Sorry it's been so long since I popped in. I went on a little vacation.
I don't think I can agree with a lot of what was said above. Post-Waters Floyd doesn't sit well with "purists"? What self-proclaimed purists? I guess "The Final Cut" is "pure Floyd"? I'll agree they missed a step with "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," but the "The Division Bell" is the best Floyd album since "Animals." If it'd been recorded in 1978, between "Animals" and "The Wall," it'd be considered a classic. And the best Floyd was Atom Heart Mother, Ummagumma, and Echoes (assuming you meant Meddle)? Well, there's no accounting for taste, but I'd say their creative peak was Meddle through The Wall, minus "Obscured by Clouds." In other words, to each his own. I will agree that in the off chance these four knuckleheads do another album/tour, I hope it's new and forward-thinking, not nostaglic (hear that favorite band Yes?). But, using the ironic joke that will ever be asssociated the Floyd, it will happen when pigs fly. I for one will be watching for pigs on the wing. Heh, if they actually do record and tour, it would be perfect to open and close with "Pigs on the Wing" and fly the pig again. Spaz out. P.S. Anyone else find it ironic that Waters turned into the dictator type person he purports to oppose?
