David Gilmour Is A Better Artist Than Roger Waters

Okay, a bunch of this will be C/P'd from other forum argumentsI've been in, since I need to focus on other things. Many people seem to share the view that Gilmour was pink floydsbiggest member. I used to as well. Now I think this is blatantly false. Gilmourhas an amazing voice and plays beautiful guitar which is why he gets so muchattention. But the fact of the matter is, Waters quite obviously contributed byfar the most in song writing.Pink Floyds greatest albums and Waterscontribution. The WallDark Side of the MoonWish You were HereObscured By CloudsMeddleAnimalsDivision Bell I realize"greatest" can be subjective so I will see what my opponents view onthis is. Overall Waters contributed to to the albumsmassively more than Gilmour. This is the most importantfact here, and I think I win on it alone. Let's overview the mention albumsshall we? 1. "The wall"Common fact that this is Waters album. Gilmour was only involved in four out ofthe 26 songs.2. "DSOTM" Also common fact. 3. "Wish You Were Here"Again a Waters album. It was a tribute to Syd Barett, and Gilmour wasn't in theband, save for a few months, while Barett was around, so Gilmour somewhatstayed out of the song writing. Waters was the main writer. Wright was second.Rogers was the main contributor in all the songs save Shine On You CrazyDiamond, which was Wright/Gilmour. Gilmour was only involved in SOYCD, and thatwas written in multiple parts with all members contributing, except Mason.Besides why would Gilmour be the writer of an album which was a tribute to theperson he replaced. That'd be awkward...___ These are almost positively the three most popular PF albums andevery single one Waters was by far the main contributor.___4. "Obscured By Clouds"Waters was involved in 7 of the ten songs; Gilmour 6.5. "Meddle"Group effort but every song was mostly Waters.6. "Animals"Almost completely Waters. Gilmour was involved in "Dogs".7. "Division Bell"As much a Gilmour album as The Wall is a Waters album.After taking into account all I've mentioned it's almost impossible to sayGilmour was the greatest PF member. When Gilmour and Waters are comparedtogether, Waters is massively under rated._____ Waters also ventured much more than Gilmour into other genre's. Hecreated an album that was solely classical, Ca' Ira. Very seldom do we find rock artists making classical albums butthat's what Waters did and therefore that's another thing that sets him aside from allother artists and makes him so superior._____ Any big pink floyd fan knows that Waters was the lyrical genius in the band.Waters is one of the all time greatest lyrical writers in the history of music.Besides that Gilmour said himself Waters was a better lyrical writer, and thefact that Gilmours wife wrote the lyrics on his last album further proves mypoint."Roger Waters always added more depth tothe band because of his voice, poetic flow, emotional content, and intellectualphilosophies." I assumemy opponent means David Gilmour and this is just a typo. Waters could sing too,such as on songs like "Mother", but yes Gilmour was the main singer.As for poetic flow, emotional content, and intellectual philosophies, that'sjust nonsense. Waters wrote the vast majority of the lyrics, and as statedGilmour made the claim himself that Waters could write lyrics better than him.My opponent claims On an Island was Gilmours debut album. This is false. On anIsland was created in 2006, while Gilmours first album was in the 70's. Likereally how can it be way ahead of its times? It's 70's music created in the200's. I'd like my opponent too get his facts straight.Sources:[1] http://pinkfloyd.net...[2] http://pinkfloyd.net...[3] http://pinkfloyd.net...[4] http://pinkfloyd.net...[5] http://pinkfloyd.net...[6] http://pinkfloyd.net...[7] http://www.amazon.com...[8] http://pinkfloyd.net...
