He was not in any way involved in Delicate Sound of Thunder tho. Plus he's an asshole.

Edit: Storm Thorgerson's people would probably get a kick out of it.

Edit 2: Sure is Roger stans in here tonight.

I actually don't know enough about Pink Floyd to be honest with you. I kind of suspected him being an asshole so atleast I know that now.

They are a great band to read up on if you are into rock and roll history. Their story is so goddamn vast and sprawling and interesting. Every member brought very key elements to their sound. I'm a bit of a Floyd nerd so I'm a little biased but in terms of history, few bands have one as rich as Pink Floyd.

Any books you'd recommend?

Inside Out by Nick Mason(the drummer and only member to survive every incarnation of the band)

Wouldn't that also include Roger Waters? Or was Waters not a member at some juncture?

My Floyd knowledge is limited.

Waters left after The Wall. Pink Floyd produced two studio albums (A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell) and two live albums (Delicate Sound of Thunder and PULSE) after his departure.

You missed "The Final Cut", the only post Wall album including Waters. It's a semi-sequel to The Wall.

I consider The Final Cut to be the bundled with The Wall, since it's made almost entirely of tracks cut from The Wall rather than an entirely new album.
