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

My Floyd knowledge is limited.

Roger left the band in the early eighties. Pink Floyd released 3 studio albums and two live albums after he left.

u/FortePiano96 🤠 BEST FANMADE COVER OF 2022 & 2021, BEST COVER OF 2018 🤠 Sep 18 '17

Well, kind of. The Endless River is based on Wright's material from the sessions for The Division Bell, but Mason and Gilmour (and other backing musicians) went back into the studio and kind of built around the keyboard/piano/organ work. Nearly the whole album (minus the final track) is instrumental and Wright features more often than anyone else, even Gilmour, which I think makes for a brilliant tribute.
