The Division Bell is [b]NOT a Pink Floyd album. It is a David Gilmour album masquerading under the Pink Floyd name.[/b]
Anyway, here's hoping the BBC will repeat the documentary on him that they produced a few years ago.

I don't think he said it was terrible as a stand-alone album. Just doesn't really fit in nicely with the rest of thier body of work.
How can it be fine and crap?
In other words, if you listen to some thing and you didn't know who it was, it would be crap. But when you discover it's by someone you like, it becomes good.

All in all, I think what they were trying to say, was that it didn't live up to their expectations. I for one, was eagerly awaiting a new masterpiece in the Floyd's catalogue of excellence, and was sorely disappointed.
Originally posted by jimslyp69I reckon that many fans are just unhappy about Roger Waters not being there, regardless of the sound. You'd think they would have got used to it by now.

ANYWAY!!
This thread is supposed ot be about Syd not bloody "d-bell"
So ... What solo stuff of Syd's do you enjoy? if not full album then single song will do.
"Madcap" is probably on of my favourites but this changes with time
Once we sobered up and realised there was more to it that "i know the bassline", we changed to Motorhead 🙂
We still played fearless at the gigs, but thats cause it was the only song we all knew (not a sid song, i know).
If sid aint in heaven, i aint goin.

Is it similar to the stuff he wrote for Floyd?
Originally posted by VargMore similar in genre to 'Bike' I would say. But that would be a big generalisation. He wrote in a few styles. From tuneful and melodic little ditties with catchy lyrics, to the absolute extremes of psychadelia and madness. I think you can definatley hear him slowly losing it. 🙁
Never bought his solo albums?
