Does Rolling Stone listen to anything past 1978?

"Sorrow", off of Momentary Lapse is better than "Learning to Fly". And it's not really a bad album, but w/o Roger Waters, and Nick Mason and Richard Wright serving in limited roles, plus an addition of 16 studio musicians, the last 2 Floyd albums are more like David Gilmour solo albums to me.

These are a lot of good songs. And they're compiled by "users" so it's not Rolling Stone's top 25.
Violent Femmes' "Country Death Song" is hilarious; wish I'd heard the whole album.
