Such a tired story - god I want to bitch slap Roger Waters - but what a great album.

What's funny is their next album (and last, as the four of them) The Final Cut was basically the same whiny bullshit that was almost entirely Roger.

The best songs on The Wall were written by David Gilmour.

Yeah, Roger Waters got what he had coming to him though. I remember him discussing that when Pink Floyd got back together as Gilmour, Wright, and Mason, they made their first album apart from him, A Momentary Lapse of Reason. He was doing a concert for one of his albums, and next door he could hear Pink Floyd playing, and he realized that he had fucked up, lol.

The Final Cut was, if I remember correctly from Mason's band biography (as the only member to have always been in the band), the songs that the band had rejected from The Wall. With Roger believing he was all hot shit, he decided to force them to make them into a follow up album, which lead to Wright leaving the band/being fired, depending on how and when the story is told. Gilmour pointed out that all these songs were rejected for being bad, but Roger didn't care, and that's when Mason and Gilmour decided to just finish the album, and be done.

I like to think that Roger did get humbled in time, and realized that he was far too greedy and self-centered, and that's why he has tried to make amends since they played together at Live8 back in '05.

Still, all things considered, they had 3 back to back absolutely fantastic albums: Dark Side of the Moon - Wish You Were Here - Animals, and few bands ever achieve that. Their later works were also good, but you could tell they were missing Roger's side, and their earlier works were good, but you could tell they had not yet found the style that would define those central works (Still great pieces like Echoes though).

Yeah, Roger needed a punch in the face at the time.
