I don't know what exactly to say about all this, Ziggy. Except, if Gilmour pointed to Satie as the influence on those songs here, then I believe him.

The main theme that runs throughout the entire Pros and Cons album is "dumber".ZiggyZipgun wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 8:03 pm 2010:
Roger Waters: We needed a beginning, so I went into a room with a bass guitar and went, 'I need something that's really stupid-sounding. Really loud, monolithic, dumb.' And I've grown rather fond of that riff in the intervening years.

I like Rattle That Lock a lot, but I think I still prefer On An Island - particularly the full live version from Gdańsk.mosespa wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 8:21 pmWhile I've not put it in the CD player for probably a couple of years now, I have listened to "Rattle That Lock" in its entirety far more times that I listened to "On An Elevator" in its entirety.
It was definitely a better album than I was expecting it to be...and far superior to "The Endless Drivel."
I feel much the same. My introduction to On an Island came through a Blu-Ray copy of Remember That Night my teacher loaned me once and it is to this day my favourite David Gilmour album. If I need to just float away to some music, it's a high candidate. Rattle That Lock a little less so, but it still has some damn good moments - "And Then..." is such a beautiful album closer.ZiggyZipgun wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 12:28 pm

Luckily I've never had to choose, and they all get played regularly in the car and around the house. And just when I start to wonder if I've been overplaying it, my wife will pull in the driveway with "And Then..." blaring like she's testing out new speakers in her Jeep.
But a Roger Waters album, on the other hand? I've rarely had the urge to put one on, and the last time she was in the car when I did, it was vetoed immediately.
It was Is This the Life We Really Want?, shortly after it came out - but long before that, we'd made it through Pros and Cons and had moved on to Amused to Death, and she didn't turn it off, but simply said, "His solo stuff does nothing for me." I knew she was a keeper!theaussiefloydian wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 3:15 pm(I am curious as to which of Waters' albums your wife vetoed though)
