I prefer About Face to the other albums. I have all the others but I seldom listen to On An Island or Live in Gdansk. The debut album is not bad but it might not be your cup of tea. I think About Face has his strongest set of songs. Hey but that's just me.
His solo guitar work on Brother Where You Bound by Supertramp is superb - (the title track).

While we are on the subject of Floydian solo albums I would be curious to see what people think of the other members of the group's solo efforts.
My faves are Roger Water's 'Radio KAOS' & Rick Wright's 'Broken China'. Nick Mason only has one that I know of - something called Fictitious Sports but I do not have a physical copy, only a download - don't like it.
The worst one is Roger's 'Music From the Body' - bloody awful concoction of noises and nonsense.

Thanks guys but with all the different suggestions in still none the wiser.....!
So, lets start again....
My favourite Floyd album is The Division Bell if that changes anyone's recommendations....
I have two or three of Waters solo albums, I'll have to have a quick skim through the tracks to let you know which one I like best.

In that case I would recommend 'On An Island'. But hold off for now CH. Wait and see what his new album is like. Might surprise us all.

What a great name for a band--"Still None the Wiser".

Yes, I agree but I would drop the 'Still' part.
