We have kind of had this debate before. In my oft expressed opinion, Roger was Pink Floyd. David Gilmour made no small contribution and is a great guitarist.

However, Roger Waters was the creative genius behing everything they done. Maybe he has got a big ego, but let's face it, if any of us had that kind of talent and thousands of fans cheering us night after night, I bet our egos would be pretty big as well.

Again, as I have said before I would have respected Dave and Co if they had not continued to trade under the Floyd name.

Regarding Richard Wright and Nick Mason, I am not sure they made a huge contribution. Maybe they were sidelined by Roger's superior talent but Wright himself admits that he went through a long period in the wilderness.

I suppose the real question is whether Roger was right to break up the band when he did. Maybe he felt it had run it's course and wanted to do something as a solo project.
