He's a good writer but musically I would call him subpar.

Nothing about the The Wall (the music to which, was 'mostly' written by Roger) is sub-par. It maybe insightful to call this period, Roger's highpoint, but people who also write songs like "Money" and "Brain Damage" probably deserve a rating above 'sub par'? Just an opinion.

[Pottel]

he is talking about his musical skills, not his writing skills, which are way OVER par :-)

Funny that this song was featured here, been listening to it alot lately. But I don't see what's wrong with RW in terms of the performance? Is it that he doesn't do the guitar solo himself? I think people should be praised for what they're good at, not where they lack some skill. How would we rate Mark the piano player? Probably sub-par. Does it matter? No.
