Who wrote most songs?

Does anybody know which member wrote the most Pink FLoyd songs? How about does anybody know (about) how much in percent how many songs each member wrote? I'm writing a speech and this info is quite hard to find out. Greatly, greatly appreciated Thanks.

First it was Syd, then it was all of them, then it was Roger and a little bit of them, and then it was Roger, then it was Dave.

Um yeah, Cerpin pretty much got it. Oh, note that Mason really didn't write anything though.

Hard? What's so hard in checking the credits for 14 albums? Get your facts straight at least. You are writing a speech and you don't even know what you're talking about!

If you look on the credits of The Wall and Animals, Dave did co-write some songs.

Ezrin, what about him, he co-wrote a few diddies, The Trial, I think Learning to fly, and some other stuff.
Geesin did atom heart mother.
And Wish You Were Here was basicly just everyone working together.
Exact percents are probably difficult becuase some songs were co-written but no credits given and who wrote more of co-written songs.
Its overall very complicated but its in this order of writing amount I think.

1.Roger about 40%
2.Dave about 30%
3.Syd about 20%
4.Rick about 9%
5.Nick about 1%

I'd give Dave more credit... until 75 he wrote alot of the music... until 72 he dabbled in the lyrics too... and then again in 87 with both... so don't sell dave short.

If I was really stupid I'd assign a number of points to each member based on how much of each song they wrote and multiply it by the song's length. But that would be stupid.

Syd did 1 album and a bunch of singles and Roger has only two times his "score"? Bah, I agree with Botley, senseless.

Yeah, Syd would be nowhere near 20%. I don't think he managed to write one fifth of the band's material when they had about 15 albums, and he was only around for one of them.

I just guessed it off of the top of my head by amount was put in per album (The Wall was like 90% Roger, AMLOR was like 75% Dave, DSOTM was basicly split evenly) I think someone with a need for somehting to do should add the song length of each song each member wrote, divide it up for more than one writing credit, and add the lengths together and divide the the member songs lengths from that. (Or something)

Roger had already left before AMLOR though. You probably already know that but if you didn't...
