It\u2019s not often you find Roger Waters<\/a> and David Gilmour agreeing on much.<\/p>\n Ever since Waters\u2019 unceremonious split from Pink Floyd in 1985, the pair\u2019s legacy has been tainted by public spats, mutual mud-slinging, and a contemptuous to-and-fro of the band\u2019s narrative, Gilmour lambasting Waters\u2019 supposed artistic megalomania and increasing control freakery, while the latter bassist and principal songwriter has been more than happy over the years of throwing shade at the guitarist\u2019s creative captaining of Pink Floyd from A Momentary Lapse of Reason onwards.<\/p>\n Where effusive praise is to be found, however, is among Pink Floyd\u2019s mid-1970s peak. Gone were the LP fumbles in the dark post-Syd Barrett offering pearls of brilliance amid otherwise half-interesting conceptual mushes, and yet had Waters steered the band\u2019s albums toward his own biopic narratives, fuelling the likes of The Wall, as great as that record was.<\/p>\n Alchemic synergy was gleaned from The Dark Side of the Moon, the creative and sonic apex of Pink Floyd\u2019s evolution in the eyes of their fans, where conceptual scope, laser arrangements, and lyrical mining of the human condition all pulsed in heady, cosmic perfection, bringing the quartet the fame they\u2019d been chasing for years.<\/p>\n
