Gilmour and Waters were genius together, but apart, I'll take Gilmour sans Waters any day over Waters sans Gilmour.

Radio KAOS *WAS* awful, and Amused to Death was, in my opinion, the final nail in the coffin of Waters' inability to generate anything good without the inspiration of his former bandmate and musical superior.

Waters might be the more creative in terms of concepts and lyrics, but his musical creativity has been shown to be limited to "Final Cut", the album he has done, musically-speaking, what - five times? Gilmour might not have the conceptual genius that Waters has - or, at minimum, isn't interested in doing albums of conceptual continuity - but at least his music is good. And not just good, damned good.

But ultimately, neither is as good alone as they are together - there was an amazing creative spark between those two, and they put together a hell of a lot of serious and insanely artistic albums.
