: I'd rather they got back together, but if Roger's not interested, the Gilmour Floyd is doing musically interesting work. They could use some help on the lyrics, but it's more interesting than Roger's solo stuff.

I disagree. AMUSED TO DEATH is a woefully underrated album and I've listened to it FAR MORE than I've listened to either A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON or THE DIVISION BELL. In fact, it's my favorite album of the 1990s, period.
The two Roger-less Floyd albums are nice ear candy but absolutely forgettable. I don't want to belittle Wright's or (especially) Gilmour's contribution to their success during their golden years, but Waters is far more interesting on every level without them than they are without him. And I'm glad that you think THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON is their best album, but that is YOUR opinion. Myself, it's a toss up between WISH YOU WERE HERE and THE FINAL CUT.
