How dare you say anything negative about the brilliant album "The Final Cut" or even about Roger Waters, the GENIUS behind Floyd (post Syd of course). David Gilmore is a bloated, bragging, sometimes decent guitar player - nothing more.

The sad thing is I don't know whether you're kidding or not. It's amazing, the vast array of different types of Floyd fans. I'm personally what I see as an early Gilmour fan. That is, More through Wish or so are my favorite albums. I see Piper, Saucerful, and Ummagumma as Syd albums (yes -- I know Syd barely touched Saucerful and Ummagumma, but they have that feel). Roger is Wish through Final Cut. And Momentary and Division are obviously late Gilmour. (This is all musically, obviously. Lyrics are a whole different matter.)

Also, I think that Gilmour is one of the topmost underrated rock guitarists of all time. He really is amazing; it's just that he seldom shows off. But when he does, be prepared to be blown away.

Anyway, enough egocentrism. As if you really care what I think about it.
