff, sure. Everything after that - up to Wish You Were Here - is a team effort by the rest. Roger, as we know, led the trio of albums between 1977-1983.

​

Putting aside your personal views on Roger's character, would you agree his vocals on The Wall studio album are quite extraordinary? You don't even have to personally like it, but objectively it's a hell of a performance!
