After seeing this http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/33243 fantastic list, I posted a list of Pink Floyd solo stuff. So I guess I'll make my own list.

This is the Pink Floyd Solo List.

Another good one. I like Golden Hair and Here I Go on this one. Golden Hair is pretty beautiful.

Technically this is Syd Barrett's first solo album, but I think the work was done at roughly the same time.

Shame that he wigged out.

I like this one, especially "If It's in You," complete with breakdown & mistakes.

I like this too. But it's sad to listen to.

Both of Syd's solo albums were released in the same year. They had some help from the other members of Pink Floyd. This one is pretty good although the songs are a little more whimsical than many of the Floyd songs.

I really like the last song on the album...Effervescing Elephant.

This one was a compilation of stuff that didn't make it to the other two albums.

Honorable Mention. The first two solo albums were released as a double album called "Syd Barrett"

David Gilmour: (1978)

This was David Gilmour's first solo album. My favorite song on this album is "So Far Away" but the rest of it is pretty good too. Lots of good guitar work.

My favorites are the three instrumentals. "Mihalis" builds intensity slowly then fades away nicely. "Raise My Rent" is essentially a long blueish guitar solo that is the predecessor to his ending solo on Comfortably Numb. And "Its Deafinitely" has some nice slide guitar.

This was released right after Roger Waters left the band and is a very good album. I like "Murder", "Out of the Blue" and "Let's Get Metaphysical". This album shows why David Gilmour is a guitar master. It also shows that he was the softer edge to Roger Waters.

Pete Townshend helped with Love on the Air in exchange for Gilmour's work on White City (Give Blood, the single is Gilmour's great guitar work). I have a solo Townshend concert tape with both tunes on it.

I used to have a VHS tape for a concert Townsend did at that time. I remember seeing Gilmour on it. Unfortunately, Mr. VCR was hungry the last time I watched it.

After a long hiatus from both Floyd and doing solo stuff, David Gilmour made this album. Some of the songs were written with his wife. My favorite on this is "Smile".

One of Nick Mason's solo efforts. I like this one but I really can't pick a favorite song.

Nick released three albums with Rick Fenn. Unfortunately, I don't have any of them. I did see Profiles in the store once...Never picked it up.

Profiles (1985)
