Who Is Responsible For Pink Floyd ? Increase Your PM Length

I've seen more debate on Beatle members.
I wonder about Pink Floyd for a change.
If you don't know them, keep on moving.

An argument could be made for any of the three.
I'm going to hold back on my opinion for now.
What do you think?

I voted. Gilmour could be technically responsible because of the other albums he released after he took hold of the group.

I think he kind of ruined it.

syd was by far the greater infuence
founded the band... that alone would qualify him
but i think its his songwriting.

his drug use and sanity level are still questioned..
still all other members were influenced
by him and without him they would not have become
who they are.

Syd's influence was more dominate in the beginning.
Best noted in Ummagumma and A Saucerful of Secrets.
But his stay at the funny farm and the need for them to be more commercial led to the increased influence of Roger Waters and their more mainstream success.
David did have some influence but Roger was the driving force in later years. This was best demonstrated when you saw the difference in their later individual concerts.

All 3 were friends, pre Pink Floyd.

Syd, with Roger Waters, formed Pink Floyd initially, and was the creative force behind Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
Piper IS Syd.

Piper was cutting edge in 1967, but Syd was struggling with mental health.
He left/was booted after this album, being replaced by David Gilmour, and wrote a couple of solo albums.
In these it's easy to identify the similarities to Piper.
Gilmour assisted, interestingly, on these solos.

David Gilmour is responsible for the sound that became Pink Floyd. His guitar work is prevalent on them all.

Roger Waters, following Piper, became more and more the dominant force in the song writing.
Dark Side of The Moon was the album that catapulted Pink Floyd in 1973. Waters wrote all the lyrics, and much of the music.

As I said at the beginning, a case could be made for all.

My personal opinion is that, choosing 1, the dominant force is Roger Waters.



That, and that Winston is the leader of the circle jerks, with Sava acting as his right hand man.

Should've waited till rah passed out or something. Ming would've let it run for a while.

You could of course re-open it and let us have a bit of fun. I'll retract my lawsuit for sure if you show a little discretion.
