70s Best Replacement player ever.

I'd say the best replacement player ever has to be, David Gilmore. he replaced Syd. then helped Roger Waters produce 4 of the greatest rock lps of all time. DSOTM, Welcome to the Machine and the Wall. so then he goes on w/o roger to produce 2 multi platinum lp. who else is close.

Still prefer the Welch era albums like "mystery to me" over the pop Buckingham Nicks era, but maybe those were just over played
