I don't know who wrote that, but I don't believe it. That would mean Gilmour would have been credited on songs or he got cheated. That also doesn't explain the PF output prior to Gilmour or what Waters did after.

What are you talking about “credited?”

Credited by whom?

The pre-gilmour PF output was 1 album that wasn't even remotely the refined musicianship we would come to know post Gilmour. Piper just sounds like a bunch of young people tripping otu banging on instruments. It worked for the time but it's pretty pedestrian musically. Enter Gilmour and while it's still a bit raw you get glimpses of them tightening up musically. And from there they were off.

Its pretty much industry standard that the music songwriting credits go to the person writing the basic chords/melody and not arrangers/soloists. So for example, even though Richard Wright's intro solo in Sheep was really the most memorable part of the song musically, he got no songwriting credit because it wasn't the base chords/melody. Same with Gilmours solos on Money (or Dick Parry's for that matter). It's just the way the credits work out.

Another example is George Martin. He really transformed a lot the Beatles songs from simple ideas to what they became but got no songwriting credit on any of it.
