Mine was related to BDG playing bass on a good chunk of the PF albums. Pete (aka Driven) came to my rescue with the interview from BDG that supported the position:

I agree that Roger is a genius (songwriting and concepts), but he is hardly a great musician. Dave played bass on roughly half of Floyd's albums, and Roger can't play the fretless bass (have you ever seen him play it on Hey You?)

I think Roger has mellowed through the years (as is evidenced by his softer tone on the recent VH-1 shows on the band and The Wall. To me, the band was always best when all were contributing - Rick and Dave write excellent music together, and Roger's lyrics and concepts can't be beat!


Ahhh...those were the days
