The Final Cut - Pink Floyd (Roger Waters)

Today while sitting at home, not being at school since I am sick, I was trying to pass the time and figured that I could listen to a CD besides In A Coma, which I have been listening to non-stop since I got it. So I looked to the Final Cut, Pink Floyd's last CD with Roger Waters. I feel that it is absolutely brilliant CD. The insight and depth in the lyrics is phenomenal. It was the first Floyd CD that Roger wrote all the lyrics for with no help from the other band members, in fact on the back of the CD it says "The Final Cut - a requiem for the post war dream by roger waters". Unfortunately it sales were very poor and it was considered a failure by many. After this, Roger decided that Pink Floyd was a dead cause, he was the creative genius behind them and a CD written entirely by him had flopped. Dave, Rick (actually Rick Wright was not considered a memeber of the band on the Final Cut CD and is given no credit on it), and Nick agreed with him and the band broke apart. However, shortly after Dave, Rick, and Nick changed their mind and wanted to get back together and record as Pink Floyd, without Roger. It all got very ugly after this; Roger attempted to sue them so that they could not use the Pink Floyd name. He had a point, without himself and Syd Barrett there were only two original members left (neither of them really had ever written lyrics either) and the band certainly was not the same. But it proved very hard to argue this in a court of law and there was no choice but to dismiss Roger's case. He felt betrayed as his former band members went on without him. They only had moderate success (nothing compared to before) and Roger went on to work on his own solo career but he had lost some of that special talent inside of him and his solo projects never had the same flare or brilliance that his work with Pink Floyd did. Perhaps it is unfair to compare his CDs to that of Pink Floyd's that were so phenominally successful. Roger Waters was Pink Floyd, when Syd Barrett went completely insane from his mental dependency on LSD Roger picked up the band on his shoulders and brought them to their greatest works of all time: Darkside of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. I find it amusing how quickly people can forget what he did and what he meant to the band. Imagine if AC/DC had given up once Bon Scott died and never found Brian Johnson, we would never have heard their greatest CD: Back in Black. Yes, well there was a point to be made in here somewhere, which I got away from when I began to talk of Floyd in general and then AC/DC got in there? lol But yes on to my real point............................I feel that it is completely outrageous that Pink Floyd broke up because of the Final Cut and that anyone would question the creative genius of Waters because of it. So now I sit here and firmly say that the Final Cut is Pink Floyd's greatest CD and possibly my favourite CD of all time. If I ever got the chance to meet Roger Waters I would congratulate him on his fine piece of work and tell him that it's "bloody fucking ridiculous what happened".
Roger you da man
