    That's why there was a legal battle on the name. After the Meddle inner gatefold picture Pink Floyd members were never seen again on the album covers. I really think that the vast majority of people who bought AMLOR had no idea of who was actually playing (or not playing) on that album.

    Incorrect on Shine On and Another Brick. Both were sung by Waters.

    Sure it's exactly the same. Roger Waters was given a script and he played his part.

    Waters-less Pink Floyd is dry.

    I guess this thread will go on until Waters and Gilmour become members of this forum and express a final opinion :laugh:. (Mmmmm, maybe they're already here under other names! :yikes:)

    I don't think that would even make a difference! There are people here who would tell them they're wrong! :)

    That's still 14 years before AMLOR.

    True but it is an album that pretty much every Floyd fan owns so it is probably the most known photo of the band.

    I don't think the poster was included everywhere in the world. Also in the 70s Pink Floyd toured UK and US a lot but not so much the rest of the world. What I want to say is that while other bands like, say, the Rolling Stones have a well identified frontman whose absence would be immediately noticeable, Pink Floyd after Syd Barrett was a band without a clear frontman and therefore it was easier for Gilmour to stick Pink Floyd on the cover of an album or on a tour programme and make things look as if nothing had changed.

    I'm not sure what the big problem is with this thread, as long as people can remain respectful. It's basically about the continuing rift within the band (or at least, its classic 70s incarnation) and how it affects our view of them today. Yes, these issues have been rehashed for a long time and the upcoming release has rekindled old arguments, but that's certainly not unheard of on message boards like this. It's a testament to how much people care about this band.

    I don't know - I didn't like Roger Waters as Bond too much.

    Almost had me fooled on Another Brick, but that is surely Rog.

    Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 has David Gilmour and Roger Waters sharing lead vocal throughout the piece.

    Not sure why you are bringing Syd Barrett into the discussion when he only appears on one and a half albums, and the band achieved their greatest success long after he left. Unless you are just trying to be difficult, it really doesn't have anything to do with the post you are responding to, or the context of this thread.

    Of course it isn't 'proper' Floyd.

    Having said that, there hasn't been a 'proper' Floyd album since 1977. IMO.

    Of course it's a Pink Floyd album. There are plenty of bands touring and/or recording where the line-up has altered more drastically than this one. The Glen Miller Orchestra for one!

    Another Brick is a co-lead vocal, both David and Roger.

    Personally? I could care less about the radio or what songs get played on it. My point, was that in the late 70s and early 80s, when radio was the easiest way to discover music, those are the Pink Floyd songs you heard most often. I was talking about the casual listener...not the die-hard fan.

    Luckily, I don't have a single favorite band, but Pink Floyd is very near to that, I've been listening to them since I was a nine-year-old kid, and I feel a true love for their music. I see I'm not alone, many of us love the band. But discussing whether Gilmour and Mason have the right to release some recordings under the name "Pink Floyd" is, in my humble opinion, a waste of time. But, hey, in Frank's words, whatever you can do to have a good time, let's get on with it, so long as it doesn't cause a murder... Do what you like, it's a free world (no, it isn't at all, but, well, at least we have a free forum!).

    Genesis went on without Gabriel and it was still Genesis to me. Floyd went on without Waters and it's still Floyd to me.

    Add to the fact Gilmour could have easily made this a solo effort right? But this is clearly a Floyd album in his mind. That's good enough for me, but then again I enjoyed the division bell as much as anything else from the band.

    I have never seen a Genesis album where one member wrote close to 100% of the music and 100% of the lyrics. Even if the collective songwriting credits are hiding the details, I don't think any member has ever claimed otherwise. Peter Gabriel was the frontman but an equal contributor in terms of songwriting. In the case of Pink Floyd we are talking about the person who had written something like 90% of the last three albums before he left.

    I think AMLOR was a Pink Floyd album in David Gilmour's [accountant's] mind.
