Gilmour can write good music. Too bad Wright was suffering from depression/drug addiction to be very productive. The best Pink Floyd songs are them working together.

Just as a fan of the music, I picked up the DVD set he released a few years ago. It was delivered to the office I was working at the time, and it was a slow day so we popped it in for a watch. Talking about a let down. It was the exact Waters droning on sentiment the GP had.

I recently took a long car trip solo and was able to listen to Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety without interruption. It still holds up in that kind of scenario; you almost have to listen to whole thing nonstop to fully appreciate it.

Me too.

My teenage years sitting in the sun smoking pot listening to these incredible sounds....

As a grown up I love everything they did before Dark Side of the Moon: That was when Roger Waters really started complaining.

Atom Heart Mother is my favourite

I don't think the self indulgence is unbearable until The Trial and "you stand accused of showing feelings of an almost human nature". The Trial is comedy/satire but since the rest of the album is serious and autobiographical, I roll my eyes at what a diva he sounds like there.

You forgot about the overprotective mum.

Tommy by The Who has related themes and is better IMHO.
