    I love Roger Waters, even though in recent years he's behaved like a dictator... unfortunately, however, in the charts you have to make choices, even loving ones..... (I hate charts)

    I'm not mad at Zappa, but at Dylan, who was first when I saw the chart for the first time.

    But do you know that it's good? Aside from the terrible Gilmour, the terrible Clapton, and Dylan, who in comparison to those two is really a genius...

    Aside from the fact that Clapton could be the master of the master of the master of Dylan on guitar. The same goes for Gilmour. Unfortunately, when it comes to Dylan's Topo Gigio voice, there’s no master who can hold a candle to it. Regards.

    Are we talking about artists or about guitarists? Because if we’re talking about guitarists, I could name so many more to include. Also, I don’t understand what you have against Dylan.. Second thing: Clapton is an amazing guitarist, but Gilmour plays from the heart.. try listening to the solos written by Gilmour played by anyone else, they don’t move me at all like when he plays them.

    I quite agree on Gilmour. Perhaps you misunderstood what I wrote in my last comment; with that idem I meant to say that Gilmour would also have a lot to teach Dylan. Like everyone else you mentioned. I can't stand Dylan as a musician. Do we want to classify him as a poet? Even worse. He’s someone who scrapes by without having real talent in anything. If we wanted to classify him as a sycophant, then yes, I would totally agree with you.

    hahahaha! (straight to the point, I like it)
    Alright, we’ve sorted out Gilmour, mainly because I care about David!
    As for Bob, look, as I’ve already said, I can’t reevaluate him for the moment.. I like the lyrics, but there are definitely many other good lyricists out there.. Waters, for example.

    Gilmour can't compose and we place him eleventh in a ranking of the greatest artists of all time. Above a Wyatt. Clapton is slightly better because he was the soul of Cream, who did manage to create something good, but being the eighth greatest artist of all time seems quite excessive, above a Reed. I don't like Dylan, but objectively he has done something! Another thing I don't agree with: Lennon above Fripp. But the ranking, as a whole, yes, I like it! You included Waits, who is an underrated genius, the great Jimi, and in first place (which I fully agree with) the one and only Frank! Great job, Uncle Moritz!

    To say that Gilmour doesn't know how to compose, frankly... seems like an incredibly ridiculous thing. The soul of Cream was Bruce, not Clapton, and Fripp could very well carry Lennon’s bags (we're not talking about technique, eh...). The ranking is good.

    All these compliments flatter me, I keep saying that I detest rankings. I just tried to include something that I like, but fortunately I'm not that limited... I've heard so much more.
    Anyway, for me, Gilmour really knows how to compose. I mean, tastes are tastes; maybe he is the best artist of all time... that statement is actually exaggerated. :)
    As for Waits, I totally agree with you, he's simply unmatchable!

    But come on guys, Gilmour fits perfectly among the best, for sure. In the end, though, it's true that he doesn't know how to compose; he's only written the music for some of the greatest masterpieces in history...

    Sure, then you find the die-hard fans of prog or classical who think that if it's not something ultra complicated / super brainy, then it's not good and you don't know how to compose...

    hahaha, that's so true! Then there are the metalheads who are the worst, I've listened to a lot of metal and I'm glad I got out of the phase: "if it doesn't make noise and isn't fast, it's shit." You have to listen to a bit of everything, listen to what you like especially since no one gives you a prize for listening to Mozart.

    Yes, but I agree. When I say Metallari, I mean those who are stuck on Metal genres and won’t budge from there. I love Pantera, for example, and right after that I could listen to The Beatles (like you). Labels really get on my nerves.

    Art is also in knowing how to play, not just in knowing how to compose. Stefano90, if you don't realize the greatness of Clapton's performance (who is also great as a singer, go listen to him live) then I give up. And that "non sà" with the accent on the "a" truly cries out for justice.

    It was meant to mimic those who think they know everything just because they indulge in so-called "classical music" and sit in judgment on who knows and who doesn't know how to compose. Certainly, I don't concern myself with such problems either...

    Trevor Reznik, what are you saying?? Waters had to bug Gilmour for six months just to get him to write one song for Ummagumma!! Then practically he and Mason did nothing!! Gilmour was indeed a great producer and a decent guitarist, but definitely not a composer... When Barrett was around, he did everything; when he left, Waters did everything. You should educate yourself.
     
  • Stefano90

    @quadrophenia, you are absolutely right about the accent!! Sorry. I didn't say Clapton can't compose, but that it seems excessive to me being placed there!

    Listen to On an Island and then we'll talk about it again. Also, in The Division Bell, Waters isn't there. And even if it imitates the previous ones, it's an incredibly badass album.
     
