Because you're wrong and the actual answer is Syd Barrett.

this will be a nice healthy discussion until jackhammer comes along and pwnz us all with his insane knowledge of the pink floyd

i honestly dont see why people like syd all that much. yeah he helped get the band off its feet, but once he left they had some of thier biggests hits ever.

Inspired but not the work of.
I think without Gilmore's guitar the band would not have had the success it did.
Do you think the division bell proved that?
That is debatable but pink floyd are what they are due to the guitar I believe.
How much Gilmore had to do with the lyrics I am not sure.
Have you seen youtube with DSOTM with Wizard of Oz?
No syncronicity at all man, what are they on about?
Roger waters claimed the wall for his own work almost entirely but without the guitar...........

sleepy jack

Something can't be written without inspiration, unless you're writing it because Malcolm McLaren is pushing you to do it so you can make more money.

Very funny.
But inspiration doesn't make you the most talented does it?
Something inspired Gilmore yes but he still had to write the music not syd.
That is stupid Crowquil.
So why isn't everyone writing great songs if all they need is inspiration?
Get real.

sleepy jack

Yeah but the giant problem with that logic is without inspiration is wouldn't have happened. I never said "Oh Syd inspired Wish You Were Here therefore he's the most talented."

My reasoning for him being most talented is because Piper At the Gates of Dawn>Everything else they've done and The Madcap Laughs is the best solo Floyd output.

Yes but then why aren't loads of bands writing great songs due to inspiration from old friends? Because they don't have the talent to go with the inspiration.
You even said before that the manics were crap after Edwards!!!
But he inspired most of their later work didn't he?
I agree with piper.
But I'd still hand it to Gilmore.
I suppose it is between gilmore, waters and syd isn't it?
How come harldy anyone puts a case for waters?
I mean, he did do the wall and piper and wish your were here, animals etc.
In fact he was there for all the albums up to the eighties so I suppose he was the most influential.
Your point about malcolm is a low blow Crowquill.
Trying to get some points in that I clearly won in another thread despite the gentlemans club supporting you.
Shine on you crazy Crowquill.
