I thought this was the Music forum :D
Politics has taken over from religion for a lot of folk....it seems to dominate almost every subject.

From your Link i only see people call him 'anti-semitic'. I see no examples or evidence why he should be so.
You got any such examples, evidence or quotes?
I hope you don't think that: 'criticism of Israeli-government policy = anti-semitism' - that would be quite a fascistic character-assassination.
Have a look at the definition of 'anti-semitism', then have a look at Roger's quotes. You'll see that there's no relation.
Calling critics of the Isreali government 'anti-semitic' is like calling critics of African governments 'racist'.
Not really helpful, is it? Historical fascist regimes used similar tactics to shut down debate. And anyone familiar with Roger's lyrics over the years is that if he's to be labelled anything with accuracy, it's 'anti-fascist'.
Hopefully with that cleared up, you can offer an on-topic opinion on the thread subject?

Almost every track has a different vocal take...even the quiet ones have their own delivery (e.g. Nobody's Home vs Hey You). Quite extraordinary, to be fair.

Comfortably Numb is a belter, arguably best song on the album. David's vocals are effective, sure.
But not particularly unique or outstanding.

off-topic, but seen as you mention it have you got any examples or evidence of this alleged 'anti-semitism' ?

I agree the band collectively are greater than the sum of their parts. Love all the 1967-1983 period. Once Roger left the Floyd albums became very watered down. Similar can be said of Roger's solo albums: without the rest of the band there is a particular magic missing.
​
It's a shame the Live8 gig didn't inspire a proper band reunion.
​
On Syd: he only really contributed to the debut album. Some fine dandy stuff, sure. Everything after that - up to Wish You Were Here - is a team effort by the rest. Roger, as we know, led the trio of albums between 1977-1983.
​
Putting aside your personal views on Roger's character, would you agree his vocals on The Wall studio album are quite extraordinary? You don't even have to personally like it, but objectively it's a hell of a performance!
