I have to step in here and say, first of all Geddy, the topic wasn't on how much each member contributed, but whether we thought less of Roger knowing he was a jerk. For me the answer was no.

Second, Dave's contribution to The Wall is quite exaggerated, though I will give him credit for Animals and WYWH and Dark Side. But the only thing on The Wall that he is responsible for wholly is Comfortably Numb. And that was just the music part of it, Roger still wrote the lyrics.

Mother and Hey You, possibly the two strongest songs on the album, have Roger Waters written all over them. Granted, he couldn't do much else, Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking sounded an awful lot like these two songs, they are still the best two songs on that album.

Finally, lets not forget the lyrics. What would any of this be without the message Roger tries to send? Well, without exaggeration, it would all be just two albums, MLOR and TDB.

Really, let's not try to dismiss Roger's part in all this, he was the heart and soul. The driving force that brought out some great things from, if left under Syd's devices, just another pop group.

That's all I have to say.
