Smith's part. The band Smith hired to record the next two albums isn't at all bad - I do like both of them, but 2005's Fall Heads Roll is among their best studio efforts and therefore takes something very special indeed to beat it. It's a task Reformation and Imperial Wax Solvent aren't up to (in my opinion of course).

So, yeah, he should have stuck with them in other words.

Pink Floyd

Roger Waters. More specifically his gradual taking over the band. To a certain extent we can blame both David Gilmour and Richard Wright for not contributing enough new material towards the end but this then only fuelled Waters to assume more control. A whole band effort after the brilliant 'Animals' would have been very interesting. Instead we got the bore fest that is 'The Wall'.
