Uh... you mean Brian, right?

The solo works of rick wright are much more talented musically than roger waters. Of course, Rog takes the cake on concept and lyrical quality.

I have yet to buy ATD, i'll admit. But i'm about to order it when I place my order for pulse. I like what i've read on the theme of ATD -- It has some good points on the annoying parts of american culture. "Our american friends are late home tonight", and I couldn't agree with this statement any more.

I think Summer 68 is simply gorgeous, Remember a Day is very dreamy and kind of psychedelic. Those two are my faves that he wrote for Floyd. But i do like his solo stuff, my uncle recommended them to me and i liked them fine.

Rick Wright was wacked mercilessly, at birth, with the 'atmosphere stick'. His chordscapes pretty much glued the whole show together, up until the late 70s. Great songs, great singing and obviously the guitarist of doom, but all for naught without that funky organ.

Great Rick moments ?

• Great Gig In The Sky - stands on it's own as a masterpiece, and the kicker is that Roger still plays it live. Poetic.

• Cat Cruise - one wonders what may have become of this had it become part of the 'Floyd set. Still, nice performance ... and those chords ...

• Astronomy Domine (from Ummagumma) - the middle keyboard section as Mason's ride cymbal peters into silence - priceless !

• The Hammond Organ - one would have to say that he's up the with the Lords, Kayes, Booker Ts, et al. To be identified with an instrument because of the way you play is no mean feat.

I've always been a Wearing the Inside Out fan. And now that the Gilmour DVD is out, I've taken a liking to Breakthrough. Never liked Sinead's version, but when Rick sings it - it seems to mean more (and sound more real).

For older stuff, Us and Them and Remember a Day are tops on the list.

Rick is my favourite member of the band

favourite Rick's solo stuff - Broken China
favourite songs on Wet Dream - Cat Cruise, Drop In From The Top, Pink's Song
favourite songs on Zee: Identity - Voices ... hmm, that one with the only hammond solo on the whole record would be another choice
favourite songs on Broken China - Runaway, Sweet July, Along The Shoreline, Reaching For The Rail, Breakthrough

and also the great version of Breakthrough on Dave's DVD

favourite songs with Pink Floyd - Great Gig, SOYCD part 9, Wearing The Inside Out, Remember A Day, Paintbox
