Before moving on to the David Gilmour led era of Pink Floyd, let's discuss Roger Waters departure from the band in 1985, the infamous lawsuit that led to rock and roll's greatest rivalry and briefly touch on solo albums from the 80s such as Roger's Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking and Radio K.A.O.S. David Gilmour's About Face, Nick Mason's Profiles and Richard Wright's Identity with Zee.

Amazing job on the video, JT. I totally agree with you at the end. It's really the music that matters most. In the future, nobody will care about all the arguments and shit throwing that went on between Roger and David. But you know what people will still care about? The music. I myself am a Gen Z-er, but discovering Pink Floyd has changed my life. Their music has not only helped me get into other amazing rock bands (and other genres like jazz and jazz fusion), but they influenced my own music and have gotten me through difficult times. They certainly helped me get through COVID, and I can't thank them enough for that. It is up to the fans to keep the music alive, and I think there will still be fans even a thousand years from now. And I'll admit, I don't like Momentary Lapse of Reason. I even prefer Ummagumma over it, but it still has its own merits and a few great songs. It's still a part of Pink Floyd's catalog and deserves to be treated as such. If anything, it's helps set the scene for Division Bell (which I really like). There's a Floyd album for everyone, and none of them should be discredited for arbitrary stupid reasons.

As someone who latched strongly onto Roger for his lyrical abilities, I have to admit that it's been a hard pill to swallow, but these amazing records would not have existed unless everyone contributed. I'm about to hit 30 years of age, and as someone who has been growing as a musician and future engineer, the less I enjoy Roger's music as a whole. Not to say it's bad, but like you said "It just feels like something's missing." I appreciate how you've handled all this, JT. You're a true pro!

Thank you! As I mentioned, this isn't meant to portray Roger as the villain, it's just unfortunately what happened.
