I don't think Waters was as good of a songwriter as most people think. It seems like people give him the credit for the the songs which others wrote the music for just because he wrote the lyrics. For example, DSOTM. Richard Wright wrote the music for a lot of the songs, while Rog wrote the lyrics. Dave also wrote most of the music for the song WYWH, as well as the hit songs on The Wall.

I'm not at all degrading Rog's songwriting skills, I just think Dave and Richard don't get enough credit for songwriting. Just look at TFC, where Dave was given a subsidary role and Richard wasn't even on the album.