  • Trevor Reznik
    Trevor Reznik
    15 jun 10
    No Stefano, it's you who needs to educate yourself: Barrett lasted one and a half albums, and Waters started doing everything himself from Animals. Before, he (Roger) wrote all the lyrics and the music was mainly written by Gilmour and Wright, with contributions from the others as well. And anyway, the immense "Comfortably Numb" (entirely composed by Gilmour for his solo album) would be enough to refute you. Not to mention the two Gilmour albums that don't exactly seem like two shitty albums to me, even if they are inferior to their peak. In any case, a statement like "Gilmour cannot compose" seems really unkind to me.

    The realm of classical music, in general, and anyway, the very act of scrutinizing who knows how to compose and who doesn’t seems like nonsense to me. But who decides who knows and who doesn’t know how to compose?

    The Division Bell is the worst of Pink Floyd, absolutely disposable... the problem is that you guys are so obsessed with Pink Floyd, okay? On this site, there are all these Floyd fanatics, and heaven forbid you touch them. It's perfectly normal for someone not to like something, can you just deal with that?? Can you manage not to be such a pain in the ass about this? One person says they are the ultimate expression of art, another says they are monuments, and yet another claims that all their works are masterpieces... I don't agree, can you respect those who think like me, or will you just have to be a nuisance for life?? I've listened to everything and I don't have to talk to anyone; if I don't know, I don't speak. But since I know Pink Floyd all too well, I feel entitled to express a personal judgment. Okay?? If I had made The Division Bell, nobody would have given a damn about it, and it's a pathetic reunion of a group of old men who have nothing left to say or do.

    Come on, indeed.. let's not take it too seriously, sure, his position might seem exaggerated to some.. but I'm not a music critic (and I would also stay away from real music critics), so let's not care.. for me it works and I also consider him a good composer, someone with creativity to spare.. and even if it weren't so, just two pulled bends and this man starts to appear in my dreams.

    Certainly, you can express yourself however you feel. In fact, you must do it! It would be a shame if you just adapted. I like The Division Bell; I consider it the worst too, but I still like it, and that doesn't mean I have to force you to listen to it every morning. I'm a big fan of the Floyd, and it doesn't seem to me that it jumped out immediately; rather, for me, this ranking has value exclusively for me. Just like in another person's opinion, you could include Iva Zanicchi—it's their business.

    Yes, one might not love Pink Floyd, but to even say that "Gilmour can't compose" is just you calling everyone else foolish. I consider "The Division Bell" an excellent album, and that other phrase "it's a pathetic reunion of a bunch of old guys who have nothing left to say or do" frankly... then, coincidentally, they disappeared even though in 2005 they could have returned by riding the wave of the reunion. After all, you should also show a minimum of respect for a band that, whether you like it or not, has made history like no other.

    Just to say, Dogs was almost entirely composed by Gilmour. For me, Pink Floyd cannot and must not be just Waters, because that's a huge load of nonsense. Anyway, maybe there are people here who read too much on WIKI and nothing else, what do we say??

    These phrases drive me crazy!! What does it mean they made history like no one else?? Barrett made history, he created PSYCHEDELIA!!!! These are facts! What would the others have done?? Then I won’t let you make me look like an idiot just because I expressed my opinion and you all jumped on me like dogs. Damn, you’re incredible. I don’t have to respect anyone! I don’t respect any group because, like it or not, they’ve all sold out in the end, except for a very few, among them Zappa (more than Gilmour, but you don’t even know who he is), Waits, and a handful of others.

    I wouldn't know who Gilmour is? Well, listen, he also gets on my nerves being a Waters fan, but if someone says they can't compose, they can't expect not to be challenged. What would the others have done? So the post-Barrett albums aren't worth anything? Well, it seems I've understood that we're on two different planets.

    Then this nonsense that Fripp could carry bags for Lennon, have you lost your mind? Do you even know who Robert Fripp is?? He is practically King Crimson, the fathers of progressive (music for intelligent people, you say). Lennon?? Alone without the other three is worth a tenth of Fripp in terms of compositional skill, a tenth my dear!!

    Dear, unfortunately for me, Lennon’s songwriting and his genius, both with the Beatles and solo, are worth much more than even the great Fripp, whom, by the way, I know very well. See?

    Well, he was certainly accompanied by two other great musicians (let's exclude Starr the drummer). But Lennon dared to challenge this fucked-up society, and that’s enough for me. I'm not saying that Fripp should carry his bags, I really can't go that far... They are different characters.

    Vasco can't sing, but I like some of his lyrics. They are both sellouts, but I deeply detest Ligabue. I don't know what he does with that guitar slung over his shoulder; the lyrics are horrible, and we won't even talk about the music... all the songs are fucking the same, and there are people who identify with what he "writes." What kind of life do you have to have to relate to one of his lyrics?
