Easily Roger’s best as it’s actually fun to listen to.
I’m going to see him live in July, but I have second thoughts already. I’ll have to have a good trawl around Liverpool’s pubs prior to the gloomfest I’ll no doubt be experiencing!
I bet Renaissance were great live, Nom. Was Annie Haslam with the band then?
If i remember correctly they toured with Wishbone Ash and Stackridge as a triple header, and had a female vocalist but i cant be sure it was Annie Haslam, so it must have been 1971.
Just for you and at great expense to my state of mind, I found it mate: My Life In The Bush of Ghosts.

Can’t think of another Roger Waters album left Ffosse?
20-The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking-1984
375-Is This The Life We Really Want?-2017
669-Radio KAOS-1986
706-Amused To Death-1992
My bad - my memory of that far back isn’t good and I’m lazy at searching for it. It’s one of my favourite albums which requires a good few listens to get a taste for it. So, no more Roger Waters, but surely some more Floyd.
I must confess to being ignorant of Renaissance (apart from the single Northern Lights), this evening I’ll give the whole album a proper listen.
Not sure but i thought the Music to Where the Wind Blows was Rodgers as well
The Bleeding Heart Band

Mel Collins – saxophone
Clare Torry – backing vocals on "Towers of Faith"
Paul Carrack – keyboards and vocals on "Folded Flags"
I had ‘Music From The Body’ in the back of my mind when I posted that actually, Nom. I thought it was crap when I got it on cassette in 1988, but I should give it another listen someday.
When The Wind Blows I thought of including, but I left it out as it’s not solely Roger Waters. he has one side to himself but there’s other stuff on the reverse side such as Squeeze and so on. But then, I do include some soundtracks so maybe it might have made the list early on somewhere.
No bother i had the film of Where the wind blows but cant remember if he was credited with the music solely. And of course Body is a film so both are soundtracks.
