Roger Waters

The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking HARVEST, 1984

In 1978, Waters offered Pink

Floyd the choice of two concepts for their next album. One was The Wall. The other would become his first solo album six years later.

A nocturnal waking dream set to music, right down to its timestamped song titles, TPACOHH charts a journey through the psyche of its confused middleaged protagonist, Reg. Squint and it could be a Floyd album, with guest guitarist Eric Clapton standing in for Gilmour.

There are musical echoes of Waters’s old band throughout, but it’s also distinctive, unique and frequently batshit crazy in the way that only Waters is.
