"Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" was great. "Radio KAOS" was great. "Amused to Death" was good. The "division bell" and "momentary lapse" were the worst recordings I have ever heard. So, I disagree with you.

It was actually rumored for years and still is to this day, that Syd died!!! I mean come on, who do you think started this rumor. Obviously the band.
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" was written about Syd, who appeared in the studio one day while the band was putting the final touches on
Wish You Were Here
. Pink Floyd performed "Astronomy Domine" on their 1994 tour. Several biographies licensed by the band make mention of Syd's descent into dementia and the fact that he is very much alive. Members of the Floyd guested on Syd's two solo albums.
I don't know where you got this talk that Roger and David are triyng to make people believe that Syd Barrett's dead, but I think you're
way
off the mark. -

They are a combination, Waters was the brains of Pink Floyd, I think he wrote pretty much all the lyrics for most of Floyd's albums, but I don't think he was really fit to be the leader of the band in the earlier days of Floyd, and remember Dave Gilm5b4our replaced Syd. Dave is an awesome guitarist, his guitar licks and voice made the band successful, I think Dave's voice is a lot better, even though I like Roger Waters vocals on The Wall, they aren't as hypnotic as Dave's. One isn't better than the other. They both have fairly succesful solo careers, but Dave is still more or less keeping Pink Floyd alive. Division Bell is a good album, but just a little too nineties, I was hoping it would be more progressive but its still good.
