Would have thought that someone else would have resurrected this subject by now. 

Currently listening to Stationary Traveller by Camel.

Probably apt that I'm currently listening to Comfortably Numb on Absolute Radio. What an absolute tune.

Whoops it's Genesya

"dm, Brit Floyd are the best doing it. Damian who leads them and plays most of the Gilmour solos and vocal parts. he was in the Aussie band for many years before starting up BF. Ian Cattell, a yank, plays the bass guitar and sings all Waters vocal parts and a few of Gilmours. it wouldn't be the same without Cattell as he does such a good job sounding like Waters. he was also previously in the Aussie band"

Geneseya is a great Genesis tribute band

"Aussie Floyd are brilliant, some of their stuff sounds better than the real Floyd :-)"

"Takashi Miike I've seen a few Floyd tribute bands. but I haven't seen the ones you mention. I used to really like think Floyd back in about 1999/2000 and they even did two albums of original material which were very good, but now seem to be deleted and even seem to be erased from their history. They are worth seeking out. I'm not a huge one for tribute bands, but I do intend to make the effort to see StillMarillion sometime. They are supposed to capture the essence of early Marillion very well"

No one can bend notes like Gilmour

"dm, i do agree with you about david's solo stuff. it's nice but never great. you seen brit floyd in concert? it's a great night (two hours, forty minutes per show) and i go every year"

"Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away; Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air. You better watch out, There may be dogs about IÔøΩve looked over Jordan, and I have seen Things are not what they seem. What do you get for pretending the dangerÔøΩs not real. Meek and obedient you follow the leader Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel. What a surprise! A look of terminal shock in your eyes. Now things are really what they seem. No, this is no bad dream. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want He makes me down to lie Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by. With bright knives He releaseth my soul. He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places. He converteth me to lamb cutlets, For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger. When cometh the day we lowly ones, Through quiet reflection, and great dedication Master the art of karate, Lo, we shall rise up, And then weÔøΩll make the buggerÔøΩs eyes water. Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream. Wave upon wave of demented avengers March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. Have you heard the news? The dogs are dead! You better stay home And do as youÔøΩre told. Get out of the road if you want to grow old."

"Sheep is a superb track, they even get a bit of Psalm 23 in there, with some altered lyrics"

I agree. I regard Gilmour as possibly the greatest living guitarist on the planet. It is often forgotten that he did some great guitar on The Final Cut. And I love The Division Bell and there are some great moments on A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Sorrow is a terrific track with a great bass line and some wonderful guitar playing by Gilmour.. Not sure can't understand why I have never managed to get into any of Gilmour's solo albums.bjectively they are musically brilliant. subjectively I find them dull to listen to.

"his lyrics dominated them, loads of those tracks on The Wall & Animals wouldn't be worth anything without gilmour's solos. especially something like Dogs"

"I think it is pretty much undeniable that objectively, David Gilmour is a better musician than Roger Waters. And seems to be a nicer bloke. But subjectively I find all Gilmour's solo albums to be dull. While I absolutely love all of Waters' solo material. and the Floyd albums that he dominated, such as Animals, The Wall and The Final Cut."

Roger Waters - Amused to Death 2015 remix. what an absolute masterpiece of an album. and he has made this excellent album sound even better

I agree with zebthecat. Ummagumma was definitely the worst.

Far Cough 1:40 Wed Oct 17 Not their best by any means but worse that Ummagumma? No way

"dm 1:30 Wed Oct 17 Re: What if anything are you listening to now? I've never understood why so many people hate The Final Cut. I've always loved it. so wonderfully self indulgent and full of bile. And I do love all of Roger Waters's solo albums . For me, the worst album they made, it should have been released under Roger Waters name only I think that was the final nail in the coffin to Waters and Gilmour's relationship"

Make 'em laugh Make 'em cry Make 'em dance in the aisles Make 'em pay Make 'em stay Make 'em feel okay

Yeah I'd never heard the majority of tracks. There was a volume 1 released a bit ago too that I'd missed. I saw him DJ at that Southport all dayer (in Finsbury Park!) and he was excellent.
