Date: April 30th, 2026 12:40 AM Author: boring white guy (Is it not the case) They put out 10 albums before they had a hit. Their founder went insane and when he stepped away due to mental illness there was an unresolved power struggle. Basically David was a musical genius and Roger was some sort of poet who felt like he was telling a novel through his music. To be fair he's widely considered one of the greatest rock lyricists of all time. Their peak period was in the 70s. Dark Side is a masterpiece and likely the biggest selling rock record of all time. Wish You Were Here was also incredibly good although not quite as good as TDSOTM. Animals sucked and they were mostly cooked at this point but Roger was all butthurt that the band wasn't enough about him so he wrote The Wall which was a rock opera about his life and how he hated school and was mad at his dad or something. Roger wrote The Wall almost entirely by himself but at the end he realized that it didn't have any good songs on it so he brought in David to write Comfortably Numb and the only other songs on it that don't suck. Everything after The Wall is trash. Most of the early stuff is trash too. They hit it incredibly big in the 70s though. They were the highest selling act of the decade afaik.

Date: April 30th, 2026 12:42 AM Author: boring white guy (Is it not the case) Yep. All of their biggest songs are oft Dark Side, Wish U Were Here, and The Wall. They only have 3 records normal people can recognize. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5861824&forum_id=2.#49853249) |

Date: April 30th, 2026 2:32 AM Author: boring white guy (Is it not the case) Money is by far Roger's greatest musical achievement. He didn't have that many hits in him though. I appreciate his lyrics. If it weren't for that one absolute banger what's his next best song? Hey You? I'm not saying he was trash but David's contributions have always dwarfed Roger's.
