While I like the new Gilmour CD, I think that he needs Roger Waters alongside -- for that matter, Waters needs Gilmour too. Not sure that Lennon and McCartney are the right analogy, but they're the partners who can produce some magical music if they can't just refrain from killing each other. Gilmour is like McCartney, needs the partner to add some b*lls to the material. Waters is like Lennon, who benefits from a partner's ability to tone down the sarcasm or cynicism. Hey, I said the analogy might not hold -- but it's better than comparing the bickering boys of Floyd to Sonny and Cher...
Happy Listening.
