Roger Waters

Lyricist and songwriter among the greatest of all time, a sharp analyst of the contradictions and paranoias of the human soul and today's sociopolitical reality, with his distressed and dystopian visions of walls, flying pigs, and war scenarios, he has created a powerful and immortal imagery that cannot leave anyone indifferent. "Animals," "The Wall," "The Final Cut," "Amused to Death" cut like razors and will continue to do so for a long time. Not an exceptional bassist and a personally questionable figure, but he can be forgiven for that.
