Roger Waters Pink Floyd Pick

The last of the bunch, this pick is the Waters' version of Pink Floyd. And I like it. It concentrates on the albums that had Waters in most control from Dark Side Of The Moon to Final Cut. It doesn't go back much farther. All the other picks from this family go back, but not for Waters. And there is one song that I almost put on: Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun. It's Waters writing and lead vocal and it's a great song. But I didn't. You will have to add it manually. I did include it on Richard Wright's pick. And the song is cool because it features guitar from both Gilmour and Barrett (and all five members actually contributed parts to the song.) But to me, Waters really starts getting into his own at DSOTM, so that's where this begins. Argue all you want (in the comments), but it is my pick.

Roger Waters Solo Pick 2

Here's the continuation of the Roger Waters solo pick. He does sound a lot like the continuation of Pink Floyd. There are times you miss David Gilmour's guitar, but not all too much. I've seen him live doing some of this stuff and it just sounds like him, but amped. Anyway after this volume, please go ahead and tell me what tracks you would have put on here. And which you would have left out. I put in the live track with Cyndi Lauper, but really I probably should have put in the Scorpions track, because I do love some Scorps. I don't know why I was too lazy to make a different cover for this volume, but I have to say that I like this shot of Waters from way back. Even if it wasn't a pic from his solo tours.

Roger Waters Solo Pick 1

Interesting thing about this pick (volume 1 and 2) is that you always hear that Roger Waters was a genius songwriter, but difficult guy to get along with. It sort of bears out and sort of doesn't. He seems to have a lot of guests play with him on tour and some on his solo albums, but he doesn't seem to get invited to play on other people's stuff very often. I might be missing a whole segment of his career. Oh well. He does have enough solo album work to easily fill two volumes of my pick of it. Which is exactly what I have done. Here's volume 1 of my pick of the Waters solo albums. Tomorrow I'll post volume 2.
