          He essentially wrote everything post Syd Barret all the way up to the Final Cut which was supposed to be Floyd’s last album.

              I’m not saying that the other members didn’t contribute, just that post Barret, Rogers wrote the vast majority.

              The drop in vision and quality after The Final Cut really shows. The division bell is essentially Gilmour ranting at the poltergeist of Roger.

          Except for the parts that David Gilmour wrote

      Some of the tracks are based on his childhood, and seeing how many The Wall tours he did. In 2016 he turned it into an opera. So the album is very personal to him.

        A lot of the tracks have to do with what both Waters and Gilmour went through as children, as they both lost their fathers to World War II. David Gilmour got writing credit on a bunch of the tracks as well. And given the amount of work that both Waters and Gilmore put into the album, it’s not really right to say that it was a solo project. Not even to mention what Nick Mason put into it. If you wanna cut out Richard Wright’s contributions, considering that he got fired during this album’s production, that would be fair.

          The Wall is absolutely Rogers album. The concept and the songs are all his. Gilmour only received credits on three of the songs.

          You can’t point to a few guitar solos and then give Gilmour half the credit, it was a great contribution, but even Gilmour would admit that Roger wrote the wall.
