It's Waters' concepts that I find unimpressive.

The best Floyd material came in the Syd period. Piper @ Gates Of Dawn and Saucerful Of Secrets are their masterworks.

There is nothing from their 70s material that is truly great imo except POSSIBLY Wish You Were Here. I don't even think they were near being one of the best bands of the 70s but their late 60s work made them one of the greatest of the 60s. My overriding feeling is that much of the material written solely by Waters is the stuff of a hack writer. The best songs on say Wish You Were Here were the cowritten ones. By the point that Waters totally came to dominate, I feel the band became totally unimpressive (e.g. Animals and The Wall).

Boo boo put it best when saying that working together, you could call some of 70s Floyd genius. They were imo mediocre at best, however, with Waters as the sole songwriter. Pity it ended up like that.
