I'm definitely going to listen to this album again today :)
Roger Waters is great, although I do think he doesn't give Gilmour enough credit for his contributions (he bills himself as "the musical genius behind Pink Floyd," or at least he used to). But damn does he put on a great concert; I saw him twice back in the aughts.
They've had some decent work since he left. It's not as brilliant as the earlier stuff, sure, but I think a big part of the genius of Floyd was the give and take between Waters and Gilmour, particularly in the case of Dark Side of the Moon (Gilmour said in an interview that he wanted the album to be very "swampy" and Waters wanted it "dry"). The whole was greater than the sum of its parts.

Tbf look at what happened after Roger left lol. Dave is fantastic in his own right but he couldn't do what Roger did
