Well as an example if you have the "The making of Darkside of the Moon DVD" most of the ideas were his. And from what I understand alot of the music was first played by him, strummed on an acoustic, on the demos. He would make up the demo with the music, melody, and lyrics and present it to the band.

I have whole bootleg demos of "The Wall" and stuff from "Darkside" and it's Roger playing the guitar parts and doing the vocals. I imagine then he would get the rest of the bands input at that point and have them clean things up and so on.

So yes alot the ideas were his in every facet of the song. I am not trying to slight the other musicians, I love Dave and Rick, it's just that Roger was the driving force behind the creation of their music.
