The only Pink Floyd song I liked was High Hopes.

I tried listening to the wall. It's an interesting concept album, but I guess it didn't have that effect on me as it did with the rest of the hardcore fans in this thread...and in the world :p

Still a great band, though...but I never got into them, myself.

wall is really good. and it is two different things only to listen it and to listen and to watch it. every time i watch it, in some places i always have tears in my eyes. it's so expressive, touching (i don't really know the right word to describe it even in my language)..
and i couldn't take separate songs - that album goes as a one song, which is really really good..

good album.not great as far as im concerned.it sold a lot of copies,something like 15 or 25 million.i cant remember correctly.but pink floyd have done better.i personally find albums like 'wish you were here' and 'dark side of the moon' to be light years ahead of the wall in terms of quality.

i agree darkside is miles ahead, but not wish you were here. i love the album but the wall as a whole is a much better album than wish you were here, which i hardly consider a album at all.

I never saw this thread, and I'm happy I've found it. This album is the most mature Pink Floyd album; Roger Waters is a musical genius, at least that's what I think. David Gilmour really shows his versatility during this album, as his guitar work is phenomenal. Yeah, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are great albums too, but this album is all over the map, and the re-occurring musical themes (like the delay-drenched D that Gilmour constantly returns to) get me everytime.

I neglected this CD for a real long time, as I thought it was too "out there" for me. However, now, having started recording a few years back, listening to The Wall helps me think beyond the idea of mainstream. It's helped my own mind (musically speaking) broaden. It's just different.
