Gilmour and Wright are good songwriters in their own right.
In fact, Wright wrote the bulk of Us & Them, probably my favorite Floyd song, Great Gig In The Sky is another great piece by him. Gilmour is a weak lyricist, but his ear for good melody far surpasses Waters', all you have to do is compare his solo work to Water's, Gilmour's is far superior on a musical level. A lot of people like to diss post Waters Floyd, but I find myself liking The Division Bell quite a lot, the lyrics are sappy as f*ck, but the music is very tight IMO. If they put out another album just as good, and without Waters, I wouldn't mind. There has been a lot of talk since Live 8 about a full fledged reunion. But thats just a bunch of crap. A Pink Floyd reunion with Waters would be sweet, but as far as them making another album together I dunno, Waters has become such an egomaniac, he would probably take over everything like he did with The Final Cut, making it out to be just another solo record. If he could put it all aside and realise that there is more to Pink Floyd than just Roger Waters, then that would be great. But I wouldn't count on anything like that ever happening, as of now, Gilmour and Waters still hate each others guts, The Ramones are statistically more likely to reunite than Floyd and Waters, and they're all dead.

If they are actually planning to get back together I would already know about it, we all would.
But who knows, maybe Gilmour and Waters are just waiting it out to see how much money someone will cough up for them to do a reunion tour, Mason and Wright have already said they wouldn't bail on having a reunion. Overall, its still a best case scenario. |

Wright is my second favorite Floydster (after Gilmour of course), his keyboard playing is vastly underappreciated. I also like his vocals more than Waters', I think its a shame he didn't get to sing more often.
