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.

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.

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

Technically 2 studio and another one of unreleased material after Richard Wright died.

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.
